Flat roof survey in Trotton Marsh: what you get
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. You get a report with photos and our recommendations. We’re often asked to look into damaged trims at the roof edge and a sagging deck under the covering, across upstands and outlets, felt flat roofs and EPDM rubber.
Some older homes in villages like Trotton Marsh are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In a hamlet or village like Trotton Marsh, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, 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 start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that is safe.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Where there’s safe access, we look at the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations and emailed to you.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets in another room

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Trotton Marsh
Flat roofs often get walked on for other jobs: to clean windows, fit aerials or air conditioning units, or reach a gutter. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. Fixings added through the covering frequently start leaks too.
Common reasons to book include:
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Standing water left after rain
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
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.
Check the roof from a window after a downpour. If water is still there a day or two later, have it checked.
What a flat roof survey doesn’t cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

What a flat roof survey looks like in Trotton Marsh
Cowdray House, about 4.2 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Trotton Marsh. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.

Why it is worth a survey now in Trotton Marsh
Caught early, a split or open seam in a flat roof is often a small repair. Leave it, and water can get into the insulation and deck, which can turn a patch into a replacement. A survey now shows which you’re dealing with. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Trotton Marsh, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
