About our landlord roof survey in Hampton
Our landlord and block roof surveys cover Hampton and the rest of London and the South East. A visit typically takes between one and two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything is inspected as far as it can be seen safely including by drone where applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We survey converted houses, gutters and downpipes and shared roofs, and people most often book us about loose ridge or hip tiles and failed flashings at walls and chimneys.
In a smaller place like Hampton, 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. On older homes, chimney stacks, valleys and gutters are normally where the work is. The fixings under an older roof frequently fail before good slates or tiles do.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A leak in a block rarely stays in one place. Spotting roof defects early helps protect the whole building. Around Hampton, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.

Hampton questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hampton?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you check the roof?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the building.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you look in the roof space?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you work in Hampton?
Yes, we do. Hampton is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Being in a smaller place like Hampton doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We agree the roofs to be surveyed and what you need the report for.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- Each roof is looked at from safe vantage points and inside where possible.
- Every defect is photographed and its urgency noted where relevant.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Shared stacks need everyone involved to agree work and the report helps with that.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
On older pitched roofs, the fixings and underlay frequently fail before good slates or tiles. The report records it.
What we are asked to look at in Hampton
Reports of leaks or damp from tenants often lead to a survey. The survey helps show whether the roof, gutters or flashings are involved from what’s visible.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Mortar falling from ridges and verges
- Failed flashings at walls and chimneys
- Gutters overflowing onto walls
- Leaking joints at party walls
If you own a rental within reach of Herne Bay station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant.
Before booking anyone
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether the price includes VAT

Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.

- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

What else we do in Hampton
DIY checks: what’s safe
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, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Hampton homes and their roofs
Hampton lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and places near the sea get more salt in the air and more wind than inland. Near the sea, metal fixings wear faster and loose pieces on a roof are more likely to lift. 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 the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church like St Andrew's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, its roof may have old fixings, lead flashings and chimneys that need a closer look. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hampton Primary School, large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other.
