How a flat roof survey works in Priestwood Green
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. We cover felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply roofs. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. You get a written report with photos and our recommendations. We survey felt flat roofs, mastic asphalt and GRP fibreglass, and the problems we are asked to look at most are outlets that hold water back and cracked or split membrane.
Some older homes in villages like Priestwood Green are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Flat and commercial roofs around Priestwood Green
The wider area around Priestwood Green has a long history of building, with Cobham College about 2.9 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Anyone responsible for a site like Culverstone Green Primary School will know that a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. Landlords with a home close to Sole Street station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Priestwood Green
A buyer’s general survey often recommends 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.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Blocked or damaged outlets
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Splits and cracks in the covering
Take an older house close to Church of Our Lady of the Meadow: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.
Questions to ask before you book

Questions from Priestwood Green
Will you come out to Priestwood Green?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Do you cover Priestwood Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Does the survey cover asbestos?
We do not test for asbestos. Where a roof has materials that might contain asbestos, like old cement sheeting, the report flags them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. If you do not know what your roof is, we’ll identify it on the day.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
When you need someone else
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
- Areas we cannot see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- GRP fibreglass
- Felt flat roofs
- Single-ply membranes
- Upstands and outlets
- EPDM rubber
- Mastic asphalt
Different roofs, different checks
EPDM rubber
A rubber roof can last 30 to 50 years, provided its details were done well. Those details are where we focus.
Felt and built-up roofs
Built-up felt is one of the most common flat roof coverings on extensions, garages and dormers. We look for blistering, cracking, split laps and worn mineral surfacing.

What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Priestwood Green, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk 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.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
How to book
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
For landlords and building managers, the report is a dated record of the roof’s condition. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
