Furze Platt: your questions answered
Do you cover Furze Platt?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Furze Platt is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Furze Platt?
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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you survey commercial flat roofs?
Yes. We survey flat roofs on offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats. We quote bigger roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Can you find where water is getting through my flat roof?
The survey covers the covering and all the details where leaks typically begin, recording anything that could let water through. Where the source isn’t obvious, a roof leak investigation or electronic leak detection may be the next step.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
Flat roof survey in Furze Platt
Flat roofs deal with rain in a very different way from pitched ones. Water lies on the surface for longer, so a small split or a blocked outlet can soon lead to a leak. We check the surface, the falls, the upstands and the edge trims, and we note any sign that the deck below has got wet. The aim is to find problems before they show up as a stain on a ceiling. We survey GRP fibreglass, mastic asphalt and felt flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are pools of water lying on the roof and raised blisters across the surface.
Outbuildings, garden rooms and garages in places like Furze Platt often have flat roofs of their own. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. If you want them looked at too, mention them when booking. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Furze Platt
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Look for standing water a day after rain
- Note any new marks on ceilings beneath the roof
- Make sure new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
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 makes changes easy to spot at the next survey.
Get splits, lifted seams and loose trims seen to while they’re small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.

Flat and commercial roofs around Furze Platt
The wider area around Furze Platt has a long history of building, with Cliveden about 2.6 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Take a building like Furze Platt Senior School: large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. If you let a flat or house near Furze Platt station, the flat roof over a let home is worth a look before it becomes a tenant complaint.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report.

Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.

Related advice
Checking the roof from the ground
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Ponding seldom gets better on its own. Most frequently it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and each wet season wears the covering further. Finding the cause now keeps more options open. In an older home around Furze Platt, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
