Flat roofs in Wildmoor
The wider area around Wildmoor has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 3 miles west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, 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. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St. Leonard, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Festival Place, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

About our flat roof survey in Wildmoor
If the house you are buying has a flat roof on an extension, dormer or garage, it is worth knowing its condition before exchange. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM and GRP often last longer. We set out the type of covering, its condition and the defects we found, with a photo of every defect. You then have something specific to put to the seller or agent. We survey GRP fibreglass, single-ply membranes and mastic asphalt, and common reasons people get in touch are edge trims that have lifted or split and failed seals around rooflight kerbs.
Somewhere as small as Wildmoor, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: 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 you book.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the flat roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
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.
Booking your survey
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, it is useful to mention:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.
Signs you need a flat roof survey in Wildmoor
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. It normally comes from poor falls, a blocked outlet or a deck that has dipped. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Outlets that hold water back
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.

Questions from Wildmoor
How do I find out if my home in Wildmoor 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.
Do you cover Wildmoor?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Wildmoor is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. If you don’t know what your roof is, we will identify it on the day.
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.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report is sent afterwards by email.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Wildmoor, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Note where any stains or damp appear

How the survey changes by roof type
Rooflights and upstands
Upstands at walls and parapets need to stay watertight as the building moves. We look for splits, gaps and failed flashings over the top.
EPDM rubber
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane, often laid in a single sheet on smaller roofs. The survey looks at laps, edge trims, corners and signs of puncture.
Tips that help
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
- Book a survey every few years
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
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.
Get splits, lifted seams and loose trims seen to while they’re small. A flat roof that is looked after between surveys usually lasts longer.
