Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Twineham Green
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets 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. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. If you’ve noticed blistering in felt or asphalt and ponding water that doesn’t drain away, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on EPDM rubber, felt flat roofs and mastic asphalt alike.
Somewhere as small as Twineham Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Flat roof surveys around Twineham Green
About 3.8 miles north-east lies Ockenden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Twineham Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. Take a building like Twineham CofE Primary School: ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you let a flat or house near Burgess Hill station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Twineham Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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 is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Questions from Twineham Green
Is Twineham Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Twineham Green?
We can’t 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.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?
No. It’s a survey of the flat roof. It isn’t a RICS Level 2 or 3 survey of the whole building, and it is not a structural engineer’s report. Many buyers use it alongside a building survey.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
We do not give a fixed number of years, because it depends on upkeep, weather and how the roof was laid. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
How much does a flat roof survey cost in Twineham Green?

What else we do in Twineham Green
What a flat roof survey does not cover
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Mastic asphalt
- GRP fibreglass
- EPDM rubber
- Upstands and outlets
- Single-ply membranes
- Felt flat roofs
Different roofs, different checks
Mastic asphalt
Mastic asphalt is a heavy, seamless covering often found on older blocks, balconies and commercial roofs. We look for crazing, cracks, blisters and splits at the skirtings.
GRP fibreglass
GRP can crack if the deck beneath flexes or if the resin was laid too thin. Our report notes cracks and any sign that the deck is flexing.
Useful tips for Twineham Green property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. A flat roof that is looked after between surveys usually lasts longer.
Why get it checked now?
Flat roofs can’t normally be seen from the street, so they’re often overlooked. Many owners only find out a roof is worn out when water comes through. A survey every few years stops that from catching you out. Around Twineham Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
