Flat roof survey in New Haw, Surrey
Know where you stand with the flat roof before you spend money on it. We carry out flat roof surveys in New Haw.
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Cracked or split membrane
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Book a survey every few years
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
Many people send the report to two or three roofers for quotes. With each roofer working from the same list, comparing quotes is simpler. It is your choice who carries out the work and when.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. Where someone does need access, ask them to use boards or a protected route, and remind them never to step on rooflights or fragile sheets.
How a flat roof survey works in New Haw
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so it helps if you call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. Typical surveys look at outlets that hold water back and upstands pulling away from walls, on mastic asphalt, single-ply membranes and EPDM rubber.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like New Haw frequently have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. If you want them looked at too, mention them when booking, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Flat and commercial roofs around New Haw
Byfleet Manor, about 1.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around New Haw. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
For an older house near a landmark like All Saints Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For landlords with property near Byfleet & New Haw station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Take a building like The Grange Community Infant School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
New Haw is about 2 miles south-west of Weybridge, in Surrey. We visit New Haw as part of our work across Surrey. We cover towns and villages across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. There’s also a page for Guildford.

Why act early in New Haw
On a commercial building, a flat roof leak can disrupt tenants, staff and stock. Surveying the roof in good time means work can be planned and budgeted around the people who use the building. Around New Haw, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in New Haw
Will you come out to New Haw?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in New Haw listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?
We check the whole roof, since water can travel before it shows inside. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is checked. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.

What else we do in New Haw
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. A visit to a smaller place like New Haw is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave side gates unlocked
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
- Parts of the roof that are not safe to walk on or view
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
