Weedon Flat Roof Survey
Get a clear view of the flat roof at a property in Weedon. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
How a flat roof survey works in Weedon
We inspect a flat roof from wherever it can safely be seen: on the roof where it’s safe, from windows and higher ground, and from the rooms below where we can reach them. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on. If part of the roof can’t be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so you know exactly what was covered. We survey single-ply membranes, felt flat roofs and upstands and outlets, and the problems we are asked to look at most are blistering in felt or asphalt and edge trims that have lifted or split.
Some older homes in villages like Weedon 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Local flat roofs in Weedon
Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Old School Room Chapel, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Old School Room Chapel, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Parts of the roof that are not safe to walk on or view
- An exact number of years the roof has left

Prices for flat roof surveys in Weedon
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What made you get in touch
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Weedon 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, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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’s access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
Book a survey

Common roof problems in Weedon
Flat roofs swing between hot and cold more than most parts of a building. This constant movement works at laps, seams and board joints, and in time it can open up splits and cracks. Older coverings that have lost their flexibility are the most likely to suffer.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.
Before booking any roof surveyor

- Is VAT included in the price?

FAQs for Weedon
How do I find out if my home in Weedon 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.
Will you come out to Weedon?
Yes. Weedon is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Will this cover the whole house?
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.
Do you give a life expectancy for the roof?
We don’t give a fixed number of years, because so much depends on upkeep, exposure and workmanship. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
What happens next?
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.
