What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The roof’s overall size
- Which survey package you book
- Height and safe access
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The property’s address and postcode
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
Flat roof survey in Tourner Bury: what you get
A flat roof leak frequently travels before it shows on the ceiling. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. That is why we check every detail across the roof, not only the area above the stain, with photographs of anything that could be letting water in. A roofer can then start from a clear picture of the problem. We’re often asked to look into edge trims that have lifted or split and pools of water lying on the roof, on mastic asphalt, felt flat roofs and upstands and outlets.
Older buildings in small places like Tourner Bury may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Useful tips for Tourner Bury property owners
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Look for standing water a day after rain
You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. With each roofer working from the same list, comparing quotes is simpler. It is your choice who carries out the work and when.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Around Tourner Bury, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Tourner Bury questions
Is my home in Tourner Bury listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot 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.
Is Tourner Bury within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How much does a flat roof survey cost in Tourner Bury?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t put a figure on it. As a guide, felt frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30, but the report tells you how your roof is really doing.
Do you go up onto the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. Otherwise we use windows, vantage points and the spaces below, and we note any area we couldn’t see. We don’t walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. We survey seven days a week.
What does the report include?
A report with photos, covering the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, by urgency where it matters. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Flat roofs in Tourner Bury
Tourner Bury is within about 1 mile of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. On a flat roof near the sea, edge trims and upstands take the brunt of the wind, and metal parts corrode faster. With Warblington Castle about 3.5 miles north, Tourner Bury sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Mengham Junior School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Mary's Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

- Outlets that hold water back
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs

Choosing a roof surveyor

- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long the report takes to arrive
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes can be damaged by foot traffic and equipment on the roof. We note any punctures, tears and loose areas we can see.
Felt and built-up roofs
Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, depending on how they were laid and looked after. We record how yours is doing and where it is weakest.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
