How a flat roof survey works in Shepperton Green
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. If you’ve noticed outlets that hold water back and standing water left after rain, we can find out what’s behind it, on GRP fibreglass, upstands and outlets and single-ply membranes alike.
Around a smaller place like Shepperton Green, flat roofs normally cover extensions, garages and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. What it is covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Before replacing a flat roof, it helps to know if you really need to. At times the trouble is a handful of failed details, and at times the whole covering is worn. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. Around Shepperton Green, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why us?
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a smaller place like Shepperton Green, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know about parking near the property

Flat roofs in Shepperton Green
There are several hotels within about a mile and a half of Shepperton Green. If you look after one, a leak through a flat roof can put a room out of use. Historic houses such as Botleys Mansion, about 3.6 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Shepperton Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary Magdalene, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Take a building like Saxon Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

What else we do in Shepperton Green
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, giving you a chance to go through what we found.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. Where someone does need access, ask them to use boards or a protected route, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
How we price flat roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Anything about access we should know
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and built-up roofs
Many extensions, garages and dormers have a felt roof laid in layers. We look for blistering, cracking, split laps and worn mineral surfacing.
GRP fibreglass
A GRP fibreglass roof is a hard, resin-bonded surface over a timber deck. We look for cracks at board joints, around trims and at upstands.
Common roof problems in Shepperton Green
People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: to clean windows, fit aerials or air conditioning units, or reach a gutter. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. Fixings added through the covering often start leaks too.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Leaks around rooflights
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Outlets that hold water back
If you own a rental within reach of Shepperton station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
