What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- An exact number of years the roof has left
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

How a flat roof survey works in Beam Park
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. The photographed record helps you plan and budget for work. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. Common reasons to book are blistering in felt or asphalt and pools of water lying on the roof, on upstands and outlets, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber.
London has a lot of flat roofs: rear additions, dormers, roof terraces and the roofs of blocks and offices. They’re covered in felt, asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or single-ply membranes, each with its own weak points. Which one is on a roof in Beam Park shapes how it’s checked. Many older flat roofs are felt or asphalt, and many newer ones EPDM rubber or GRP.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What a flat roof survey looks like in Beam Park
Historic houses such as Rainham Hall, about 1 mile south-east, show how far back building in the area around Beam Park goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Brewery, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks. Landlords with a home close to Dagenham Dock station may find that the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Newtons Primary School, a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Beam Park is about 1 mile south of Dagenham, in Greater London. We carry out flat roof surveys in Beam Park for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. We cover towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our London page covers surveys nearby.

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In Beam Park, as in much of London, plenty of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents as you book.
- We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
- We view the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- Every part of the roof we can see is looked at: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Where there is safe access, we look at the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
Questions from Beam Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Beam Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Is Beam Park in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Beam Park is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
We inspect from wherever is safe: the roof itself where that is safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. We never walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Check new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
Buyers can take the findings back to the seller or the agent. It can support a request for work before completion or a conversation about price, depending on the findings.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.
What affects the price in Beam Park
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
One thing that affects the price is 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.
What to let us know when you get in touch
