About our flat roof survey in North Waltham
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. We survey EPDM rubber, mastic asphalt and upstands and outlets, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are pools of water lying on the roof and outlets choked with leaves and silt.
Somewhere as small as North Waltham, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:

- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

When to book a survey in North Waltham
The details are frequently where a flat roof lets go first. Upstands, edge trims, outlets and the kerbs around rooflights move and weather differently from the rest of the roof. Where they weren’t finished well, they tend to fail before anything else.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Water getting in at rooflights
Take a building like North Waltham Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
For landlords and building managers, the report is a dated record of the roof’s condition. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.
Local flat roofs in North Waltham
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you live in an older home near Church of St. Michael's, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. Landlords with a home close to Micheldever station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Around North Waltham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that’s safe.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Where there’s safe access, we look at the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- You get a written report with photographs and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Advice
Your questions about flat roof surveys in North Waltham
Do you cover smaller places like North Waltham?
Yes. North Waltham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in North Waltham?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
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.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t put a figure on it. Typical ranges are around 15 to 20 years for felt, 30 to 50 for EPDM and up to about 30 for GRP, but your report describes the actual condition.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: on the roof where it’s safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Ponding is worth looking into. It frequently means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.

Rubber roofs can shrink back from their edges or lift where the adhesive has failed. We record any we can see, with photos.
