How a flat roof survey works in Titchfield
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge 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. If you’ve noticed signs of deflection in the roof deck and outlets choked with leaves and silt, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Titchfield are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What a flat roof survey looks like in Titchfield
Titchfield is within about 2 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. 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.
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. If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof, with photographs.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Anything about access we should know
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
When you are ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Titchfield
Will you come out to Titchfield?
Yes, Titchfield is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Titchfield?
Places near the sea get more wind and more salt in the air than inland, and both are hard on roofs. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access as you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Cottages and farmhouses around Titchfield often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- 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 is access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Why it is worth a survey now in Titchfield
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. Owners often learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. A survey every few years stops that from catching you out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Titchfield can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
