Bush Hill: your questions answered
Is Bush Hill in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bush Hill as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bush Hill?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Which flat roof coverings do you cover?
We survey felt and built-up roofs, mastic asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply PVC and TPO. Not sure what yours is? We’ll tell you in the report.
How experienced are you?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
How much does a flat roof survey cost in Bush Hill?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
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.
Flat roof survey in Bush Hill
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 report with photographs and our recommendations. We survey GRP fibreglass, upstands and outlets and EPDM rubber, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or split membrane and leaks around rooflights.
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 block or conversion in Bush Hill, the flat roof is often a shared part of the building.
Where we cannot see part of the flat roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What else we do in Bush Hill
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Bush Hill moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- You let us know about the roof, its covering if you know it, and any leaks.
- The roof is inspected from safe viewpoints, and from the roof itself where that is safe.
- We check and photograph the covering, the falls, the upstands, the outlets, the trims and any rooflights.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where we can reach them.
- You get a report with photos and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work

Flat roofs in Bush Hill
Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Historic houses such as Forty Hall, about 2.1 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Bush Hill goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like Grange Park Preparatory School will know that ponding and blocked outlets on a wide flat roof are worth catching before the next wet season. For a London address like Bush Hill, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space.
Bush Hill is about 1 mile south of Enfield, in Greater London. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Bush Hill can all book flat roof surveys. Our area takes in places right across Greater London, large and small. Our London page covers surveys nearby.

Why it is worth a survey now in Bush Hill
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. It typically points to an outlet, the falls or a sagging deck, and every wet spell adds to the wear. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. In Bush Hill, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT.

When to book a survey in Bush Hill
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. In time, the covering dries out, cracks and loosens at its edges and laps. Most people book a survey after a leak, before buying, or when they think the roof is getting old.
Common reasons to book include:
- Splits and cracks in the covering
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Upstands pulling away from walls
- Water getting in at rooflights
For an older house near a landmark such as Grange Park Methodist Church, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking.
