Flat roof survey in Upper Eashing
Standing water is one of the first things we look for on a flat roof. It can point to poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that is deflecting. We record where water sits, check the outlets and look for dips that suggest deflection. If the deck itself looks like a structural concern, we’ll recommend a structural engineer. Common reasons to book are blistering in felt or asphalt and outlets that hold water back, on single-ply membranes, GRP fibreglass and upstands and outlets.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Upper Eashing take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, usually show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need a flat roof survey in Upper Eashing?
Buyers often book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Building owners and managing agents book to plan maintenance, or before a sale or a new lease. In each case, the report gives a written, photographed record of the roof’s condition.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Cracked or split membrane
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Outlets that hold water back
Anyone responsible for a site like St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will the report include photos?
- Are they insured for the work?

The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Upper Eashing, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You tell us about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- 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 photo-illustrated written report and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
Flat roofs in Upper Eashing
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises. With Loseley Park about 2.7 miles north-east, Upper Eashing sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you live in an older home near St Mark's Church and Community Centre, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear. If you own a rental within reach of Godalming station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies.

A little further out are Milford Hospital (1.4 miles south-east) and Guildford Castle (4.6 miles north-east). Not far away are Frith Hill and Lower Lake.
Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:

- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing

Questions from Upper Eashing
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Eashing?
Yes. Upper Eashing is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Upper Eashing is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. You will then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. Not sure what yours is? We will tell you in the report.
How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Upper Eashing?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
We check the covering and every detail where leaks commonly start, recording anything that could let water through. Where the source isn’t obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
What happens after the survey?
You will 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.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys

Roof by roof
Mastic asphalt
With age, asphalt can harden and crack with movement. We note where this is happening and how widespread it looks.
GRP fibreglass
GRP can crack if the deck beneath flexes or if the resin was laid too thin. We record any cracking and any signs of the deck moving.
