Prices for flat roof surveys in Wrecclesham

Flat roof survey in Wrecclesham
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: from the roof itself where that’s safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there’s access. We do not walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. Where any area can’t be viewed safely, we say so in the report, so the limits of the survey are clear. We survey GRP fibreglass, single-ply membranes and upstands and outlets, and people most often book us about leaks around rooflights and outlets choked with leaves and silt.
In smaller places like Wrecclesham, flat roofs are mostly on extensions, garages, porches and dormers. Even a small flat roof can let lots of water into the room below. What it’s covered in, and how well it was laid, decides what it needs. From an upstairs window, look for standing water, splits and edges coming away.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Wrecclesham: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wrecclesham?
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 Wrecclesham?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Wrecclesham is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Will this cover the whole house?
No. Our survey covers the flat roof only. It’s not a RICS Level 2 or 3 home survey or a structural engineer’s report. Many buyers use it alongside a building survey.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. The report follows by email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Useful tips for Wrecclesham property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Ask contractors to protect the roof if they work on it
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
If anything in the report isn’t clear, just ask us. Standard Surveys come with a follow-up consultation, and Premium Surveys with an in-person one, so you can talk the findings through.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. A flat roof that’s looked after between surveys usually lasts longer.

Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and built-up roofs
The edges and upstands of a felt roof are usually where trouble starts. We check each one and photograph any that have split or pulled away.
Rooflights and upstands
Rooflights, lanterns and upstands are where many flat roof leaks begin. We check the seals and the covering around each one.

Flat roof surveys in Wrecclesham: local notes
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Next to the main roofs there is normally a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 1.6 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Wrecclesham goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
The streets around a church like St Peter's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. For landlords with property near Farnham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. Take a building like St Peter's CofE Primary School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; 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. If you have questions on the day, just ask. A visit to Wrecclesham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- 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.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check pets are kept safely away
