Flat roof survey in Oxshott
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. We record the condition with photographs so work can be planned and budgeted. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. If you are worried about failed upstands where the roof meets a wall and blistering in felt or asphalt, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In smaller places like Oxshott, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Flat roof surveys around Oxshott
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. The Homewood, about 1.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Oxshott. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Andrew's Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Royal Kent CofE Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Oxshott is about 3 miles north-west of Leatherhead, in Surrey. Bookings from Oxshott are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Oxshott is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our Guildford page covers surveys nearby.

When to book a survey in Oxshott
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. Blocked outlets, poor falls and a sagging deck are the usual causes. Where trees are close by, leaves and silt can block an outlet within a single autumn.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Loose or cracked edge trims
Landlords with a home close to Oxshott station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.
What to check before booking
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How soon the report will arrive
Why act early in Oxshott
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. 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. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Oxshott, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

Checking the roof from the ground
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.

How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In a smaller place like Oxshott, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- 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
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Advice
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
The report is emailed to you, ready to share with a roofer, the seller or a managing agent. It is written in plain English, with a photograph of each defect, so anyone reading it can see what we saw.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.
