Nashes Green Flat Roof Survey
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nashes Green. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Ponding water that doesn’t drain away
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Older rural homes like those around Nashes Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You let us know about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- We view the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof where it is safe to do so.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- You get a photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
How to book
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

About our flat roof survey in Nashes Green
A flat roof does not shed water the way a pitched roof does. Water lies on the surface for longer, so a small split or a blocked outlet can soon lead to a leak. We check the surface, the falls, the upstands and the edge trims, and we note any sign that the deck below has got wet. The aim is to find problems before they show up as a stain on a ceiling. If you’re worried about cracked or split membrane and outlets choked with leaves and silt, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Nashes Green may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you are planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Flat roof surveys around Nashes Green
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. Hall Place, about 3.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nashes Green. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For landlords with property near Alton station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

How the survey changes by roof type
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt roofs are common on older flats, walkways and commercial buildings. We look for crazing, cracks, blisters and splits at the skirtings.
Felt and built-up roofs
Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, depending on how they were laid and looked after. Our report sets out its condition and the areas most at risk.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Every price we give includes VAT. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Useful tips for Nashes Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
The report is emailed to you, ready to share with a roofer, the seller or a managing agent. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo, so others can follow it without going up to look.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after any work that goes through it. You’ll spot changes early and have a record to look back on.
Nashes Green questions
Do you cover Nashes Green?
Yes, Nashes Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Nashes Green as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Nashes Green?
Yes, Nashes Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on commercial buildings as well as homes. Expect about 3 to 4 hours on site for most commercial roofs, and larger roofs are quoted for their size.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Is a flat roof survey the same as a building survey?
No. Our survey covers the flat roof only. It is not a RICS Level 2 or 3 home survey or a structural engineer’s report. It often sits alongside a buyer’s building survey.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
We check the covering and every detail where leaks commonly start, recording anything that could let water through. If the source is hidden, we may suggest a leak investigation or electronic leak detection.

What we are asked to look at in Nashes Green
Every flat roof covering has a working life. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, although how well it was laid and looked after matters a great deal. A survey shows how yours is holding up, whatever its age.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Leaks around rooflights
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St. Mary, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
