Landlord roof survey in Hampton Hill, Greater London
Landlord roof surveys in Hampton Hill, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Slate and tiled pitched roofs are common on let and shared buildings. We check coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings as far as can safely be seen.
Roof spaces and lofts
Older roofs may have bitumen felt underlay or none at all. We note what we see from inside.
Landlord roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hampton Hill
Access needs arranging before a survey of a let or shared building. We may need to get into the roof space and some or all of the flats and residents will need to be told in advance. Your agent or you arrange access, and we confirm what we need when you book. Any part we couldn’t reach is noted in the report. Common reasons to book are worn ridges, hips and verges and parapets and upstands in poor repair, on blocks of flats, rented houses and shared roofs.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces are found right across London, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. In Hampton Hill, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Your questions about landlord roof surveys in Hampton Hill
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Hampton Hill?
Sometimes, yes. If Hampton Hill has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Is my home in Hampton Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Hampton Hill in your area?
Yes. We cover Hampton Hill and the rest of Greater London. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
What we can’t see
It is useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- The structure in the way a structural engineer would assess it
- Parts of the roof we can’t safely see or access

What else we do in Hampton Hill
What a landlord roof survey looks like in Hampton Hill
Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. About 1.2 miles north-east lies Strawberry Hill House, a reminder of how long the area around Hampton Hill has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you run a business near Bentall Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks. Trees in and around Carlisle Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.
Hampton Hill is about 2 miles south-west of Twickenham, in Greater London. If you are in Hampton Hill, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Hampton Hill is one of the places in Greater London we cover for landlord roof surveys. You can also see our page for London.
Landlord roof surveys in TW12, TW11 and TW2 are booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as Mays Road, Park Road and Holly Road. With the A311 and A313 close by, Hampton Hill is simple for us to get to for landlord roof surveys. We also cover the places around Hampton Hill: Fulwell (1 mile north-east), Hampton (1 mile west), Teddington (1 mile east), Hanworth (1 mile west) and Strawberry Hill (1 mile north-east).

Around Hampton Hill
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Lady Eleanor Holles School, Park Hotel and Carlisle Park. For rail, the closest station is Fulwell station, roughly 0.6 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Bentall Centre (2.4 miles south-east) and Metropolitan Traffic Police Museum (0.9 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Richmond Hill and Kew Gardens Lake.
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.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What we are asked to look at in Hampton Hill
Agents and freeholders have budgets to set. Without a recent survey, it is hard to know what the roof needs and how soon.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Ponding or splits on flat roofs
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Ceiling stains reported by tenants
- Damaged pots and flaunching
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Hampton Hill United Reformed Church, corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their report turnaround times
- What experience they bring
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes about one to two hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Hampton Hill we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We start by agreeing the scope, roof by roof.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged with you ahead of time.
- The roofs are inspected from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where it’s safe.
- We photograph each defect and note how urgent it looks.
- You get a written condition report to help plan maintenance.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

Advice
Prices for landlord roof surveys in Hampton Hill
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
What to tell us when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.
