How the survey changes by roof type
Rooflights and upstands
We do not walk on rooflights or fragile sheeting, and we treat older rooflights as fragile. They’re inspected from safe positions and recorded with photos.
Mastic asphalt
Older asphalt can become brittle and crack as the roof moves. We note where this is happening and how widespread it looks.
About our flat roof survey in Wonersh
Every flat roof covering tends to fail in its own way. Felt can blister and crack, asphalt can craze and split, EPDM seams and laps can lift, and GRP can crack where boards meet or at the trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it’s doing helps you plan what comes next. If you are worried about signs of deflection in the roof deck and raised blisters across the surface, we can find out what’s behind it, on GRP fibreglass, upstands and outlets and single-ply membranes alike.
Flat roofs on exposed homes in small places like Wonersh take more wind and rain, which is hard on edges, upstands and joins in the covering. Felt roofs, which often last around 15–20 years, normally show it first. EPDM rubber and GRP coverings last longer, but their edges and joints still need checking. Exposed edges are typically the first part of a flat roof to go.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Wonersh
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wonersh?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you cover Wonersh?
Yes, Wonersh is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What do I do with the report?
You will get the report by email. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
How much is a survey?
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
What’s in the report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Flat roof surveys around Wonersh
About 1.7 miles north lies Chilworth Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Wonersh has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wonersh United Reformed Church, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bramley CofE Aided Infant School and Nursery, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. Landlords with a home close to Chilworth station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
Wonersh is about 4 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. In Wonersh, as across Surrey, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our Surrey coverage includes Wonersh.

How the survey works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes an hour or two for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. Cottages and farmhouses around Wonersh often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wonersh
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps with budgets and planning.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The size of the roof
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Flat roofs can’t typically be seen from the street, so they’re often overlooked. Many owners only find out a roof is worn out when water comes through. Regular surveys mean it won’t come as a surprise. In a small place like Wonersh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
