Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Turville Heath

Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. We cover felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply roofs. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. If you’ve noticed cracked or split membrane and raised blisters across the surface, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on single-ply membranes, upstands and outlets and mastic asphalt alike.

In a small place like Turville Heath, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which frequently last around 15–20 years, typically show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.

You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Is Turville Heath within the area you cover?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you survey commercial flat roofs?

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Turville Heath

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 often start leaks too.

A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:

  • Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
  • Standing water left after rain
  • Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
  • Blocked or damaged outlets

Around Turville Heath, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

What a good roof survey covers

Local flat roofs in Turville Heath

Stonor Park, about 1 mile south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Turville Heath. If your house is among the older ones, 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. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.

Turville Heath is about 7 miles west of Marlow, in Oxfordshire. Wherever you are in Turville Heath, we can come and survey your property. Across Oxfordshire, we cover Turville Heath. We also survey roofs in Reading.

Checking the roof from ground level

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.

Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.

Why act early in Turville Heath

A leak over an office, shop or unit can affect the people and stock underneath. A planned survey lets you budget for work rather than deal with an emergency around the people who use the building. In a small place like Turville Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Why book with us

  • Package prices that include VAT
  • 5,000+ roofs surveyed
  • Plain-English reports with photos
  • Over 20 years’ experience

How the survey changes by roof type

EPDM rubber

EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane, frequently laid in a single sheet on smaller roofs. We check the laps, the edges, the corners and any punctures.

Mastic asphalt

Without seams, asphalt tends to fail through cracking and at its skirtings. Our report notes crazing, cracks and any likely entry points.

How the survey works

The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the flat roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Turville Heath, 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.

  1. You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
  2. Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
  3. The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
  4. We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
  5. The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored under the loft hatch
  • If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
  • Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
