What a flat roof survey looks like in West Green
About 4.6 miles north-west lies Stratfield Saye House, a reminder of how long the area around West Green has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For landlords with property near Winchfield station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks.
West Green is about 4 miles north-west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Surveys in West Green work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Our Hampshire coverage includes West Green. We also survey roofs in Reading.

How a flat roof survey works in West Green
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. We cover felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply roofs. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. We survey upstands and outlets, felt flat roofs and GRP fibreglass, and people most frequently book us about blistering in felt or asphalt and signs of deflection in the roof deck.
Older buildings in small places like West Green may be listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. Check with the council before planning any change of material. Knowing the roof’s condition is the starting point. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like West Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know 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.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in West Green
Water that doesn’t drain sits on the roof and speeds up wear. It typically comes from poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that has dipped. Where trees are close by, leaves and silt can block an outlet within a single autumn.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
Anyone responsible for a site like Greenfields Junior School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

West Green: your questions answered
Is West Green in the area you cover?
Yes, West Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like West Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, 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.
Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?
Standing water a day or two after rain normally needs attention. It could be the outlets, the falls or a deflecting deck. The survey looks at each and records the likely cause.
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. We will talk about access when you book.
Surveys for landlords and agents in West Green

With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How we price flat roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
- What kind of property and roof it is
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Why it is worth a survey now in West Green
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. It typically points to an outlet, the falls or a sagging deck, and every wet spell adds to the wear. Finding the cause now keeps more options open. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
