Flat roof survey in Hurlingham
Our Basic Survey, from £150, gives you a visual inspection with photos and written recommendations. The Standard Survey, from £250, adds moisture detection and a structural check. On a flat roof, moisture readings can help show whether water has got under the covering. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey upstands and outlets, single-ply membranes and EPDM rubber, and people most frequently book us about upstands pulling away from walls and pools of water lying on the roof.
Across London, flat roofs are everywhere, from back additions and dormers to roof terraces, blocks of flats and offices. They’re covered in felt, asphalt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass or single-ply membranes, and each fails in its own way. Which one is on a roof in Hurlingham shapes how it’s checked. Many older flat roofs are felt or asphalt, and many newer ones EPDM rubber or GRP.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Hurlingham
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the flat roof, with photos.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Why act early in Hurlingham
On a commercial building, a flat roof leak can disrupt tenants, staff and stock. Surveying the roof in good time means work can be planned and budgeted around the business. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is frequently older than it looks.
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply membranes
Single-ply membranes can be damaged by foot traffic and equipment on the roof. Any tears, punctures or loose membrane are recorded with photos.
EPDM rubber
EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane, frequently laid in a single sheet on smaller roofs. The survey looks at laps, edge trims, corners and signs of puncture.

Questions from Hurlingham
Is my home in Hurlingham listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you look at the flat roof of a hotel or office near Hurlingham?
Yes, commercial buildings, hotels included, are part of the work. Roof access is agreed with the building manager or owner beforehand.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, like sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In Hurlingham, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- You send us the address and, for commercial roofs, an idea of the roof’s size.
- Inside, we look for signs of water under the roof where we can reach.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- We record every defect with a photo and its likely cause.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: 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.

In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Hurlingham
Water that does not drain sits on the roof and speeds up wear. Blocked outlets, poor falls and a sagging deck are the usual causes. Leaves and silt from nearby trees can soon choke an outlet.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Standing water left after rain
- Leaks around rooflights
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
Shop and office owners around Putney Exchange may find that a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks.

Flat roof surveys in Hurlingham: local notes
Hurlingham has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, often have flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, finding the cause of a flat roof leak quickly keeps rooms in use. About 0.7 miles west lies Fulham Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Hurlingham has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to St Dionis: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Hurlingham means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
