Why it’s worth a survey now in Tadley
On a commercial building, a flat roof leak can disrupt tenants, staff and stock. Surveying the roof in good time means work can be planned and budgeted around the business. Around Tadley, gutters that overflow soak the wall below. At roof level, a loose tile or tired flashing does the same. Left alone, both only get worse.

Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Tadley
Water through a flat roof doesn’t always come in where the stain is. It can run along the deck from a split, an open lap or a failed upstand some distance away. That is why we check every detail across the roof, not only the area above the stain, and photograph anything that could let water in. A roofer can then start from a clear picture of the problem. We survey GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damaged trims at the roof edge and outlets that hold water back.
In a town like Tadley, a good many shops, schools and business units have flat roofs. Out of sight, they tend to be forgotten until a leak appears. A survey, or electronic testing where the membrane suits it, shows what’s going on. Tell us who manages the building so access to the roof can be arranged.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Flat roof surveys around Tadley
Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Tadley goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
Take a building like Bishopswood Junior School: a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For landlords with property near Midgham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Common questions in Tadley
How do I find out if my home in Tadley 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.
What do I need to do before a survey in Tadley?
Mostly, it is about access: the loft hatch, any locked gates and where to park in Tadley. Tell us about known leaks or past repairs as well.
Do you cover Tadley for flat roof surveys?
Yes, we do. We carry out flat roof surveys in Tadley, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. You’ll then get the report by email.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. A survey in Tadley needs access inside and out, including the loft hatch and any rooms with damp. Mention gates, side passages and anything at the back. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.

Advice
Signs you need a flat roof survey in Tadley
A flat roof lies open to sun, rain and frost, and water drains off it slowly. Over the years, coverings harden, crack and start to come away at the edges. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Outlets that hold water back
The streets around a church such as Saint Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
