About our flat roof survey in Stubbington
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: from the roof itself where that’s safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there’s access. We don’t walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. If part of the roof cannot be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so the limits of the survey are clear. We’re often asked to look into standing water left after rain and blistering in felt or asphalt, across mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber and single-ply membranes.
In smaller places like Stubbington, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. They’re small, but a leak over a kitchen extension can do a lot of harm. What it’s 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 Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

When to book a survey in Stubbington
Many flat roof problems start at the details rather than the main surface. Upstands, trims, outlets and rooflight kerbs each move and weather in their own way. Where they weren’t finished well, they tend to fail before anything else.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Standing water left after rain
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Whether the price includes VAT
Your questions about flat roof surveys in Stubbington
Is my home in Stubbington listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Stubbington?
Often, yes. Stubbington is within about 1 mile of the sea, and coastal roofs tend to see faster wear on metal parts and more wind lifting loose pieces.
How do you inspect a flat roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: the roof itself where that is safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
How much does a flat roof survey cost in Stubbington?
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and water that sits wears the covering sooner. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
Do you cover Stubbington for flat roof surveys?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Stubbington included.
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
The survey, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a smaller place like Stubbington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We check the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- The findings are written up with photos and recommendations and emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Let us know about parking near the property

Flat roofs in Stubbington
Stubbington lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Take a building like Crofton Anne Dale Junior School: a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after.
