How a flat roof survey works in Yateley
Each type of flat roof has its own weak points. Built-up felt tends to blister and crack, asphalt crazes and splits, EPDM can lift at its laps, and GRP can crack at board joints and edge trims. Single-ply PVC and TPO roofs are checked at their welds, edges and fixings. Knowing what you have and how it is doing helps you plan what comes next. We survey mastic asphalt, GRP fibreglass and felt flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are outlets choked with leaves and silt and gaps at upstands and abutments.
Houses around a town like Yateley often have a flat roof somewhere, over an extension, garage, porch or dormer. Many are felt, and newer ones may be EPDM rubber or GRP. Ponding water, splits along the edges and lifting upstands are the usual warning signs. Water that sits for days after rain is often the first sign a flat roof needs attention.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Common questions in Yateley
Is there anything to prepare before you come to Yateley?
Clear the way to the loft hatch if there is one, and let us know about any leaks, stains or past repairs. Parking and access details for Yateley help us plan the visit.
Do you cover Yateley?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will the survey show why my flat roof is leaking?
We check the whole roof, since water can travel before it shows inside. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. If the cause cannot be seen, we’ll say so and suggest what would help.
Do you cover flat roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Commercial and residential flat roofs are both covered. Expect about 3 to 4 hours on site for most commercial roofs, and larger roofs are quoted for their size.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Why act early in Yateley
A survey can show whether a whole new roof is needed or whether the problems are in a few places. Sometimes a few details are to blame, and sometimes the covering has simply had its day. The report sets out what we found, so you can make that decision with a roofer. Once water reaches the loft insulation in a home in Yateley, it loses much of its value and is slow to dry. That adds to the bill long before the leak is obvious.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

What affects the price in Yateley
When we price a survey, we consider:
- House, block, shop or office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In Yateley, parking is rarely complicated, though it’s useful to know about driveways or restrictions. The inspection covers everything that’s safely in view from outside, from windows and from the loft space.
- 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’s 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 we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Arrange a survey
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll explain the options and the price.

When you need someone else
It is a careful look at the flat roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Testing older roof sheets for asbestos
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Mastic asphalt
- Single-ply membranes
- Upstands and outlets
- GRP fibreglass
- Felt flat roofs
- EPDM rubber
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Book a survey every few years
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Note the date and type of any roof work
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24 to 48 hours and Premium reports the same day.
Book a survey every few years, and again after new fixings, units or rooflights go in. You’ll spot changes early and have a record to look back on.
Flat roof surveys around Yateley
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you let a flat or house near Sandhurst station, flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Yateley School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks.
