Flat Roof Survey in Temple Valley
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings for Temple Valley and the rest of Hampshire. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Loose or cracked edge trims
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
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.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after any work that goes through it. You’ll spot changes early and have a record to look back on.
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Temple Valley
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so it helps if you phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. If you are worried about upstands pulling away from walls and pools of water lying on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Temple Valley, a flat roof can stand in the open, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, usually show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Temple Valley
People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. Each visit can damage a covering not made for regular foot traffic. Fixings added through the covering frequently start leaks too.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Cracked or split membrane
If you own a rental within reach of Winchester station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

What affects the price in Temple Valley
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

What we can’t see
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book. What our survey covers.

Flat and commercial roofs around Temple Valley
Historic houses like Hinton Ampner House, about 4.2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Temple Valley goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Rural addresses near Temple Valley can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We look at the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.

Advice
Common questions in Temple Valley
How do I find out if my home in Temple Valley is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Temple Valley?
Yes, Temple Valley is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Should I worry about standing water on my flat roof?
Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It frequently means a blocked outlet, poor falls or a dipping deck, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
