Questions from Streatham Park
How do I find out if my home in Streatham Park is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Streatham Park?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you survey any kind of flat roof?
Felt, asphalt, EPDM, GRP and single-ply roofs are all covered. Not sure what yours is? We’ll tell you in the report.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for an extension, garage or dormer roof, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial flat roof. The written report follows by email.
Flat roof surveys for homes and businesses in Streatham Park
Offices, shops, industrial units and blocks of flats often sit under large flat roofs. On a roof like this, a survey shows where the covering is wearing, where water is ponding and which outlets need attention. We record the condition with photos so work can be planned and budgeted. We quote commercial roofs on their size and how they’re reached, so please ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and an idea of the roof’s size. If you’re worried about splits and cracks in the covering and blistering in felt or asphalt, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Water getting through a flat roof in London can travel under the covering and appear some way from the hole. Upstands against parapets, outlets and the edge where flat meets pitched are common entry points. In a converted house in Streatham Park, the roof above may belong to the building rather than one flat.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the flat roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

How we price flat roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- What made you get in touch
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or email us.

What this survey cannot tell you

- Hidden layers beneath the covering
- Parts of the roof that aren’t safe to walk on or view
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Upstands and outlets
- Felt flat roofs
- GRP fibreglass
- Mastic asphalt
- EPDM rubber
- Single-ply membranes
Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Limit foot traffic on the covering
- Never stand on rooflights or fragile sheeting
- Watch the ceilings below the flat roof for stains
- Check that new brackets or units haven’t damaged the covering
Questions about the findings are always welcome. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, giving you a chance to go through what we found.
Small defects are simpler to deal with while they’re still small. Prompt repairs tend to add years to a flat roof.
The survey, step by step
The visit has one job: to see as much of the flat roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Surveys in Streatham Park can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- First you give us the address, what the roof covers and any leaks you’ve noticed.
- We view the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof where it’s safe to do so.
- Every part of the roof we can see is checked: covering, falls, upstands, outlets, trims and rooflights.
- Inside, we look for damp and staining under the roof where there’s access.
- We send a written report with photos, the defects we found and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Streatham Park
No flat roof covering lasts for ever. Felt roofs often last around 15 to 20 years, EPDM often 30 to 50 years and GRP up to about 30, although how well it was laid and looked after matters a great deal. We can tell you how your roof is doing, whatever its age.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- A sagging deck under the covering
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Splits, cracks and crazing
If you let a flat or house near Streatham station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
What to check before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will the report include photos?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Is VAT included in the price?

Local flat roofs in Streatham Park
With Kingswood House about 2.6 miles east, Streatham Park sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in Streatham Park is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Next to the main roofs there is usually a flat roof somewhere, whether on an extension, a garage or a commercial unit.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Streatham Park, along with any off-street space. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Parish Church of St Alban, the joins between later flat roofs and the old walls are where problems typically start.
