Flat Roof Survey in Nately Scures
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings in Nately Scures, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Nately Scures can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that is safe.
- 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.
- You get a report with photographs and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Booking a survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

How a flat roof survey works in Nately Scures
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: from the roof itself where that’s safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there’s access. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. If part of the roof can’t be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so the limits of the survey are clear. We survey EPDM rubber, upstands and outlets and single-ply membranes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are splits, cracks and crazing and gaps at upstands and abutments.
Some older homes in villages like Nately Scures are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Nately Scures
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.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Standing water left after rain
- A sagging deck under the covering
Take a building like Robert May's School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

Flat roofs in Nately Scures
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Historic houses like The Vyne, about 4.9 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Nately Scures goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own a rental within reach of Hook station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Take an older house close to Church of St. Nicholas: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

How we price flat roof surveys
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the roof is
- Which survey package you book
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Getting in touch
These details help when you contact us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Look for standing water a day after rain
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It is useful when planning upkeep and setting budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. A flat roof that is looked after between surveys usually lasts longer.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Common questions in Nately Scures
Do you carry out roof surveys in Nately Scures?
Yes, Nately Scures is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Nately Scures is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the flat roof, any defects and our recommendations, 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.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
We cover the main flat roof coverings: felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply. We record what the covering is and how it’s holding up.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It frequently means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and it wears the covering faster. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
