Flat roof survey in Wexham Court: what you get
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge trims. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it’s doing helps you plan what comes next. We survey felt flat roofs, single-ply membranes and mastic asphalt, and people most often book us about signs of deflection in the roof deck and damaged trims at the roof edge.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Wexham Court take more wind and rain, so edges, upstands and laps take a beating. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, usually show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
If any part of the flat roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes can be damaged by foot traffic and equipment on the roof. We note any punctures, tears and loose areas we can see.
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs can last up to about 30 years when they’re laid well. Cracking where boards meet or where the deck moves is a common early sign of trouble.

How we price flat roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The roof’s overall size
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. Most often it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and every wet spell adds to the wear. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. In a place like Wexham Court, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Wexham Court, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We check the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Questions from Wexham Court
Is Wexham Court in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wexham Court as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Wexham Court listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is looked at. If the cause cannot be seen, we’ll say so and suggest what would help.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
It depends on what’s safe: the roof itself where that is safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
There’s no honest way to give an exact number of years. Typical ranges are around 15 to 20 years for felt, 30 to 50 for EPDM and up to about 30 for GRP, but the report tells you how your roof is really doing.
Flat roofs in Wexham Court
Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. Windsor Castle, about 3.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wexham Court. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Slough station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. If you look after a building such as Wexham School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
What we are asked to look at in Wexham Court
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. Over the years, coverings harden, crack and start to come away at the edges. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Outlets that hold water back
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Leaks around rooflights
- Loose or cracked edge trims
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mary: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
