How a flat roof survey works in Pizien Well
Water through a flat roof doesn’t always come in where the stain is. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, with photographs of anything that could be letting water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. We survey single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are blistering in felt or asphalt and outlets that hold water back.
Somewhere as small as Pizien Well, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Pizien Well
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Pizien Well
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 people who use the building. In a small place like Pizien Well, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Why book with us
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Every finding written up with photos
- Packages from £150, with VAT included
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. It can support a request for work before completion or a conversation about price, depending on what we found.
Try not to let a flat roof become a walkway. Where someone does need access, ask them to use boards or a protected route, and remind them never to step on rooflights or fragile sheets.
How it works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Pizien Well needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We check the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Note where any stains or damp appear

What a flat roof survey looks like in Pizien Well
The wider area around Pizien Well has a long history of building, with Old Soar Manor about 3.5 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. For landlords with property near Wateringbury station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Anyone responsible for a site like Wateringbury Church of England Primary School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Is Pizien Well in the area you cover?
Yes, Pizien Well is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Pizien Well?
Yes. Pizien Well is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you go up onto the roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: on the roof where it’s safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details as you book.
