Flat roof survey in North Camp: what you get
Water through a flat roof does not always come in where the stain is. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, and photograph anything that could let water in. A roofer can then start from a clear picture of the problem. We survey upstands and outlets, single-ply membranes and EPDM rubber, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting in at rooflights and raised blisters across the surface.
Around North Camp, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. If you want them looked at too, mention them as you book. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Flat roofs in North Camp
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. About 4.8 miles south-west lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around North Camp has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near North Camp station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after.

What this survey cannot tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

Why act early in North Camp
Standing water on a flat roof rarely sorts itself out. Most often it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and each wet season wears the covering further. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. Around North Camp, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes roughly 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 North Camp is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We look at the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Related advice
Do you need a flat roof survey in North Camp?
Water that doesn’t drain sits on the roof and speeds up wear. It normally 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.
We’re frequently asked to look at:
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Pools of water lying on the roof
Take a building like St Mark's Church of England Aided Primary School: a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
FAQs for North Camp
Is North Camp in the area you cover?
Yes, North Camp is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in North Camp as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Camp?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you go up onto the roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: on the roof where it’s safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. If you don’t know what your roof is, we will identify it on the day.
