How a flat roof survey works in New Alresford
Buying a home with a flat-roofed extension, dormer or garage? It’s useful to know that roof’s condition before you exchange. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM and GRP often last longer. Our report records the covering, how it is holding up and any defects we can see, with photographs of each. That gives you facts to raise with the seller or agent. Common reasons to book are cracked or split membrane and damaged trims at the roof edge, on EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like New Alresford often have flat roofs of their own. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them when booking. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Prices for flat roof surveys in New Alresford
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Booking your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- When you need the report by
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

New Alresford questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in New Alresford?
Yes, New Alresford is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in New Alresford is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
What insurance do you have?
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.
Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?
No. It is a survey of the flat roof. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building, and it is not a structural engineer’s report. It frequently sits alongside a buyer’s building survey.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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 the ground.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to New Alresford is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave side gates unlocked
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Local flat roofs in New Alresford
With Hinton Ampner House about 3 miles south, New Alresford sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sun Hill Junior School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

Useful tips for New Alresford property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
After the visit, we write up the report with photos of what we found. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.
Why act early in New Alresford
If you are buying, find out about the flat roof before you exchange. After that, the cost of any work is yours. A report gives you facts to put to the seller or agent. On a bungalow or cottage around New Alresford, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
