Questions from Pyrford Green
Is my home in Pyrford Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Pyrford Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
We don’t put a figure on it. As a guide, felt frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30, but your report describes the actual condition.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
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. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Pyrford Green
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. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. We are often asked to look into splits, cracks and crazing and ponding water that doesn’t drain away, across upstands and outlets, felt flat roofs and EPDM rubber.
In a village or hamlet like Pyrford Green, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access ahead of time. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Flat and commercial roofs around Pyrford Green
Historic houses such as Byfleet Manor, about 1.7 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Pyrford Green goes. 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. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Landlords with a home close to West Byfleet station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks. Take an older house close to St Nicholas's Church: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In a small place like Pyrford Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- 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 is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and built-up roofs
A felt roof often lasts around 15 to 20 years, though quality and upkeep make a big difference. Our report sets out its condition and the areas most at risk.
GRP fibreglass
GRP can crack if the deck beneath flexes or if the resin was laid too thin. We record any cracking and any signs of the deck moving.
Why act early in Pyrford Green
If you are buying, find out about the flat roof before you exchange. After that, the cost of any work is yours. A report gives you facts to put to the seller or agent. Outbuildings and barns around Pyrford Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Clear leaves and silt from outlets and gutters, above all in autumn. A flat roof that drains well wears much more slowly.
