Flat roof survey in Wooburn Green: what you get
Our flat roof survey checks the waterproof covering and every detail around it, from edges and upstands to outlets and rooflights. We cover felt, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply roofs. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. We survey EPDM rubber, mastic asphalt and GRP fibreglass, and people most frequently book us about pools of water lying on the roof and a sagging deck under the covering.
In a smaller place like Wooburn Green, some flat roofs sit in the open, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Felt and bitumen also age in strong sun. The signs are splits, blisters and edges coming away, along with water that sits after rain. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Wooburn Green
Is Wooburn Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Wooburn Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wooburn Green?
Yes, Wooburn Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Wooburn Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do you inspect a flat roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: on the roof where it’s safe, and from windows, nearby vantage points and inside. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?
No. It is a closer look at the flat roof, not a survey of the whole property. It works alongside a RICS home survey, not instead of one, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
Can you test old roof sheets for asbestos?
We don’t test for asbestos. Where a roof has materials that might contain asbestos, such as old cement sheeting, the report flags them and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we will arrange another day with you.
Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?
Our survey looks across the whole roof, not only above the stain. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.

What else we do in Wooburn Green
DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit to Wooburn Green is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that is safe.
- The covering, falls, upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of what we found. It explains the covering, its condition and every defect, and what we recommend. Turnaround is within 48 hours for a Basic Survey, 24 to 48 hours for a Standard Survey and the same day for a Premium Survey.
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.
What affects the price in Wooburn Green
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Roof area
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
We will normally ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Local flat roofs in Wooburn Green
About 2.6 miles south lies Cliveden, a reminder of how long the area around Wooburn Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Next to the main roofs there’s normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
If you look after a building like Wooburn Green Primary School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail. If you live in an older home near St Mary's Pastoral Centre, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands frequently show the first signs of wear.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Wooburn Green
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.
We are often asked to look at:
- Raised blisters across the surface
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
- Cracked or split membrane
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
Landlords with a home close to Bourne End station may find that flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round.
