Your questions about flat roof surveys in Weavers Down
Is Weavers Down within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Weavers Down?
Yes, Weavers Down is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Ponding is worth looking into. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and it wears the covering faster. Our survey notes the ponding and what seems to be causing it.
Is a flat roof survey the same as a building survey?
No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and it is not a structural engineer’s report.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
We do not test for asbestos. If we see materials that could contain it, such as cement sheets on a building from before 2000, we flag them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
Flat roof survey in Weavers Down: what you get
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photographs and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We’re often asked to look into outlets that hold water back and splits and cracks in the covering, on GRP fibreglass, single-ply membranes and upstands and outlets.
Some older homes in villages like Weavers Down are 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the flat roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
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.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Weavers Down, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Advice
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Turnaround is within 48 hours for a Basic Survey, 24 to 48 hours for a Standard Survey and the same day for a Premium Survey.
Clear leaves and silt from outlets and gutters, above all in autumn. A flat roof that drains well wears much more slowly.
What a flat roof survey looks like in Weavers Down
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so the council is the place to ask. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. 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.
For landlords with property near Liphook station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you look after a building such as Liphook Church of England Controlled Junior School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Why act early in Weavers Down
A small split in a flat roof is usually a modest job when it is found early. Left alone, water can soak the insulation and the deck, and the job grows. Surveying it now tells you where you stand. In a place like Weavers Down, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
