Flat roof survey in Upper Eddington
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats often sit under large flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so it helps if you ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. Common reasons to book are standing water left after rain and raised blisters across the surface, across felt flat roofs, single-ply membranes and upstands and outlets.
Somewhere as small as Upper Eddington, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

FAQs for Upper Eddington
How do I find out if my home in Upper Eddington is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Upper Eddington in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Upper Eddington is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
How do you inspect a flat roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: on the roof where it is safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?
No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
What a flat roof survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Whether old sheeting or boards contain asbestos
- Fragile surfaces, which we don’t walk on
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

Flat and commercial roofs around Upper Eddington
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you look after a building such as Hungerford Primary School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you let a flat or house near Hungerford station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For an older house near a landmark such as Hungerford Methodist Church, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.

Useful tips for Upper Eddington property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
If you are buying, the report gives you something specific to take back to the seller or agent. You might ask for work to be done before completion, or discuss the price, depending on the findings.
Book a survey every few years, and again after new fixings, units or rooflights go in. You’ll spot changes early and have a record to look back on.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes about 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Somewhere like Upper Eddington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We look at the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Why act early in Upper Eddington
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. In a small place like Upper Eddington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
