Rushmoor Flat Roof Survey
Find out the condition of the flat roof at your property in Rushmoor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- A sagging deck under the covering
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Rushmoor can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that is safe.
- Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave side gates unlocked

About our flat roof survey in Rushmoor
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: on the roof where it is safe, from windows and higher ground, and from the rooms below where we can reach them. We do not walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. If part of the roof cannot be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so you know exactly what was covered. We are often asked to look into raised blisters across the surface and cracked or split membrane, on single-ply membranes, GRP fibreglass and mastic asphalt.
In a village or hamlet like Rushmoor, flat roofs are usually 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. The journey and access are planned beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
You receive the findings 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.

What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How big the roof is
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
For a price for your roof in Rushmoor, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Do you need a flat roof survey in Rushmoor?
Flat roofs frequently get walked on for other jobs: to clean windows, fit aerials or air conditioning units, or reach a gutter. Each visit can damage a covering not made for regular foot traffic. Fixings added through the covering often start leaks too.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Cracked or split membrane
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
If you own a rental within reach of Farnham station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Before booking anyone
- What insurance they carry
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Will the report include photos?
What we cannot see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak in future
- Parts of the roof that are not safe to walk on or view
- Whether old sheeting or boards contain asbestos
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

Flat roof surveys in Rushmoor: local notes
Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. About 4.8 miles north-west lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Rushmoor has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Rushmoor is about 4 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. Rushmoor is one of many places we visit across Surrey, for homes and businesses alike. Across Surrey, we cover Rushmoor. Guildford is in our area too.
We cover every part of GU10 for flat roof surveys. Local streets include Sandy Lane, Lowicks Road and Tilford Road, and we cover them all. Close by, we survey roofs in Tilford Common (1 mile north), Pitch Place (1 mile south-east), Crosswater (1 mile south-west), Thursley (2 miles east) and Green Cross (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Guildford (10 miles north-east), Woking (13 miles north-east), Camberley (12 miles north), Farnham (4 miles north-west), Frimley (11 miles north) and Haslemere (5 miles south).
Around Rushmoor
Typical jobs here are in homes near Bel And The Dragon-Churt pub and The Flashes and the streets around them. Rushmoor’s nearest station is Farnham station, about 4.2 miles north-west of the centre. A little further out are Haslemere and District Hospital (4.9 miles south) and Farnham Castle (4.8 miles north-west). Open spaces near Rushmoor include Gibbet Hill and Upper Lake.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.

Different roofs, different checks
Mastic asphalt
Mastic asphalt is a heavy, seamless covering often found on older blocks, balconies and commercial roofs. We look for crazing, cracks, blisters and splits at the skirtings.
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.
Common questions in Rushmoor
Is Rushmoor within the area you cover?
Yes, Rushmoor is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is my home in Rushmoor listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?
No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
How do you inspect a flat roof?
It depends on what’s safe: the roof itself where that is safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the flat roof, any defects and our recommendations. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed.
