Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hatton
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photographs and written recommendations. For moisture detection and a structural check, the Standard Survey starts from £250. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Bigger commercial roofs are priced on their size and access. We survey felt flat roofs, mastic asphalt and upstands and outlets, and common reasons people get in touch are splits, cracks and crazing and failed seals around rooflight kerbs.
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 Hatton, roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand. Rooflights, plant supports and pipe entries are common places for a membrane to fail.
What you get is a clear record of the flat roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Do you need a flat roof survey in Hatton?
Ponding keeps the covering wet and wears it faster. Blocked outlets, poor falls and a sagging deck are the usual causes. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Common reasons to book include:
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Pools of water lying on the roof
- Damaged trims at the roof edge
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Treaty Centre, a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

Other services in Hatton
Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply relies on its welded laps staying sound. We look at seams, corners and the joints around outlets and upstands.
GRP fibreglass
GRP roofs are laid as a resin and glass-fibre layer over boards. We look for cracks at board joints, around trims and at upstands.
Flat and commercial roofs around Hatton
The wider area around Hatton has a long history of building, with Osterley House about 3.4 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cranford Primary School, large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. Take an older house close to The Parish Church of the Good Shepherd: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Check from a window for ponding after heavy rain
- Make sure new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Clear roof outlets and gutters each autumn
- Check ceilings under the roof for damp patches
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Keep foot traffic on a flat roof to a minimum. Where someone does need access, ask them to use boards or a protected route, and to keep well clear of rooflights and fragile sheeting.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Hatton moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We look at the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- A written report with photos and recommendations is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
Questions from Hatton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hatton?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you look at the flat roof of a hotel or office near Hatton?
Yes, commercial buildings, hotels included, are part of the work. Roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.
Is Hatton in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Hatton.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How we price flat roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- What made you get in touch
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- What kind of property and roof it is
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
