Safety planning matters on commercial sites in Bexley. Every job is planned under CDM, with a method statement, edge protection and covers over rooflights and fragile areas. If asbestos is found, a licensed specialist surveys and removes it before our work starts, so nobody is put at risk.

Flats, HMOs and block roofs

A block roof in Bexley is a long-term asset, so we talk about whole-life cost as well as the price today. A longer-life system with corrected falls can mean fewer reactive repairs and fewer rounds of consultation over the years, and the survey explains the options in plain terms.

Flat roof surveys and leak tracing

Businesses in Bexley with a flat-roofed building can't plan maintenance around guesswork. A survey sets out what needs doing now, what can wait and roughly what each item will cost, so the work can be scheduled with as little disruption as possible.

What flat roofs are typical in and around Bexley?

In a town like Bexley flat roofs are mostly on shops with flat-roofed stores below flats above and Victorian and Edwardian terraces with flat-roofed back additions. The climate is part of the brief. The Thames basin is one of the drier parts of Britain at roughly 730 mm of rain a year, but summer heat is the bigger test here: dark membranes on south-facing roofs swing a long way in temperature. Approximate 1991–2020 regional averages based on Met Office data.

Who approves flat roof work in Bexley?

Where approval is needed it goes to London Borough of Bexley building control, or a registered building control approver.
