Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mundaydean Bottom
Each type of flat roof has its own weak points. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Once you know the covering and its condition, planning the next step is far easier. We survey single-ply membranes, upstands and outlets and EPDM rubber, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or split membrane and outlets that hold water back.
Somewhere as small as Mundaydean Bottom, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
When to book a survey in Mundaydean Bottom
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. It usually comes from poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that has dipped. Where trees are close by, leaves and silt can block an outlet within a single autumn.
Common reasons to book include:
- Blocked or damaged outlets
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Leaks around rooflights
Take a building like Burford School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Before booking anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the survey will not cover
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Useful tips for Mundaydean Bottom property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Make sure new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Book a survey every few years, and again after new fixings, units or rooflights go in. You’ll spot changes early and have a record to look back on.

Flat roof surveys in Mundaydean Bottom: local notes
Harleyford Manor, about 2.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Mundaydean Bottom. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Landlords with a home close to Marlow station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If you run a business near Eden, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

FAQs for Mundaydean Bottom
Do you cover Mundaydean Bottom?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I find out if my home in Mundaydean Bottom is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is a flat roof survey the same as a building survey?
No. It’s a closer look at the flat roof, not a survey of the whole property. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. A commercial roof usually takes about 3 to 4 hours on site, longer if it is large or complex, with larger roofs quoted on their size.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
Felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes are all part of the work. The report names the covering and explains its condition.
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Mundaydean Bottom often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We check the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
