About our flat roof survey in West Green
Each flat roof is looked at from the safest viewpoints we have: from the roof itself where that’s safe, from windows and nearby vantage points, and from inside where there is access. We do not walk on fragile rooflights or fragile roof sheeting. If part of the roof can’t be seen or reached safely, the report says so, so the limits of the survey are clear. If you’ve noticed failed seals around rooflight kerbs and gaps at upstands and abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
On a London roof terrace or a flat roof over a back addition, water frequently runs under the covering before it shows. Upstands against parapets, outlets and the edge where flat meets pitched are common entry points. In a block or conversion in West Green, the flat roof is often a shared part of the building.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Landlord and commercial surveys in West Green
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed in advance. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which can make access easier.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Areas we cannot see or reach safely, including fragile rooflights and sheeting
- A structural engineer’s assessment of the deck
- Asbestos testing, which needs a specialist asbestos surveyor

How the survey works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In West Green, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. 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.
- We start with the address and, on larger roofs, the roof area and access.
- We check the rooms or spaces under the roof for staining where there is access.
- We view the roof from safe positions and never walk on fragile surfaces.
- Each defect is photographed and its likely cause noted.
- The report explains the condition and recommends what to do first.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Advice
What a flat roof survey looks like in West Green
The wider area around West Green has a long history of building, with Bruce Castle about 1.1 miles north-east. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. If your home in West Green is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Alongside them, flat-roofed extensions, dormers, garages and commercial units are common almost everywhere.
If you live in an older home near St Philip the Apostle, flat-roofed rear additions and dormers added over the years are worth checking. As a London address, West Green can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when you book, as a space near the door can’t be promised. If you run a business near The Mall Wood Green, the flat roofs over shops and commercial units are worth checking before a leak, not after.

What we look for on each type of roof
Mastic asphalt
Asphalt has no laps, so its weak points are cracks and the skirtings at walls and upstands. Our report notes crazing, cracks and any likely entry points.
EPDM rubber
Lifting at the edges and loose areas of membrane are common EPDM problems. Any we find are noted and photographed.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What affects the cost of flat roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Height and safe access
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- When you need the report by

- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
