Wentworth Flat Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the flat roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out flat roof surveys in Wentworth.
- Leaks around rooflights
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Upstands pulling away from walls
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Flat roof survey in Wentworth
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: from the roof itself where that is safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there is access. We don’t walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. If part of the roof can’t be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so the limits of the survey are clear. We are often asked to look into ponding water that doesn’t drain away and splits and cracks in the covering, across upstands and outlets, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber.
Somewhere as small as Wentworth, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access in advance. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Wentworth
Caught early, a split or open seam in a flat roof is often a small repair. Leave it, and water can get into the insulation and deck, which can turn a patch into a replacement. A survey now shows which you are dealing with. For older village homes like those around Wentworth, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why book with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Surveys seven days a week
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Common roof problems in Wentworth
Flat roofs swing between hot and cold more than most parts of a building. This constant movement works at laps, seams and board joints, which can open splits and cracks over the years. Older coverings that have lost their flexibility are the most likely to suffer.
Problems we come across often include:
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Failed seals around rooflight kerbs
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
How the survey works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. Somewhere as small as Wentworth, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We look at the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- Where there is safe access, we look at the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- The findings are written up with photographs and recommendations and emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. 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 isn’t right.

That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
