Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Berrylands
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. We survey extension, garage and dormer roofs as well as bigger roofs on flats, offices and units. You get a written report with photos and our recommendations. If you’ve noticed a sagging deck under the covering and water getting in at rooflights, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on single-ply membranes, upstands and outlets and felt flat roofs alike.
Water getting through a flat roof in London can travel under the covering and appear some way from the hole. Outlets, upstands against parapet walls and joins with the main roof are frequent culprits. In a converted house in Berrylands, the roof above may belong to the building rather than one flat.
Where we can’t see part of the flat roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. Most often it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and each wet season wears the covering further. Finding the cause now keeps more options open. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

How we price flat roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Which survey package you book
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
Helping us price your survey
There is no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The property’s address and postcode
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.

How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In Berrylands, as in much of London, plenty of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is frequently seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there’s access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the flat roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
FAQs for Berrylands
Do you cover Berrylands?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Berrylands as anywhere else.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Berrylands?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before booking. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks normally begin, 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.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will you walk on the flat roof?
Where it is safe, the roof is inspected from the roof itself. Otherwise we use windows, vantage points and the spaces below, and the report says if any part couldn’t be seen. We don’t walk on fragile rooflights or sheeting.
Does a flat roof survey replace a RICS survey?
No. We look closely at the flat roof rather than the whole building. It complements a RICS home survey rather than replacing it, and structural calculations need a structural engineer.
What we look for on each type of roof
Felt and built-up roofs
Felt roofs frequently last around 15 to 20 years, depending on how they were laid and looked after. We record how yours is doing and where it’s weakest.
Rooflights and upstands
Upstands at walls and parapets need to stay watertight as the building moves. We check for splits, gaps and loose flashings above the upstand.
Flat roof surveys around Berrylands
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Berrylands is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. The wider area around Berrylands has a long history of building, with Hampton Court Palace about 2.4 miles west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Shop and office owners around Bentall Centre may find that flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling. For a London address like Berrylands, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space. If you look after a building like Christ Church CofE Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
