Do you need a gutter survey in Hampton?
Hidden gutters are often lined with lead or another sheet covering. Splits and blocked outlets in these gutters can send water straight into the building, because there’s no outer edge for it to spill over. Lead is also a target for theft.
People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Cracked or loose downpipes
- Gutters full of debris and silt
- Overflowing valley or parapet gutters
- Sagging gutters and loose brackets
Landlords with a home close to Hampton station may find that knowing the condition of the roof, chimneys and gutters helps you plan work rather than react to complaints.
Before booking any roof surveyor

- Is VAT included in the price?

Gutter survey in Hampton: what you get
Owners get in touch after seeing an overflow, finding damp or planning ahead for winter. Landlords and managing agents use it to plan maintenance, and some buyers want the rainwater system checked before exchange. Whoever books, we inspect and report in the same way, with photographs and written recommendations. We survey on weekdays and at weekends. Typical surveys look at brackets that have dropped or snapped and dripping or leaking gutter joints, on downpipes, fascias and soffits and parapet and box gutters.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, where the roof is typically a shared part of the building. Whoever looks after the building needs a clear picture of the roof, chimneys and gutters. A defect on a shared roof can reach more than one flat. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photographs.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a visit in Hampton, 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 roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we agree the areas to focus on.
- Each gutter run is checked for blockages, sags and leaking joints.
- Outlets, hoppers, downpipes and overflows are inspected.
- Fascias, soffits and the walls below are looked at for signs of overflow.
- Findings are photographed and set out in a written report.
Before we arrive
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Gutter surveys around Hampton
With Strawberry Hill House about 2 miles north-east, Hampton sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first.
Take a building like Hampton Infant School and Nursery: large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Hampton, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.
Hampton is about 2 miles south-west of Twickenham, in Greater London. From houses to flats and shops in Hampton, the roof can be surveyed. Hampton is one of the places in Greater London we cover for gutter surveys. London is in our area too.
Every address in TW12 and TW11 is covered for gutter surveys, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We offer gutter surveys to properties on Station Road, High Street and Old Farm Road. Hampton sits on or near the A3008, which makes travel easy. Nearby, we also carry out gutter surveys in Hanworth (1 mile north-west), Hampton Hill (1 mile east), West Molesey (1 mile south), Fulwell (1 mile north-east) and East Molesey (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include London (13 miles north-east), City of Westminster (11 miles north-east), Marylebone (12 miles north-east), Kensington (9 miles north-east), St Pancras (13 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (15 miles north-east).
Near you in Hampton
We work in homes and buildings around Jolly Coopers pub, Lady Eleanor Holles School and Carlisle Park. The closest station to Hampton is Hampton station, roughly 0.5 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include Treaty Centre (3.1 miles north) and Teddington Memorial Hospital (1.5 miles east). For a walk, there is Oak Avenue Local Nature Reserve and Richmond Hill.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What affects the price in Hampton
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Hampton: your questions answered
I let a flat near Hampton station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, that is a common request. We just need to know who will give access, and the report can go straight to you or your agent.
How do I find out if my home in Hampton is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, with commercial buildings nearer 3–4 hours.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Are hidden gutters like valleys and box gutters included?
Yes. Hidden gutters are a common cause of leaks inside, so they’re an important part of the survey. Parts of them may not be visible, and the report says so.
How the survey changes by roof type
Aluminium and other metal gutters
Metal gutters are common on commercial buildings and some homes. Joints, outlets and fixings are the parts we focus on.
Cast iron gutters
Plenty of period homes still have cast iron rainwater goods. Kept painted, they can last a long time, but rust where the paint fails.
Useful tips for Hampton property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Check for spilling water in a downpour
- Note any damp stains below the gutters
- Have gutters cleared at least once a year
- Include valley, parapet and box gutters when clearing
Questions about the report are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation.
Have overhanging branches and climbing plants cut back from the roof using someone with the right kit. Less debris means fewer blocked outlets.
