About our flat roof survey in Sudbury Hill
Buying a home with a flat-roofed extension, dormer or garage? It is useful to know that roof’s condition before you 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 a photo of every defect. That gives you facts to raise with the seller or agent. Typical surveys look at edge trims that have lifted or split and leaks around rooflights, on felt flat roofs, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber.
Across London, flat roofs are everywhere, from back additions and dormers to roof terraces, blocks of flats and offices. Coverings range from felt and asphalt to EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and single-ply membranes, and each fails in its own way. Which one is on a roof in Sudbury Hill shapes how it is checked. Many older flat roofs are felt or asphalt, and many newer ones EPDM rubber or GRP.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

FAQs for Sudbury Hill
Can you look at the flat roof of a hotel or office near Sudbury Hill?
Yes, we cover commercial roofs as well as homes. Access to the roof is sorted out with whoever manages the building before the day.
Is my home in Sudbury Hill listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Is Sudbury Hill in your area?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Sudbury Hill.
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.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How do I book a survey in Sudbury Hill?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Signs you need a flat roof survey in Sudbury Hill
Flat roofs frequently get walked on for other jobs: to clean windows, fit aerials or air conditioning units, or reach a gutter. Each visit can damage a covering not made for regular foot traffic. New brackets and fixings through the roof are another common source of leaks.
We are often asked to look at:
- Splits, cracks and crazing
- Failed upstands where the roof meets a wall
- Loose or cracked edge trims
- Blistering in felt or asphalt
The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, any flat roof added at the back or on a dormer is likely to be far younger, and less durable, than the main roof.
What to check before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How soon the report will arrive
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Why it’s worth a survey now in Sudbury Hill
By the time a flat roof leak shows indoors, water has already passed through the roof build-up. We can pick up worn covering and failing details sooner, so you can plan the work rather than react to it. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.

How it works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a visit in Sudbury Hill, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree the roof to be surveyed, its use and any leaks you know about.
- We check the roof from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- The covering is checked for wear, splits, blisters and standing water.
- We photograph and record the outlets, upstands, trims and rooflights.
- The report, with photos and recommendations, comes to you by email.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

- Fragile surfaces, which we do not walk on

- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

What this survey covers
- Upstands and outlets
- Mastic asphalt
- GRP fibreglass
- EPDM rubber
- Single-ply membranes
- Felt flat roofs
Roof by roof
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. Any we find are noted and photographed.
Felt and built-up roofs
Many extensions, garages and dormers have a felt roof laid in layers. The survey checks for blisters, cracks, open laps and bare patches where the surfacing has worn.
Flat roof surveys around Sudbury Hill
The wider area around Sudbury Hill has a long history of building, with Northolt Manor about 2.2 miles west. 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. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Flat roofs fill the gaps in between, on extensions, garages, dormers and business premises.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sudbury Primary School will know that large flat roofs, common on schools and other public buildings, need their outlets, upstands and coverings checked regularly. If you own a rental within reach of Sudbury & Harrow Road station, a flat roof over a rented flat is easy to forget until the tenant reports a leak.
