Flat roof survey in Windlesham
A flat roof leak often travels before it shows on the ceiling. It can run along the deck from a split, an open lap or a failed upstand some distance away. Our survey covers the whole roof, not just the part above the mark, and photograph anything that could let water in. A roofer can then start from a clear picture of the problem. We survey single-ply membranes, upstands and outlets and GRP fibreglass, and common reasons people get in touch are raised blisters across the surface and failed upstands where the roof meets a wall.
In a smaller place like Windlesham, some flat roofs sit in the open, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for, along with water that sits after rain. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

FAQs for Windlesham
Is my home in Windlesham listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Windlesham in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
It depends on what’s safe: on the roof where it’s safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks usually begin, recording anything that could let water through. Where the source isn’t obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. The report follows by email.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed.
What affects the price in Windlesham

To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What to let us know when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- When you need the report by
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Local flat roofs in Windlesham
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. 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 like Windlesham Village Infant School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. For landlords with property near Bagshot station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems usually start.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Plan a survey before the covering reaches the end of its usual life
The report is emailed to you, ready to share with a roofer, the seller or a managing agent. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo, so others can follow it without going up to look.
After heavy rain, look at the roof from an upstairs window if you can. Water still lying a day or two later is worth getting looked at.
For landlords and managing agents
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
Why act early in Windlesham
A small split in a flat roof is usually a modest job when it’s found early. Left alone, water can soak the insulation and the deck, and the job grows. Surveying it now tells you where you stand. Around Windlesham, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Windlesham is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- 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.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
How to prepare
- Keep pets in another room
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What you can safely check yourself
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
