What affects the price in Hatton
To price your survey, we check:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hatton
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where it applies, is also part of our Premium Survey, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. We’ll tell you if a drone is not the right tool for your roof. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. Common reasons to book are slates or tiles shifted by high winds and standing water on a flat roof, across tall and steep roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and chimney stacks.
London airspace is busy and tightly controlled: there are flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every address in Hatton is checked before any drone flight, and where permission is needed, the flight waits for it.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Common questions in Hatton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hatton?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Hatton?
It can be, so it helps to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
How long does the visit take?
It typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. That includes the checks before the drone goes up.
Will you photograph next door’s garden?
We keep the camera on the roof we’re surveying. We only survey what the owner has asked us to. If your roof is shared, it’s useful to tell your neighbours about the visit.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will the drone show what’s under the tiles?
No. A drone shows the outside surfaces of the roof in close detail, but it cannot see under the coverings. Where there is safe access, we check the roof space from inside.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Why act early in Hatton
On a tall building, problems are often found only when water comes in. By that stage the damage has spread inside. Looking from above picks up the early signs. Any roof job in Hatton means planning around parking, neighbours and access. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. In Hatton, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photos of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Hatton
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.
Airspace, weather and Hatton roofs
Hatton is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. We ask the airport for permission before flying there, and only fly if it’s given. About 3.4 miles north-east lies Osterley House, a reminder of how long the area around Hatton has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Take an older house close to The Parish Church of the Good Shepherd: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. Take a building like Cranford Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. For a London address like Hatton, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day.
Hatton is about 1 mile north of Feltham, in Greater London.

A little further out are Treaty Centre (2.5 miles east) and Harlington (1.9 miles north-west). The countryside around Hatton includes Staines Reservoirs and Crane Meadows.
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Let us know what you want to see
- Book early if you are near an airport
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. Drone photos are included where we could fly, alongside the other checks in the package.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
