Independent flat roof surveys in Grange Park

What we cannot see

A survey is a careful look at the flat roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:

  • Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
  • What’s under the membrane without opening it up
  • Testing older roof sheets for asbestos

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

Flat roof survey in Grange Park

Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photographs and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. Moisture readings are useful on flat roofs, where water can spread under the covering before it shows inside. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We’re often asked to look into cracked or split membrane and ponding water that doesn’t drain away, across upstands and outlets, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber.

Commercial and residential blocks across London frequently have big flat roofs with plant, rooflights and access walkways. Every penetration and upstand is a place where a membrane can fail. In Grange Park, roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand. Plant bases, rooflights and cable entries are all places where water can get in.

It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Your questions about flat roof surveys in Grange Park

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Grange Park?

London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.

Is Grange Park in the area you cover?

We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.

Will you photograph what you find?

Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.

How experienced are you?

Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.

How do I book a survey in Grange Park?

Simply call 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.

Is ponding on a flat roof a problem?

Standing water on a flat roof deserves a closer look. It can point to blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is sagging, and it wears the covering faster. We record where it sits and the likely cause.

Do you look for flat roof leaks?

We check the whole roof, since water can travel before it shows inside. Splits, open laps, upstands, outlets and rooflights are all checked. If the cause can’t be seen, we’ll say so and suggest what would help.

What a flat roof survey looks like in Grange Park

With Forty Hall about 2 miles north-east, Grange Park sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. 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 Grange Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.

Landlords with a home close to Grange Park station may find that flat roofs over rear additions and dormers in rented property are worth checking between tenancies. For a London address like Grange Park, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Edmonton Green Shopping Centre, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.

Grange Park is about 3 miles north-west of Edmonton, in Greater London. We provide flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Grange Park. We cover towns and villages across Greater London. There is also a page for London.

Prices for flat roof surveys in Grange Park

Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:

  • Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
  • Height and safe access
  • If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
  • The size of the roof

A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

What to tell us when you contact us

Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:

  • Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
  • Any marks or damp showing indoors
  • Your timetable, like an exchange date
  • Your postcode, so we can check access and travel

Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Practical tips

Small things make a difference. Some pointers:

  • Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
  • Note where water lies after a downpour
  • Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
  • File the paperwork for the roof and any repairs

After the visit, we write up the report with photos of what we found. It covers the type of covering, its condition and each defect, with our recommendations. Turnaround is within 48 hours for a Basic Survey, 24 to 48 hours for a Standard Survey and the same day for a Premium Survey.

Try not to let a flat roof become a walkway. If access is needed, boards or walkways help protect the covering, and remind them never to step on rooflights or fragile sheets.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Grange Park

Landlords, agents and building managers in Grange Park and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.

The survey, step by step

After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take about one to two hours for a small flat roof at home, and longer for a large commercial one. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it’s useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.

  1. We start with the details: the address, the roof’s use and any leaks or stains.
  2. We check the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
  3. Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
  4. Where there’s safe access, we check the ceilings and spaces below for signs of water.
  5. We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Getting ready for the survey

  • If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
  • Tell us where we can park nearby
  • Find any records of previous roof work

Arrange a survey

Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, tell us about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

What we look for on each type of roof

GRP fibreglass

A GRP fibreglass roof is a hard, resin-bonded surface over a timber deck. We look for cracks at board joints, around trims and at upstands.

Rooflights and upstands

The joins around rooflights and at upstands are common leak points. We check how the covering is finished around each rooflight and upstand.
