What affects the price in Hampden Park
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hampden Park
The lease normally decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We do not give legal advice on leases but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. It helps owners and managers discuss the next steps from the same facts. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. Common reasons to book are cracked or leaning shared chimneys and ponding or splits on flat roofs, across shared roofs, gutters and downpipes and converted houses.
In a smaller place like Hampden Park, homes range from older cottages to bungalows and newer houses. Older roofs can have slate, clay tiles or other traditional coverings, while many later ones have concrete tiles. Chimneys, valleys and gutters on older homes often need the most attention, and the fixings under the coverings matter too. Nails and battens under older coverings often give out before the slates or tiles themselves.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a block or a building with several roofs. A visit to a smaller place like Hampden Park is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It is useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You let us know about the building, its roofs and any known leaks.
- We let you know which flats and hatches we need to reach.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- Findings and recommendations are set out with photos.
How to prepare
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

FAQs for Hampden Park
Is my home in Hampden Park listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Hampden Park within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
Can your report let us know who pays for the roof work?
No. Who pays is typically set by the lease and we do not give legal advice. What we provide is a clear record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Hampden Park
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.
What we’re asked to look at in Hampden Park
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Damaged pots and flaunching
- Parapets and upstands in poor repair
Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Their report turnaround times

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Hampden Park homes and their roofs
Hampden Park is within about 2 miles of the coast, where sea air brings more salt and stronger wind than inland. Salt corrodes metal fixings and flashings, and wind lifts loose slates, tiles and ridge pieces, while driving rain finds any gap. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
If you own a rental within reach of Hampden Park station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. Living close to Princes Park is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.
