Flat roof survey in Wells-in-the-Field
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos 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. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. Typical surveys look at blocked or damaged outlets and edge trims that have lifted or split, across GRP fibreglass, felt flat roofs and EPDM rubber.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Wells-in-the-Field take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. On an exposed roof, the edges tend to go first.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Wells-in-the-Field can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- 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
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs are laid as a resin and glass-fibre layer over boards. The survey checks for cracking at board joints, at the edge trims and where the roof meets walls.
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply relies on its welded laps staying sound. We look at seams, corners and the joints around outlets and upstands.
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The size of the roof
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to tell us when you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Local flat roofs in Wells-in-the-Field
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. 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. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you let a flat or house near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. The streets around a church such as St Nicholas' Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Common roof problems in Wells-in-the-Field
Flat roofs often get walked on for other jobs: to clean windows, fit aerials or air conditioning units, or reach a gutter. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. Fixings added through the covering often start leaks too.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Blocked or damaged outlets
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Standing water left after rain
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
Anyone responsible for a site like Whitchurch Church of England Primary School will know that a large flat roof with plenty of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.

FAQs for Wells-in-the-Field
Is my home in Wells-in-the-Field listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do you cover Wells-in-the-Field?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Wells-in-the-Field is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Does the survey cover asbestos?
Asbestos testing is not part of our survey. Where a roof has materials that might contain asbestos, such as old cement sheeting, the report flags them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are 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.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.
