Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Picket Twenty
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Once you know the covering and its condition, planning the next step is far easier. If you’ve noticed upstands pulling away from walls and failed seals around rooflight kerbs, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Picket Twenty are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and built-up roofs
On felt, the upstands and edge details frequently fail before the main surface. Every upstand and edge is looked at, with photos of any that have lifted or cracked.
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. We record any we can see, with photos.

What a flat roof survey does not cover
Every survey has limits, and it is better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- Fragile surfaces, which we don’t walk on
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos

Surveys for landlords and agents in Picket Twenty

An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Common roof problems in Picket Twenty
Buyers often book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Owners and managing agents use a survey to plan upkeep, or ahead of a sale or a new lease. Either way, you get a clear record of the roof, with photographs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Standing water left after rain
- Cracked or split membrane
If you live in an older home near United Reformed Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In a small place like Picket Twenty, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
