Flat Roof Survey in Burley Street
Surveys of flat roofs on homes, extensions and commercial buildings in Burley Street, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Signs of deflection in the roof deck
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
- Leaks around rooflights
What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Rural addresses near Burley Street can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.

How a flat roof survey works in Burley Street
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Common reasons to book are standing water left after rain and loose or cracked edge trims, on upstands and outlets, EPDM rubber and mastic asphalt.
In a village or hamlet like Burley Street, flat roofs are typically on extensions, garages, outbuildings or barn conversions. The checks are the same as anywhere: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. If there are outbuildings or garages with flat roofs, mention them when booking.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Flat roofs on extensions, dormers, garages and business units are found alongside them almost everywhere. About 2.7 miles south-west lies Avon Tyrrell House, a reminder of how long the area around Burley Street has been built on.

When to book a survey in Burley Street
Flat roofs often get walked on for other jobs: to clean windows, fit aerials or air conditioning units, or reach a gutter. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. Fixings added through the covering frequently start leaks too.
Problems we come across often include:
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burley Primary School, ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- What experience they bring
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. Any we find are noted and photographed.
Mastic asphalt
With age, asphalt can harden and crack with movement. The report shows where it is cracking and how far it seems to extend.
Questions from Burley Street
Is Burley Street in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Burley Street is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Burley Street?
Yes. Burley Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Do you check flat roofs for asbestos?
We don’t carry out asbestos surveys. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos, for example in cement roof sheets. We note anything that could contain it, and a specialist asbestos surveyor should check it before it is disturbed.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs like deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
How do you inspect a flat roof?
It depends on what’s safe: the roof itself where that’s safe, plus windows, vantage points and the rooms below. Fragile rooflights and fragile sheets are never walked on.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
