How a roof survey works in Hampton Hill
There is no single reason to have a roof surveyed. Some have spotted a stain or a slipped slate, while others just want to know where they stand. Whatever the reason, the survey works the same way: a careful look, then a clear written report. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, so finding a time is rarely difficult. We survey flat roofs, lead flashings and clay and concrete tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings that have come away from the wall and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. If your home in Hampton Hill has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What made you get in touch

If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Local roofs in Hampton Hill
The wider area around Hampton Hill has a long history of building, with Strawberry Hill House about 1.2 miles north-east. 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 your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you live near a park such as Carlisle Park, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys. Anyone responsible for a site like Hampton Hill Junior School will know that large buildings have long gutter runs and big roofs that need checking like any other. Take an older house close to Hampton Hill United Reformed Church: corroded nails, tired lead and weathered chimney pointing are the things to watch on older roofs.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In Hampton Hill, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.

Useful tips for Hampton Hill property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Mention any flat roofs as well as the main roof
- Keep the report with your property records
- Clear the loft hatch area before we arrive
- Mention any damp patches as you book
Premium comes with a follow-up after 12 months. It shows how the roof has fared over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. Watch for stains, damp timbers and daylight through the roof. Take photos of anything that changes.

FAQs for Hampton Hill
Is drone flying allowed in Hampton Hill?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Across London there are restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, plus restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
I let a flat near Fulwell station. Can you check the roof?
Yes. We survey roofs for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as owners. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you need.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Does a roof survey replace a structural engineer?
No. If we see signs that need an engineer, such as serious sagging, we will say so. We do not provide structural calculations.
What if it rains on the day?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
How much is a survey?
Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT.
What do you check on a roof survey?
Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, along with the loft where it is safe. You get a report with photos and recommendations.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen 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.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Different roofs, different checks
Clay plain and peg tiles
Clay tiles are common on older South East homes. When pegs or battens rot, tiles slip, leaving gaps along the courses.
Natural slate
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, yet the nails holding it often fail long before the slate. Slipped, cracked and missing slates are all noted, and for clips that show past repairs.
