What the inspection should establish
Felt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and asphalt each need their own preparation and repair materials. The survey should assess the deck beneath the covering as well as the visible surface. A patch cannot correct rotten boards, unsuitable falls or a persistently blocked outlet.
Reasons to arrange an inspection
Split felt and blisters; detached EPDM seams; cracked GRP details; leaking asphalt junctions; ponding and faulty outlets; leaks around pipes and rooflights.
Before work starts in Bromley
Mention shared entrances, roof terraces and any route through the house when arranging an inspection. A safe access plan depends on the building and the work. Where scaffold occupies a pavement or road, the appropriate highway licence is needed; check who will arrange it and any parking suspension.
For a flat or converted house, establish who can authorise work to the roof. Leaseholders may need the freeholder or managing agent involved. Ask about planning and conservation requirements through Bromley Council, particularly for a listed building or a change in roof appearance.
The main stages of the job
- Survey and evidence: Identify the membrane and trace leaks around seams, outlets, rooflights and wall upstands.
- Assess deck condition and safe access without asking the homeowner to walk on the roof.
- Prepare a clean, dry, sound repair area and agree replacement of damaged decking or wet insulation where necessary.
- Use compatible primers, patches or resin details following the system instructions; reinstate sound upstands and drainage connections.
- Check drainage and the completed junctions, remove debris and explain maintenance and the limits of any repair guarantee.
Persistent ponding needs investigation into the outlet, falls and supporting deck. An overlay is only suitable where the existing construction and the proposed system are compatible; it should not hide trapped moisture.
What affects your quotation in Bromley
As an indication of the range of jobs, allow £250–£1,800. A small accessible patch costs less than rebuilding an upstand or replacing wet decking. Rooflights, parapets and access above glass extensions can increase the work considerably. This is not a fixed tariff or an upper limit.
Ask for separate allowances for access, disposal and making good. Confirm VAT, the specified materials and the procedure for approving hidden defects before additional work is done. Two prices are only comparable when they cover the same work and materials.

Can rubber be laid over my existing felt roof?
Possibly, but only after the roofer checks the deck, moisture and compatibility with the proposed system. Some roofs need stripping or an approved separation layer. A covering should not be laid over rotten boards.
