Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Tyler's Green
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats often sit under large flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. We record the condition with photographs so work can be planned and budgeted. Commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. Typical surveys look at blisters and bubbles in the covering and water getting in at rooflights, across upstands and outlets, felt flat roofs and GRP fibreglass.
In a village or hamlet like Tyler's Green, flat roofs are normally on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. 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 ahead of time. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when you book.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to.

Flat roof surveys in Tyler's Green: local notes
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. With Titsey Place about 3.9 miles north-east, Tyler's Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For landlords with property near Caterham station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Anyone responsible for a site like Godstone Village School will know that a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Tyler's Green is about 2 miles south-east of Caterham, in Surrey. We carry out flat roof surveys for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Tyler's Green and nearby. Across Surrey, we cover Tyler's Green and the places around it. You can also see our page for Crawley.

When to book a survey in Tyler's Green
Every flat roof covering has a working life. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, though workmanship and upkeep make a big difference. We can tell you how your roof is doing, whatever its age.
Problems we come across often include:
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Outlets that hold water back
Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Why get it checked now?
Most flat roofs are out of sight, so they’re easy to forget. Owners frequently learn the roof is at the end of its life only when it leaks. Regular surveys mean it will not come as a surprise. In a place like Tyler's Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Why book with us
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Plain-English reports with photos

How the survey works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Tyler's Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- You get a report with photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

What else we do in Tyler's Green
Landlord and commercial surveys in Tyler's Green

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Tyler's Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tyler's Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Tyler's Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Tyler's Green?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
We check the whole roof, since water can travel before it shows inside. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. If the cause cannot be seen, we will say so and suggest what would help.
How fast do I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Do you survey commercial flat roofs?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on commercial buildings as well as homes. Expect about 3 to 4 hours on site for most commercial roofs, and larger roofs are quoted for their size.
How do you inspect a flat roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. Otherwise we use windows, vantage points and the spaces below, and the report says if any part couldn’t be seen. Fragile surfaces are never walked on.
Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply PVC and TPO membranes are common on commercial roofs and newer buildings. The survey looks at welded seams, edges, fixings and signs of damage.
Rooflights and upstands
Rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. We view them from safe positions and photograph what we see.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Book a survey every few years
You get the report by email and can pass it to a roofer, your solicitor, the seller or your managing agent. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo, so anyone reading it can see what we saw.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and remind them never to step on rooflights or fragile sheets.
