About our flat roof survey in Wallington
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. If you’ve noticed standing water left after rain and blisters and bubbles in the covering, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Flat roofs in smaller places like Wallington can be more exposed, particularly where nothing shelters them, so wind catches loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away. Standing water that lingers for days after rain is another sign worth watching for.
If any part of the flat roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What we look for on each type of roof
Mastic asphalt
Without seams, asphalt tends to fail through cracking and at its skirtings. We record any crazing or splits and where water may be getting in.
Single-ply membranes
Many offices, units and newer flats have a single-ply PVC or TPO roof. We check the welded laps, the edges, the fixings and any punctures.
FAQs for Wallington
Does being near the coast affect roofs in Wallington?
Generally, yes: wind and salt air take more of a toll near the sea. Exposed details like ridges, verges, flashings and metal fixings are the ones to watch.
Do you cover smaller places like Wallington?
Yes, Wallington is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Can you survey a flat roof on an office or unit?
Yes. Offices, units, shops and blocks of flats are all part of our work. We quote bigger roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address.
Can you tell me how long my flat roof will last?
We don’t put a figure on it. As a guide, felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM frequently 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30, but the report tells you how your roof is really doing.
How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Wallington?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why get it checked now?
By the time a flat roof leak shows indoors, water has already passed through the roof build-up. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, so you can plan the work rather than react to it. Around Wallington, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Anything about access we should know
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Make sure new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
- Note the date and type of any roof work
If you’re 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.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.

Flat and commercial roofs around Wallington
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Wallington, and being near the sea means more wind and salt than a roof inland would face. Coastal wind works at the edges of flat roofs, and salt air wears metal trims and fixings. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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.
If you look after a building like Wykeham House School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you own a rental within reach of Fareham station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Homes around Wallington frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- 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’s access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking 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
