How a flat roof survey works in Womenswold
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply PVC or TPO roofs are all part of the work. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. You get a written report with photos and our recommendations. If you’ve noticed blocked or damaged outlets and failed seals around rooflight kerbs, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Womenswold, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: 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 you book.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

- Fragile surfaces, which we do not walk on

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere as small as Womenswold, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets in another room
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
Booking a survey
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Note the date and type of any roof work
If you are buying, the report gives you something specific to take back to the seller or agent. You might ask for work to be done before completion, or discuss the price, depending on what we found.
Keep outlets, gutters and hoppers clear, particularly after the leaves fall. Water that can drain away does far less harm than water that sits.
Why it is worth a survey now in Womenswold
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. It typically points to an outlet, the falls or a sagging deck, and every wet spell adds to the wear. Finding the cause now keeps more options open. In a place like Womenswold, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Womenswold: your questions answered
Is Womenswold within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Womenswold?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What types of flat roof do you survey?
Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. Not sure what yours is? We’ll tell you in the report.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size and access, so please call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
Asbestos testing is not part of our survey. Where a roof has materials that might contain asbestos, such as old cement sheeting, the report flags them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them.
Flat and commercial roofs around Womenswold
Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. With Goodnestone Park about 2.8 miles north-east, Womenswold sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For landlords with property near Snowdown station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. The streets around a church like Church of St Margaret are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

Rooflights and upstands
We do not walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. We view them from safe positions and photograph what we see.
Mastic asphalt
Without seams, asphalt tends to fail through cracking and at its skirtings. We record any crazing or splits and where water may be getting in.
