About our flat roof survey in North Wembley
A Basic Survey, from £150, covers a visual inspection, a condition report, photos 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 GRP fibreglass, mastic asphalt and upstands and outlets, and common reasons people get in touch are blistering in felt or asphalt and splits, cracks and crazing.
Water getting through a flat roof in London can travel under the covering and appear some way from the hole. Outlets, upstands against parapet walls and joins with the main roof are frequent culprits. In a converted house in North Wembley, the roof above may belong to the building rather than one flat.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- 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.
- You get a report setting out the condition and our recommendations, in order of urgency.

Advice
How we price flat roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- House, block, shop or office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the exact price before you book.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Common questions in North Wembley
Is my home in North Wembley listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in North Wembley?
Normally it’s manageable with a little notice. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Is North Wembley in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes North Wembley.
How do I book a survey in North Wembley?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
What does a roof survey cost?
Flat roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
How many years has my flat roof got left?
A precise figure is not something we give, because so much depends on upkeep, exposure and workmanship. Our report describes the condition and what needs doing, and when.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Note where water lies after a downpour
- Have the roof looked at again after a severe storm
- Keep people off the roof unless they need to be there
- Ask whoever fits equipment on the roof to make good the covering
You can use the report to ask roofers to quote for the same work. With each roofer working from the same list, comparing quotes is simpler. It’s your choice who carries out the work and when.
Get splits, lifted seams and loose trims seen to while they’re small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.
Do you need a flat roof survey in North Wembley?
Flat roofs often get walked on for other jobs: to clean windows, fit aerials or air conditioning units, or reach a gutter. A covering that wasn’t designed for foot traffic can crack or puncture. Fixings added through the covering frequently start leaks too.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Blocked or damaged outlets
- Water getting in at rooflights
- Ponding water that does not drain away
- Edge trims that have lifted or split
Take a building like Park Lane Primary School: a large flat roof with lots of outlets and rooflights has many places where a membrane can fail.
Before you book anyone
- What happens after the report arrives
- When you will get the report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether the price includes VAT
What happens if roof problems are left?
Waiting for a stain inside means the water has already got through the layers. We can pick up worn covering and failing details sooner, so you can plan the work rather than react to it. In North Wembley, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

Flat roofs in North Wembley
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. Mixed in with those pitched roofs are a good many flat ones, over rear extensions, dormers, garages and shops. There are several hotels within about a mile and a half of North Wembley. If you look after one, a leak through a flat roof can put a room out of use.
For landlords with property near Wembley Central station, flat roofs on let property tend to be checked only when they fail, which is the costly way round. Take an older house close to Church of St John: the flat roofs on later extensions tend to wear out long before the main roof.

What this survey can’t tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Whether the deck or joists are strong enough
- What’s under the membrane without opening it up
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
