- Blocked or damaged outlets

Flat roof survey in Upper Enham: what you get
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Once you know the covering and its condition, planning the next step is far easier. Typical surveys look at gaps at upstands and abutments and failed seals around rooflight kerbs, across single-ply membranes, mastic asphalt and upstands and outlets.
Older buildings in small places like Upper Enham may be listed or in a conservation area, which can shape what a new flat roof may look like. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Flat roof surveys around Upper Enham
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. 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. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Take an older house close to Saint George: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Take a building like Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. Landlords with a home close to Andover station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.

Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Areas we can’t see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a village or hamlet like Upper Enham, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?

How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Upper Enham?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
Why act early in Upper Enham
Before replacing a flat roof, it is useful to know if you really need to. Sometimes a few details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Enham, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
For a price for your roof in Upper Enham, ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

What else we do in Upper Enham
Roof by roof
Single-ply membranes
Plant, fixings and foot traffic can all damage a single-ply roof. Any tears, punctures or loose membrane are recorded with photos.
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.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
