Flat roof survey in Whitemans Green
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. You get a written report with photos and our recommendations. Typical surveys look at blistering in felt or asphalt and a sagging deck under the covering, across felt flat roofs, single-ply membranes and mastic asphalt.
Somewhere as small as Whitemans Green, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. The checks are the same as anywhere: the covering, the edges, the upstands and where water drains away. The journey and access are planned beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Flat roof surveys around Whitemans Green
About 0.6 miles south lies Ockenden Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Whitemans Green has been built on. If yours is one of the older homes, 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. Older houses across Sussex frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging on their upper walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Holy Trinity Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you let a flat or house near Haywards Heath station, 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 like Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
The report is emailed to you, ready to share with a roofer, the seller or a managing agent. It’s written in plain English, with a photo of each defect, so others can follow it without going up to look.
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.
Common questions in Whitemans Green
How do I find out if my home in Whitemans Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Whitemans Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Whitemans Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you go up onto the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. Otherwise we use windows, vantage points and the spaces below, and we note any area we couldn’t see. We do not walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.

What this survey can’t tell you
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A promise that the roof will not leak in future
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Why get it checked now?
On a commercial building, a flat roof leak can disrupt tenants, staff and stock. A planned survey lets you budget for work rather than deal with an emergency around the business. For an older or listed building in a place like Whitemans Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

How the survey changes by roof type
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt has no laps, so its weak points are cracks and the skirtings at walls and upstands. Our report notes crazing, cracks and any likely entry points.
GRP fibreglass
A well-laid GRP roof often lasts up to about 30 years. Hairline cracks over board joints are an early warning we look out for.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Rural addresses near Whitemans Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
