Flat Roof Survey in Feltham
A careful look at the flat roof at your property in Feltham, with photos and a written report.
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Outlets that hold water back
Roof by roof
EPDM rubber
A rubber roof can last 30 to 50 years, provided its details were done well. Those details are where we focus.
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.
How a flat roof survey works in Feltham
Buying a home with a flat-roofed extension, dormer or garage? It helps to know that roof’s condition before you exchange. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, while EPDM and GRP often last longer. We set out the type of covering, its condition and the defects we found, with photos of each. You then have something specific to put to the seller or agent. If you’ve noticed cracked or split membrane and damaged trims at the roof edge, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
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 Feltham, the flat roof is frequently a shared part of the building.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey normally takes about 1–2 hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In a London area like Feltham, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Before the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Book a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Flat and commercial roofs around Feltham
The wider area around Feltham has a long history of building, with Strawberry Hill House about 3.5 miles east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Feltham 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.
Take an older house close to Christ Church: any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof. Hotels and guest houses near Feltham can’t easily close rooms for a leak, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.

What we are asked to look at in Feltham
Flat roofs take the full force of the weather on a surface that drains slowly. Over the years, coverings harden, crack and start to come away at the edges. People usually call us when a leak appears, before a purchase, or when the roof may be near the end of its life.
Look out for signs like these:
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Blisters and bubbles in the covering
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- A sagging deck under the covering
If you look after a building such as St Lawrence Catholic Primary School, a large flat roof with a good many outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
What to check before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their drone registration, if they fly one

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Note the date and type of any roof work
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Keep outlets clear of leaves and moss
You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. With each roofer working from the same list, comparing quotes is simpler. It is your choice who carries out the work and when.
Keep outlets, gutters and hoppers clear, particularly after the leaves fall. A flat roof that drains well wears much more slowly.
Common questions in Feltham
Can you look at the flat roof of a hotel or office near Feltham?
Yes, commercial buildings, hotels included, are part of the work. Access to the roof is sorted out with whoever manages the building before the day.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Feltham?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How do I book a survey in Feltham?

Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report follows by email.
