About our flat roof survey in Wisborough Green
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats often sit under large flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. We record the condition with photographs so work can be planned and budgeted. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so it helps if you call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. If you’ve noticed pools of water lying on the roof and outlets that hold water back, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Wisborough Green are listed or in a conservation area, and that can affect how an extension roof or dormer is re-covered. If you’re planning work, check with the council first. Finding out what state the roof is in gives you the facts to plan with. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Flat roofs in Wisborough Green
About 4.4 miles south lies Old Place Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Wisborough Green has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls are typical of older Sussex houses. Some old buildings in Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
For landlords with property near Billingshurst station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. Anyone responsible for a site like Wisborough Green Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.
Wisborough Green is about 9 miles west of Horsham, in West Sussex. If you’re in Wisborough Green, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date.

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In a small place like Wisborough Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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 is access.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave side gates unlocked
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, tell us about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply membranes
Many offices, units and newer flats have a single-ply PVC or TPO roof. We check the welded laps, the edges, the fixings and any punctures.
EPDM rubber
A rubber roof can last 30 to 50 years, provided its details were done well. We look closely at each of those details.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- How big the roof is
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Wisborough Green
Will you come out to Wisborough Green?
Yes, Wisborough Green is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wisborough Green?
Yes, Wisborough Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?
No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it, and it isn’t a structural engineer’s report.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. Not sure what yours is? We will tell you in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Useful tips for Wisborough Green property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Book a survey every few years
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
If anything in the report is not clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one, so you can talk the findings through.
Have the roof surveyed every few years, and after any work that goes through it. That catches changes early and builds up a record of the roof.
