FAQs for Moor Park
Is Moor Park in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Moor Park as anywhere else.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Moor Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
A precise figure is not something we give, because it depends on upkeep, weather and how the roof was laid. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
Does the survey cover asbestos?
We don’t test for asbestos. If we see materials that could contain it, such as cement sheets on a building from before 2000, we flag them so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check them.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Flat roof survey in Moor Park: what you get
If the house you are buying has a flat roof on an extension, dormer or garage, it is worth knowing its condition before exchange. Many felt roofs need renewing after around 15 to 20 years, and EPDM and GRP frequently go on for longer. We set out the type of covering, its condition and the defects we found, with photographs of each. That gives you facts to raise with the seller or agent. Typical surveys look at splits and cracks in the covering and damaged trims at the roof edge, across upstands and outlets, mastic asphalt and single-ply membranes.
Offices, shops and blocks of flats across London frequently have large flat roofs with plant, rooflights and walkways. Every penetration and upstand is a place where a membrane can fail. For a building in Moor Park, 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Local flat roofs in Moor Park
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Next to the main roofs there’s usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit. Historic houses such as Headstone Manor, about 3.9 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Moor Park goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like St Martins School Northwood: schools and public buildings frequently have big flat roofs, and their outlets and upstands need regular checks. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Harlequin Centre, flat roofs over shops and units are easy to forget until water comes through a ceiling.

What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Surveys in Moor Park can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We look at the roof from the ground, windows and the roof where it’s safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- Upstands, outlets, edge trims and rooflights are checked and photographed.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Check we can get to the back of the property

Related advice
Common roof problems in Moor Park
The details are often where a flat roof lets go first. Upstands, edge trims, outlets and the kerbs around rooflights move and weather differently from the rest of the roof. If they were rushed when the roof was laid, they’re often the first things to fail.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Outlets that hold water back
- Dips that suggest the deck is deflecting
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
