Flat roof survey in Woolmer: what you get
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. We are often asked to look into ponding water that doesn’t drain away and blistering in felt or asphalt, across GRP fibreglass, upstands and outlets and EPDM rubber.
In a village or hamlet like Woolmer, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included when booking.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.

Local flat roofs in Woolmer
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Matthew's Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. If you let a flat or house near Liss station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. If you look after a building such as St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Keep records of when the roof was laid and what work has been done
You get the report by email and can pass it to a roofer, your solicitor, the seller or your managing agent. Each defect is described in plain words and shown in a photo, so anyone reading it can see what we saw.
Get splits, lifted seams and loose trims seen to while they’re small. A flat roof that’s looked after between surveys usually lasts longer.
Prices for flat roof surveys in Woolmer
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
What to let us know when you contact us
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Your questions about flat roof surveys in Woolmer
Do you carry out roof surveys in Woolmer?
Yes, Woolmer is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Woolmer listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
We check the covering and every detail where leaks commonly start, and photograph anything that could be letting water in. Where the source is not obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
We cover the main flat roof coverings: felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply. The report names the covering and explains its condition.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a hamlet or village like Woolmer, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We look at the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Note where any stains or damp appear
