Flat roof survey in Quidhampton: what you get
If the house you are buying has a flat roof on an extension, dormer or garage, it’s worth knowing its condition before exchange. Many felt roofs need renewing after around 15 to 20 years, and EPDM and GRP often go on for longer. We set out the type of covering, its condition and the defects we found, with a photo of every defect. You then have something specific to put to the seller or agent. Common reasons to book are blisters and bubbles in the covering and dips that suggest the deck is deflecting, on single-ply membranes, felt flat roofs and EPDM rubber.
In a village or hamlet like Quidhampton, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when you book.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Quidhampton
Water that does not drain sits on the roof and speeds up wear. Blocked outlets, poor falls and a sagging deck are the usual causes. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Loose or cracked edge trims
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What insurance they carry

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.

Why get it checked now?
For a buyer, the best time to learn about a flat roof is before contracts are exchanged. After that, the cost of any work is yours. Our report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. Around Quidhampton, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

Flat and commercial roofs around Quidhampton
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
For landlords with property near Overton station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you look after a building such as Overton Church of England Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- When you need the report by
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Quidhampton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Before and after the survey
Getting the most from a flat roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
Many people send the report to two or three roofers for quotes. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. It’s your choice who carries out the work and when.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
