About our flat roof survey in Upper Clatford
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. You get a written report with photographs and our recommendations. We survey upstands and outlets, mastic asphalt and felt flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are outlets choked with leaves and silt and a sagging deck under the covering.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Clatford, flat roofs are usually 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 in advance. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
What a flat roof survey doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- The condition of the deck or insulation hidden under the covering
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Common roof problems in Upper Clatford
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. Over the years, coverings harden, crack and start to come away at the edges. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
For landlords with property near Andover station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
What to check before booking
- What experience they bring
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Is VAT included in the price?
What happens if roof problems are left?
Caught early, a split or open seam in a flat roof is frequently a small repair. Leave it, and water can get into the insulation and deck, which can turn a patch into a replacement. Surveying it now tells you where you stand. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Clatford can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we will tell you which fits.

Common questions in Upper Clatford
Will you come out to Upper Clatford?
Yes. Upper Clatford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you look at commercial flat roofs near Upper Clatford, such as hotels?
Yes, commercial flat roofs are part of what we cover. For a bigger roof, you’ll get a quote based on the building, and roof access is agreed with you before the visit.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We will rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll get the report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know as you book.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Local flat roofs in Upper Clatford
Upper Clatford has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half. For hotels and other commercial buildings, finding the cause of a flat roof leak quickly keeps rooms in use. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Balksbury Junior School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. For a village or hamlet like Upper Clatford, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
