Flat roof survey in St Peter's
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it’s doing helps you plan what comes next. We survey mastic asphalt, felt flat roofs and single-ply membranes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are outlets that hold water back and raised blisters across the surface.
Around a smaller place like St Peter's, flat roofs usually cover extensions, garages and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. Knowing the covering and how it was laid tells you what to expect from it. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. It can support a request for work before completion or a conversation about price, depending on the findings.
Get splits, lifted seams and loose trims seen to while they’re small. A flat roof that’s looked after between surveys normally lasts longer.

Local flat roofs in St Peter's
St Peter's lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. The wider area around St Peter's has a long history of building, with Quex Park about 4.2 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building like Dane Court Grammar School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear. For hotels and guest houses around St Peter's, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest.

Why get it checked now?
Flat roofs can’t normally be seen from the street, so they’re often overlooked. Many owners only find out a roof is worn out when water comes through. Regular surveys mean it will not come as a surprise. With lower homes, common in places like St Peter's, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Every price we give includes VAT. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the flat roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Homes around St Peter's often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- 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 is 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.
Getting ready for the survey

Advice
Roof by roof
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs are laid as a resin and glass-fibre layer over boards. The survey checks for cracking at board joints, at the edge trims and where the roof meets walls.
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. Any we find are noted and photographed.
