Shedfield Flat Roof Survey
Wondering about the flat roof at a property in Shedfield? We carry out flat roof surveys in Shedfield and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Loose or cracked edge trims
When to book a survey in Shedfield
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. Where trees are close by, leaves and silt can block an outlet within a single autumn.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Outlets that hold water back
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Upstands pulling away from walls
Landlords with a home close to Botley station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their report turnaround times
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Shedfield
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can mean the falls were never right, an outlet is blocked or the deck has started to sag. The survey notes any ponding, the state of each outlet and any dips that hint at a sagging deck. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we will recommend a structural engineer. We survey felt flat roofs, GRP fibreglass and mastic asphalt, and the problems we are asked to look at most are leaks around rooflights and cracked or split membrane.
Somewhere as small as Shedfield, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Shedfield
Will you come out to Shedfield?
Yes. Shedfield is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Shedfield is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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 survey commercial flat roofs?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. Expect about 3 to 4 hours on site for most commercial roofs, and larger roofs are quoted for their size.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years.
Flat and commercial roofs around Shedfield
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Take a building like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Shedfield
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
What we do, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Shedfield frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Booking is simple: just call 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.

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.
EPDM rubber
Rubber roofs can shrink back from their edges or lift where the adhesive has failed. We record any we can see, with photos.
What this survey cannot tell you
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
