Your questions about roof surveys in Hatton

Are there drone restrictions around Hatton?

Normally it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. The flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport covers Hatton, or comes right up to its edge. Before any flight there, we ask the airport for permission, and the flight only goes ahead if it is given. 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. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.

Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Hatton?

It depends on the street. If Hatton has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.

How do I book a survey in Hatton?

The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.

How much does a roof survey cost in Hatton?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.

Will you check the loft?

If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.

Can you survey at the weekend?

We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.

Roof survey in Hatton

Across London and the South East, roofs differ widely. If your home is a Victorian terrace, it may have Welsh slate, a butterfly roof and parapet gutters, and many post-war homes have concrete interlocking tiles instead. Whatever yours has, the survey is adapted to it. Some older homes have clay tiles, and many have a flat-roofed extension as well. Every part gets the attention it needs. We survey clay and concrete tiles, chimney stacks and the roof space, and people most frequently book us about worn or blocked valleys and cracked or blistered flat roof coverings.

London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. In Hatton, as across London, that is why a roof needs a close look rather than a glance from the street. Lead flashings and shared chimney stacks on these houses need a close look too.

The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

When to book a survey in Hatton

A chimney stack takes more weather than almost any other part of a roof. Pointing erodes, flaunching cracks and pots work loose. Damp on a chimney breast inside often starts at the top of the stack.

Common reasons to book include:

  • Slates or tiles that have slipped or broken
  • Gutters that overflow in heavy rain
  • Cracked or blistered flat roof coverings
  • Worn or blocked valleys

Shop and office owners around Treaty Centre may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak.

Choosing a roof surveyor

  • Whether the inside of the roof is included
  • Their drone registration, if they fly one
  • How soon the report will arrive
  • Which viewpoints they use to see the roof

What’s in a roof survey

For landlords and managing agents

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.

Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photos included.

Why get it checked now?

Leaks rarely show up right away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the roof space, we can often spot it sooner. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.

Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Why us?

  • 5,000+ surveys completed
  • Weekday and weekend surveys
  • Package prices that include VAT
  • Two decades and more of roof surveys

Checking the roof from the ground

The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

Local roofs in Hatton

The flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport covers Hatton, or comes right up to its edge. Where the drone is part of the survey, permission from the airport is needed first, and the flight only goes ahead if it’s given. Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Whatever the covering, it’s often the fixings, flashings, valleys and gutters that give out first.

Trees in and around Hounslow Heath shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. For landlords with property near Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, a dated record of the roof is useful when planning maintenance across a let.

Roof by roof

Concrete interlocking tiles

Many post-war houses have concrete interlocking tiles. They last well, but their surface erodes slowly, and they can crack.

Natural slate

Natural slate can last 100 years or more, but its nails often corrode first. We check for slipped, cracked and missing slates.

The survey, step by step

We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.

  1. You tell us about the property and any concerns.
  2. We agree a date, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday.
  3. The roof is inspected from the ground, windows, the loft and the roof itself where it’s safe.
  4. Every part of the roof is checked and photographed.
  5. Your report arrives by email, with recommendations prioritised by urgency.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
  • Keep pets out of the way during the survey
  • Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
