Common questions in Hampton Hill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hampton Hill?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Hampton Hill is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is my home in Hampton Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, we report on the roof and don’t take sides. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
New roof snagging in Hampton Hill
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the roof space for condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. It all goes in the report. If you’re worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and verge tiles or slates not secured, we can find out what’s behind it.
In London, lots of houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Each change adds roof details, like flat roofs, new flashings and junctions with the original slopes. If you are buying a flat or house in Hampton Hill, or have just had new roofing work done, those junctions are often where problems start. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Common roof problems in Hampton Hill
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Gutters blocked by building debris
If you own a rental within reach of Fulwell station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Will the report include photos?
- Are they insured for the work?
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Hampton Hill moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Useful tips for Hampton Hill property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. If there is a dispute, it is between you and your roofer or builder; we report on what we see.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
