Why get it checked now?
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 business. Older cottages and farmhouses around Over Wallop can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Over Wallop
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it’s doing helps you plan what comes next. If you are worried about damaged trims at the roof edge and standing water left after rain, we can find out what’s behind it.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Over Wallop take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, frequently around 15–20 years in life, show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up

For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
How the survey changes by roof type
Mastic asphalt
Mastic asphalt is a heavy, seamless covering often found on older blocks, balconies and commercial roofs. The survey checks for crazing, cracking, blistering and splits where the asphalt turns up the walls.
GRP fibreglass
A well-laid GRP roof often lasts up to about 30 years. Cracking where boards meet or where the deck moves is a common early sign of trouble.
What happens on the day
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Around Over Wallop, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- Every part of the roof we can see is looked at: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Where there’s safe access, we look at the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations and emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Flat and commercial roofs around Over Wallop
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Peter, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. For landlords with property near Grateley station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. Anyone responsible for a site like Wallop Primary School will know that schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Prices for flat roof surveys in Over Wallop
