How a flat roof survey works in Wraysbury
Each type of flat roof has its own weak points. 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. On PVC and TPO single-ply roofs, we look closely at the welded laps, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it is doing helps you plan what comes next. We survey single-ply membranes, EPDM rubber and upstands and outlets, and common reasons people get in touch are pools of water lying on the roof and splits, cracks and crazing.
Flat roofs in smaller places like Wraysbury can be more exposed, especially where nothing shelters them, where wind can catch loose edges and trims. Sun on a flat roof also ages felt and bitumen. Splits, blisters and lifting edges are what to look out for, along with water that sits after rain. A flat roof that still holds water days after rain is also worth a closer look.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like Wraysbury does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- 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.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.

Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
- Book a survey every few years
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. Because everyone is pricing the same findings, the quotes are easier to compare. You stay in control of who does the work and when.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and remind them never to step on rooflights or fragile sheets.

What we’re asked to look at in Wraysbury
People go onto flat roofs for all sorts of reasons: cleaning windows, fitting aerials or air conditioning, or clearing gutters. Each visit can damage a covering not made for regular foot traffic. Fixings added through the covering frequently start leaks too.
Common reasons to book include:
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Raised blisters across the surface
Take an older house close to Church of St Andrew: later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Wraysbury questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wraysbury?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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 cover Wraysbury?
Yes, Wraysbury is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you look for flat roof leaks?
We check the whole roof, since water can travel before it shows inside. Every split, lap, upstand, outlet and rooflight we can see is checked. Where nothing visible explains the leak, the report says what to try next.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
Our survey does not include asbestos testing. Older buildings, from before 2000, may have asbestos in cement sheets or soffits. Anything that might contain it is flagged, so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check before work starts.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What does ponding on a flat roof mean?
Water that lies on a flat roof for days is a sign that something needs attention. The cause may be the outlets, the falls or the deck. We check each of these and record what we find.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Wraysbury
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What affects the price in Wraysbury
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat

- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Anything about access we should know
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
