About our flat roof survey in Stubbings
Buying a home with a flat-roofed extension, dormer or garage? It’s useful to know that roof’s condition before you exchange. Many felt roofs need renewing after around 15 to 20 years, and EPDM and GRP often go on for longer. Our report records the covering, how it’s holding up and any defects we can see, with a photo of every defect. You then have something specific to put to the seller or agent. If you’re worried about cracked or split membrane and blisters and bubbles in the covering, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Stubbings, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Stubbings: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Stubbings is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stubbings?
Yes, Stubbings is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Can you tell me how long my flat roof will last?
We do not give a fixed number of years, because it depends on upkeep, weather and how the roof was laid. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.

What else we do in Stubbings
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. You stay in control of who does the work and when.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.
Flat and commercial roofs around Stubbings
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. Harleyford Manor, about 2.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stubbings. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For landlords with property near Furze Platt station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. James the Less, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

How the survey changes by roof type
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. We record any we can see, with photos.
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.
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Around Stubbings, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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 safely be seen.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
