- Fragile surfaces, which we do not walk on
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What we look at

- Single-ply membranes
Flat roof survey in Peasemore: what you get
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. Common reasons to book are loose or cracked edge trims and failed seals around rooflight kerbs, on single-ply membranes, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber.
Somewhere as small as Peasemore, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What else we do in Peasemore
Why get it checked now?
Flat roofs cannot typically be seen from the street, so they’re often overlooked. Owners frequently learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. Regular surveys mean it will not come as a surprise. Outbuildings and barns around Peasemore are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Questions from Peasemore
Will you come out to Peasemore?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you cover Peasemore?
Yes, Peasemore is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?
We check the covering and every detail where leaks commonly start, recording anything that could let water through. If the source is hidden, we may suggest a leak investigation or electronic leak detection.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
We do not test for asbestos. Where a roof has materials that might contain asbestos, such as old cement sheeting, the report flags them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them.
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Peasemore, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- 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.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
How to prepare
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
How to book
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber
EPDM frequently lasts 30 to 50 years, but it relies on its seams, trims and upstands being well finished. We look closely at each of those details.
Rooflights and upstands
The joins around rooflights and at upstands are common leak points. We check the seals and the covering around each one.
Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Flat and commercial roofs around Peasemore
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Whatever the street in Peasemore, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Peasemore
Flat roofs swing between hot and cold more than most parts of a building. This constant movement works at laps, seams and board joints, and in time it can open up splits and cracks. Coverings that have hardened with age tend to suffer most.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Splits, cracks and crazing
Take an older house close to Church of St Barnabas: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
