Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Loughborough Junction
Water through a flat roof does not always come in where the stain is. It may start at a split, a lifted seam or a failed upstand well away from the damp patch. That’s why we check every detail across the roof, not only the area above the stain, and photograph anything that could let water in. Whoever carries out the work then has a clear starting point. If you’re worried about pools of water lying on the roof and loose or cracked edge trims, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Offices, shops and blocks of flats across London frequently have large flat roofs with plant, rooflights and walkways. Each pipe, upstand and fixing through the covering is a possible weak point. For a building in Loughborough Junction, access is agreed with whoever manages the roof before the visit. Plant bases, rooflights and cable entries are all places where water can get in.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What we can’t see
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Felt flat roofs

Loughborough Junction: your questions answered
Can you look at the flat roof of a hotel or office near Loughborough Junction?
Yes, commercial flat roofs are part of what we cover. For a bigger roof, you will get a quote based on the building, and roof access is agreed with you before the visit.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Loughborough Junction?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. That way the visit can be planned around it.
What if it rains on the day?
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.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when booking.

The survey, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In Loughborough Junction, as in much of London, lots of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when you book.
- First we go through the roof, what’s beneath it and any problems so far.
- We look at the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- We check the covering for splits, blisters, ponding and wear.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photographs and recommendations, comes to you by email.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What else we do in Loughborough Junction
Flat roof surveys around Loughborough Junction
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, frequently with Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere. The wider area around Loughborough Junction has a long history of building, with Kingswood House about 2.6 miles south. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you look after a building like St Saviour's Church of England Primary School, schools and public buildings often have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. Shop and office owners around Gabriel's Wharf may find that a flat roof over a business is out of sight and out of mind until it leaks. The streets around a church such as St Matthew's Camberwell are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, later flat-roofed additions are common on older houses, and their edges and upstands often show the first signs of wear.

Why it is worth a survey now in Loughborough Junction
Standing water on a flat roof rarely sorts itself out. Most often it means blocked outlets, poor falls or a deck that is dipping, and every wet spell adds to the wear. Knowing the cause early gives you more choice over what to do. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
