How a landlord roof survey works in Hampton Wick
With a shared roof, it’s not always clear what’s wrong or where. We check the roof from every safe viewpoint including the loft and flats where access is arranged. The report records the condition of each part giving all parties the same information. We can only inspect the parts of a shared roof we are allowed to reach. We survey shared roofs, rented houses and blocks of flats, and people most often book us about parapets and upstands in poor repair and flashings that have come away.
A London butterfly roof slopes down to a central valley gutter that drains to the back of the house. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in Hampton Wick with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

What happens on the day
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a London area like Hampton Wick, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us 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 loft space and the roof where safe.
- The report records areas we couldn’t access.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Hampton Wick
With Hampton Court Palace about 1.4 miles south-west, Hampton Wick 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. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them.
For landlords with property near Hampton Wick station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let. Living close to Canbury Gardens is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn. For businesses in and around places like Bentall Centre, a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

Roof by roof
Shared chimney stacks
Damp in a chimney breast can start at the top of the stack. We note what we can see.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Most let houses and many blocks have pitched roofs of slate or tiles. Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys and flashings are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
Questions from Hampton Wick
Is my home in Hampton Wick listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Hampton Wick?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
How long will you be on site?
Most visits to a house take about 1–2 hours, with blocks and complex roofs taking longer.
Will you need to get into tenants’ homes?
We may do. If the loft space or a flat roof is reached through a flat, we need access to it so please give residents notice.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. 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.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
- Arrange flat access in advance
- Book gutter clearing at least once a year
- Ask your managing agent about lease terms
Report times depend on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Pick the package that suits the building and your timescale.
Keep gutters and outlets clear, particularly on blocks with valleys or parapets. Many leaks into top flats start with a blocked gutter.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Hampton Wick
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In Hampton Wick, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Checking the roof from ground level
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 check the roof.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
