About our flat roof survey in Shalden Green
If the house you’re 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. Our report records the covering, how it is holding up and any defects we can see, with a photo of every defect. You then have something specific to put to the seller or agent. We survey GRP fibreglass, mastic asphalt and felt flat roofs, and people most often book us about damaged trims at the roof edge and signs of deflection in the roof deck.
Some older homes in villages like Shalden Green are listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Height and safe access
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Shalden Green questions
Will you come out to Shalden Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is Shalden Green in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
Felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes are all part of the work. The report names the covering and explains its condition.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
How do I book a survey in Shalden Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is checked. If the cause cannot be seen, we’ll say so and suggest what would help.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
We do not test for asbestos. Where a roof has materials that might contain asbestos, like old cement sheeting, the report flags them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
What we can’t see
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- Fragile surfaces, which we don’t walk on
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Upstands and outlets

Useful tips for Shalden Green property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Book a survey every few years
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. You might ask for work to be done before completion, or discuss the price, depending on what we found.
Try not to let a flat roof become a walkway. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
When to book a survey in Shalden Green
The surface of a flat roof heats up and cools down far more than the rooms below. This constant movement works at laps, seams and board joints, and in time it can open up splits and cracks. Coverings that have hardened with age tend to suffer most.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Pools of water lying on the roof
If you own a rental within reach of Alton station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Before you book any roof surveyor

The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In a small place like Shalden 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. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
