Flat roof survey in Winkfield Street: what you get
A flat roof does not shed water the way a pitched roof does. Water lies on the surface for longer, so a small split or a blocked outlet can soon lead to a leak. The surface, the falls, the upstands and the trims are all looked at closely, and we look for signs that water has reached the deck. That way, defects are found before they reach the room below. We survey mastic asphalt, felt flat roofs and single-ply membranes, and common reasons people get in touch are outlets choked with leaves and silt and signs of deflection in the roof deck.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Winkfield Street take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Older felt roofs, often around 15–20 years in life, show it first. Rubber and GRP last longer, though trims and joints still need a look. Exposed edges are normally the first part of a flat roof to go.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Waiting for a stain inside means the water has already got through the layers. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, so you can plan the work rather than react to it. For older village homes like those around Winkfield Street, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Can I check my roof myself?
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Flat and commercial roofs around Winkfield Street
Historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill, about 2.8 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Winkfield Street goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you own a rental within reach of Martins Heron station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If you run a business near The Lexicon, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. You might ask for work to be done before completion, or discuss the price, depending on what we found.
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.
