Flat roof survey in Phoenix Green: what you get
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can safely be seen: from the roof itself where that is safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there’s access. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. If part of the roof can’t be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so you know exactly what was covered. We survey mastic asphalt, felt flat roofs and single-ply membranes, and people most often book us about edge trims that have lifted or split and outlets choked with leaves and silt.
Older buildings in small places like Phoenix Green may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
Many people send the report to two or three roofers for quotes. With each roofer working from the same list, comparing quotes is simpler. It is your choice who carries out the work and when.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and remind them never to step on rooflights or fragile sheets.
What we look for on each type of roof
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.
Rooflights and upstands
Rooflights, lanterns and upstands are where many flat roof leaks begin. We check the seals and the covering around each one.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
How we price flat roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where applicable, from £400 with VAT included. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
We confirm the price for the job before booking, so you know where you stand. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Questions from Phoenix Green
How do I find out if my home in Phoenix Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover Phoenix Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Phoenix Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
Asbestos testing is not part of our survey. If we see materials that could contain it, such as cement sheets on a building from before 2000, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Phoenix Green, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, tell us about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Flat and commercial roofs around Phoenix Green
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
If you let a flat or house near Winchfield station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. Anyone responsible for a site like Greenfields Junior School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- Areas we can’t see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
