How do I book a survey in Monxton?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?

Will this cover the whole house?
No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.

What happens next?

Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Monxton
A flat roof leak often travels before it shows on the ceiling. It can run along the deck from a split, an open lap or a failed upstand some distance away. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, with photos of anything that could be letting water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. We survey mastic asphalt, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are splits, cracks and crazing and outlets that hold water back.
In a small place like Monxton, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, usually show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Local flat roofs in Monxton
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear. Anyone responsible for a site like Amport Church of England Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Monxton is about 3 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. We carry out flat roof surveys for householders, landlords and businesses in Monxton. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. Our Southampton page covers surveys nearby.
We work across the SP11 postcode area for flat roof surveys and the streets around it.

Nearby, we also carry out flat roof surveys in Amport (1 mile west), Abbotts Ann (1 mile south-east), Fox (1 mile south-west), Little Ann (2 miles south-east) and Anna Valley (2 miles east).

Local landmarks in Monxton
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Black Swan Public House and John Hanson Community School. Monxton’s nearest station is Andover station, roughly 2.8 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Andover Museum (3.4 miles east) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (2.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Anton Lakes and Mill Lake.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Signs you need a flat roof survey in Monxton
People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. New brackets and fixings through the roof are another common source of leaks.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Ponding water that doesn’t drain away
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
If you let a flat or house near Andover station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
What affects the price in Monxton
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
Many people send the report to two or three roofers for quotes. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. It is your choice who carries out the work and when.
Try not to let a flat roof become a walkway. Where someone does need access, ask them to use boards or a protected route, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs are laid as a resin and glass-fibre layer over boards. The survey checks for cracking at board joints, at the edge trims and where the roof meets walls.
Mastic asphalt
Without seams, asphalt tends to fail through cracking and at its skirtings. We record any crazing or splits and where water may be getting in.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos. On timing, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Monxton frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
