About our flat roof survey in Kingston
Many commercial buildings and blocks of flats have big flat roofs. A survey of a roof this size picks out worn covering, standing water and outlets that need attention. We record the condition with photographs so work can be planned and budgeted. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so it helps if you call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a rough idea of the roof area. If you are worried about splits, cracks and crazing and ponding water that doesn’t drain away, we can find out what’s behind it, on mastic asphalt, upstands and outlets and GRP fibreglass alike.
Around Kingston, many homes have a garden room, garage or outbuilding with a flat roof. They’re easy to forget, but water through a garage roof can spoil whatever is stored inside. It is worth mentioning them when you book, so the visit can include them, along with the main flat roof. Smaller roofs use the same coverings as bigger ones, from felt to rubber and GRP, and age in the same way.
The report records the flat roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Useful tips for Kingston property owners
Getting the most from a flat roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Make sure new fixings through the roof are properly sealed
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Keep clear of rooflights and fragile roof sheets
- Book a survey every few years
Once we have been, the findings are written up with photos. It explains the covering, its condition and every defect, and what we recommend. 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.
Book a survey every few years, and again after new fixings, units or rooflights go in. That catches changes early and builds up a record of the roof.
What this survey can’t tell you
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Fragile surfaces, which we don’t walk on
- A fixed date for when the roof will need replacing
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we look at
- EPDM rubber
- Mastic asphalt
- Upstands and outlets
- Felt flat roofs
- Single-ply membranes
- GRP fibreglass
What we’re asked to look at in Kingston
A buyer’s general survey often recommends a closer look at a flat roof. Building owners and managing agents book to plan maintenance, or before a sale or a new lease. In each case, the report gives a written, photographed record of the roof’s condition.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Cracked or split membrane
- Gaps at upstands and abutments
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Water getting in at rooflights
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems normally start.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Questions from Kingston
Will you come out to Kingston?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Kingston is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How do I arrange a flat roof survey in Kingston?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We will confirm the timing when booking.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Flat roofs in Kingston
About 3.6 miles south-west lies Bletchley Park, a reminder of how long the area around Kingston has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops.
Landlords with a home close to Woburn Sands station may find that a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak. For businesses in and around places such as Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
What we do, 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 roughly 1–2 hours for most houses; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a smaller place like Kingston, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- 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.
- The roof is inspected from every safe viewpoint, without walking on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
