Why act early in Bushey Heath
Waiting for a stain inside means the water has already got through the layers. A survey can find worn areas and failing details before that point, while there’s still time to plan the work. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Bushey Heath, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.

About our flat roof survey in Bushey Heath
A flat roof survey looks at the covering, the edges, the outlets and the details where the roof meets walls 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. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. We survey GRP fibreglass, felt flat roofs and EPDM rubber, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or split membrane and ponding water that doesn’t drain away.
Around Bushey Heath, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re rarely looked at until something gets wet. It is worth mentioning them when you book, so the visit can include them. Felt, rubber and GRP coverings on garages and outbuildings age in just the same way as the main roof’s.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

FAQs for Bushey Heath
How do I find out if my home in Bushey Heath is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do you cover Bushey Heath?
Yes, Bushey Heath is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. The written report follows by email.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
What happens next?
You’ll get the report by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What we look for on each type of roof
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. We record any we can see, with photographs.
GRP fibreglass
A well-laid GRP roof frequently lasts up to about 30 years. Hairline cracks over board joints are an early warning we look out for.
What affects the price in Bushey Heath
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Treat rooflights and old sheeting as fragile
After the visit, we write up the report with photographs of what we found. It explains the covering, its condition and every defect, and what we recommend. 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 will spot changes early and have a record to look back on.
Flat roof surveys around Bushey Heath
Headstone Manor, about 2.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bushey Heath. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are plenty of flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Take a building like Bushey Heath Primary School: schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start. For businesses in and around places such as Harlequin Centre, outlets and upstands on commercial flat roofs are the places to check before trouble starts.

What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Bushey Heath, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- The roof is viewed from safe positions, including the roof itself where that is safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Arrange a survey
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Advice
Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
- Hidden layers beneath the covering
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
