Questions from Ockford Ridge
Will you come out to Ockford Ridge?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you cover Ockford Ridge?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Ockford Ridge as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
Felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes are all part of the work. The report names the covering and explains its condition.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
How much does a flat roof survey cost in Ockford Ridge?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Offices, units, shops and blocks of flats are all part of our work. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address.
About our flat roof survey in Ockford Ridge
If the house you’re buying has a flat roof on an extension, dormer or garage, it’s worth knowing its condition before exchange. Felt roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM and GRP often last longer. Our report records the covering, how it’s holding up and any defects we can see, with a photo of every defect. You then have something specific to put to the seller or agent. We survey EPDM rubber, mastic asphalt and GRP fibreglass, and people most often book us about raised blisters across the surface and upstands pulling away from walls.
Somewhere as small as Ockford Ridge, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them as you book.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Prices for flat roof surveys in Ockford Ridge
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Which survey package you book
- The roof’s overall size
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Somewhere as small as Ockford Ridge, access is frequently the only tricky part. 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.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
Flat roofs cannot usually be seen from the street, so they’re frequently overlooked. Owners often learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. Regular surveys mean it won’t come as a surprise. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- An independent look at the roof
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies

Flat roofs in Ockford Ridge
The wider area around Ockford Ridge has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 4.1 miles north. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Take an older house close to St John the Evangelist's Church: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

What we’re asked to look at in Ockford Ridge
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. People usually call us when a leak appears, before a purchase, or when the roof may be near the end of its life.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Standing water left after rain
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
If you let a flat or house near Milford (Surrey) station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
