Find out the condition of the flat roof at your property in Fuller Street from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Cracked or split membrane
- Water getting in at rooflights
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Fuller Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We look at the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking before the day
How to book
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.

How a flat roof survey works in Fuller Street
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. It suits a small roof over an extension or garage as well as a large one over flats, offices or units. The findings go into a written report with photos, setting out the defects and what we’d recommend. If you’ve noticed leaks around rooflights and blocked or damaged outlets, we can find out what’s behind it, on GRP fibreglass, single-ply membranes and mastic asphalt alike.
Somewhere as small as Fuller Street, flat roofs tend to be on extensions, garages and converted outbuildings. They need the same care as any town roof: outlets, upstands, edges and the covering itself. We simply plan the journey and access beforehand. Garages and outbuildings are easy to forget, so mention any you want included as you book.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Fuller Street. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Why get it checked now?
For a buyer, the best time to learn about a flat roof is before contracts are exchanged. After that, the cost of any work is yours. Our report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fuller Street can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Different roofs, different checks
Mastic asphalt
Mastic asphalt is a heavy, seamless covering often found on older blocks, balconies and commercial roofs. We look for crazing, cracks, blisters and splits at the skirtings.
Single-ply membranes
Many offices, units and newer flats have a single-ply PVC or TPO roof. We check the welded laps, the edges, the fixings and any punctures.
Questions from Fuller Street
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fuller Street?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Fuller Street?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Fuller Street is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
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.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We will rearrange with you if the weather isn’t right.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Do you go up onto the roof?
Where it’s 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. Fragile surfaces are never walked on.

Local flat roofs in Fuller Street
Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and plenty of post-war and modern estates besides. Next to the main roofs there’s typically a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand.
If you own a rental within reach of White Notley station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.

Useful tips for Fuller Street property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Check new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Check the outlets after the leaves fall
For landlords and building managers, the report is a dated record of the roof’s condition. It’s useful when planning upkeep and setting budgets, and it gives a baseline to compare against next time.
Clear leaves and silt from outlets and gutters, above all in autumn. Water that can drain away does far less harm than water that sits.
