About our flat roof survey in Murrell Green
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can be seen safely: from the roof itself where that is safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there is access. We don’t walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. If part of the roof cannot be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so you know exactly what was covered. We survey upstands and outlets, felt flat roofs and EPDM rubber, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are pools of water lying on the roof and blocked or damaged outlets.
In a village or hamlet like Murrell Green, flat roofs are usually on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

When to book a survey in Murrell Green
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.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Water getting in at rooflights
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hook Junior School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Will the report include photos?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What they will not be able to tell you
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Murrell Green, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

What happens if roof problems are left?
Standing water on a flat roof rarely sorts itself out. It usually points to an outlet, the falls or a sagging deck, and each wet season wears the covering further. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Murrell Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber
EPDM frequently lasts 30 to 50 years, but it relies on its seams, trims and upstands being well finished. Those details are where we focus.
Single-ply membranes
On single-ply roofs, the welds between sheets are the key detail. We look at seams, corners and the joints around outlets and upstands.
Flat roof surveys in Murrell Green: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. With Stratfield Saye House about 4.9 miles north-west, Murrell Green sits in an area with a long building history. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Winchfield station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Murrell Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Murrell Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Murrell Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Murrell Green is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photos, covering the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
