How a flat roof survey works in Wexham Street
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey single-ply membranes, upstands and outlets and felt flat roofs, and people most often book us about raised blisters across the surface and signs of deflection in the roof deck.
In a small place like Wexham Street, a flat roof can stand in the open, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. 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. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
Landlords, owners and managing agents can keep the report as a dated record of the roof. It helps when planning maintenance budgets, and it makes changes easy to spot at the next survey.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after any work that goes through it. You will spot changes early and have a record to look back on.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply membranes
Plant, fixings and foot traffic can all damage a single-ply roof. We note any punctures, tears and loose areas we can see.
Felt and built-up roofs
On felt, the upstands and edge details often fail before the main surface. We check each one and photograph any that have split or pulled away.

How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older rural homes like those around Wexham Street can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Leave side gates unlocked

Advice
When to book a survey in Wexham Street
Buyers often book after their home survey suggests a closer look at a flat roof. Owners and managing agents use a survey to plan upkeep, or ahead of a sale or a new lease. In each case, the report gives a written, photographed record of the roof’s condition.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Cracked or split membrane
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
For businesses in and around places such as The Pavilions, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Will the report include photos?
Questions from Wexham Street
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wexham Street?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Wexham Street as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wexham Street?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Why act early in Wexham Street
A survey can show whether a whole new roof is needed or whether the problems are in a few places. At times the trouble is a handful of failed details, and at times the whole covering is worn. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. Around Wexham Street, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

Flat and commercial roofs around Wexham Street
About 4.3 miles south lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Wexham Street has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Khalsa Secondary Academy, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church Centre, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
