About our roof survey in Hanger Hill
A roof survey tells you what condition your roof is in, before small faults become big ones. We look at the coverings, the ridges and hips, the valleys and flashings, the chimneys and the gutters, along with the loft where it’s safe to get in. The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations. Where it’s relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey natural slate, flat roofs and chimney stacks, and people most frequently book us about gutters that overflow in heavy rain and loose chimney pots.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Slates can last a century or more, but the nails holding them corrode, and slates slip. In Hanger Hill, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a careful look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a careful look too.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Why act early in Hanger Hill
Leaving it means relying on what you can see from ground level. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or miss the fault that matters. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. In Hanger Hill, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What you get with us
- An independent look at the roof

Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Hanger Hill runs like any other.
- You let us know about the property and any concerns.
- We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
- We look at the roof from each safe vantage point, inside and out.
- Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Related advice
What we are asked to look at in Hanger Hill
Slates and tiles frequently outlast the fixings that hold them. On slate roofs, corroded nails let slates slip, which is known as ‘nail fatigue’. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
With Pitzhanger Manor about 1.2 miles south-west, the area around Hanger Hill has a long history. If you own one of the older houses, the roof may have been repaired many times, and the survey records how each part is holding up.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report

Local roofs in Hanger Hill
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. 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. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Living close to Ealing Common is pleasant, but mature trees mean leaves in gutters and valleys each autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching. If you let a flat or house near Acton Main Line station, a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.
