Flat roof survey in South Park, Surrey
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings in South Park, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
You get the report by email and can pass it to a roofer, your solicitor, the seller or your managing agent. It’s written in plain English, with a photo of each defect, so anyone reading it can see what we saw.
Keep outlets, gutters and hoppers clear, particularly after the leaves fall. A flat roof that drains well wears much more slowly.
How a flat roof survey works in South Park
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats often sit under large flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. We record the condition with photos so work can be planned and budgeted. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. We survey upstands and outlets, EPDM rubber and single-ply membranes, and people most frequently book us about blocked or damaged outlets and edge trims that have lifted or split.
In smaller places like South Park, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let plenty of water into the room below. What it’s covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. Ponding, splits and lifting edges are the signs to look for from a window.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Questions from South Park
Do you carry out roof surveys in South Park?
Yes, South Park is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Do you cover smaller places like South Park?
Yes, South Park is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. Expect about 3 to 4 hours on site for most commercial roofs, with larger roofs quoted on their size.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It frequently means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and it wears the covering faster. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to a smaller place like South Park is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- You get a written report with photos and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Advice
Do you need a flat roof survey in South Park?
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.
Problems we come across often include:
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- A sagging deck under the covering
Take a building like Sandcross Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
What to check before booking
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- When you will get the report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
What affects the price in South Park
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The roof’s overall size
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- The address and postcode of the property
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.

What a flat roof survey looks like in South Park
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
For businesses in and around places such as The Belfry, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. If you own a rental within reach of Reigate station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
South Park is about 1 mile south of Reigate, in Surrey. If you’re in South Park, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. We cover towns and villages across Surrey, large and small. There’s also a page for Crawley.
