About our flat roof survey in St George's Hill
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. We cover felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply roofs. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. You get a report with photos and our recommendations. If you’ve noticed leaks around rooflights and splits, cracks and crazing, we can find out what’s behind it, on GRP fibreglass, upstands and outlets and mastic asphalt alike.
In a smaller place like St George's Hill, some flat roofs sit in the open, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away, along with water that sits after rain. Standing water that lingers for days after rain is another sign worth watching for.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How big the roof is
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- Anything about access we should know
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.

Flat roofs in St George's Hill
With Byfleet Manor about 2.2 miles south, St George's Hill sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Within a mile and a half or so of St George's Hill there are several hotels, and like offices and blocks, hotels often sit under flat roofs. If you look after one, a leak through a flat roof can put a room out of use.
Landlords with a home close to Weybridge station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Manby Lodge Infant School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Do you need a flat roof survey in St George's Hill?
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. It usually comes from poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that has dipped. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Cracked or split membrane
- Outlets that hold water back
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near St George's Hill, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like St George's Hill does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- 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.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- Fragile surfaces, which we do not walk on
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough

Common questions in St George's Hill
How do I find out if my home in St George's Hill is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like St George's Hill?
Yes. St George's Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address.
Will this cover the whole house?
No. It’s a closer look at the flat roof, not a survey of the whole property. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and it isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
Asbestos testing isn’t part of our survey. Where a roof has materials that might contain asbestos, such as old cement sheeting, the report flags them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, and we’d agree another day.
