About our flat roof survey in Warnborough Green
A flat roof leak often travels before it shows on the ceiling. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, and photograph anything that could let water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. We survey GRP fibreglass, upstands and outlets and felt flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or cracked edge trims and failed upstands where the roof meets a wall.
Some older homes in villages like Warnborough Green are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you are planning work, check with the council first. 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 records the flat roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Flat and commercial roofs around Warnborough Green
Older buildings may be listed or sit 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. 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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary the Virgin: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. If you let a flat or house near Hook station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Warnborough Green
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.
Common reasons to book include:
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert May's School, schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether the price includes VAT
Surveys for landlords and agents in Warnborough Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof, with photographs, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older rural homes like those around Warnborough Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We check the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- Every part of the roof we can see is looked at: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

For a buyer, the best time to learn about a flat roof is before contracts are exchanged. After that, the cost of any work is yours. Our report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. In a place like Warnborough Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Questions from Warnborough Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Warnborough Green?
Yes, Warnborough Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Warnborough Green is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What do I do with the report?
You will receive the report 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.
Is a flat roof survey the same as a building survey?
No. It is a closer look at the flat roof, not a survey of the whole property. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. If not, we use safe viewpoints and look inside, and we note any area we couldn’t see. Fragile surfaces are never walked on.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Different roofs, different checks
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt has no laps, so its weak points are cracks and the skirtings at walls and upstands. Our report notes crazing, cracks and any likely entry points.
Rooflights and upstands
Rooflights, lanterns and upstands are where many flat roof leaks begin. We check the seals and the covering around each one.
