Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Oakley Green
Water through a flat roof doesn’t always come in where the stain is. It can run along the deck from a split, an open lap or a failed upstand some distance away. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, and photograph anything that could let water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. If you are worried about standing water left after rain and leaks around rooflights, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Oakley Green, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What this survey can’t tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

Prices for flat roof surveys in Oakley Green
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Oakley Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.

Advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
If you are buying, find out about the flat roof before you exchange. Once you’ve exchanged, any work on the roof is down to you. A report gives you facts to put to the seller or agent. For older village homes like those around Oakley Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Flat roof surveys in Oakley Green: local notes
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are lots of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill, about 1 mile south-east, show how far back building in the area around Oakley Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you own a rental within reach of Windsor & Eton Central station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. The streets around a church such as All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alexander First School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

How the survey changes by roof type
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt roofs are common on older flats, walkways and commercial buildings. The survey checks for crazing, cracking, blistering and splits where the asphalt turns up the walls.
Felt and built-up roofs
Built-up felt is one of the most common flat roof coverings on extensions, garages and dormers. We look for blistering, cracking, split laps and worn mineral surfacing.
