How a roof survey works in Lampton
Many homes have several roofs, not just one. Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers are common. We check them as well as the main pitched roof, looking for ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands. A flat roof typically wears out sooner than a pitched one. A felt roof frequently lasts around 15 to 20 years, and GRP up to about 30. If you’ve noticed torn or sagging underlay and standing water on a flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on clay and concrete tiles, flat roofs and natural slate alike.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, frequently with slate roofs, chimney stacks shared with neighbours and gutters hidden behind parapets. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails frequently give out first and let slates slip. In Lampton, as across London, that is why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we are asked to look at in Lampton
Wherever a roof meets a wall, a chimney or another roof, a flashing keeps water out. Over time lead flashings split, lift or work loose, and mortar fillets crack away from the wall. Lead is also a target for theft.
Look out for signs like these:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
- Worn or blocked valleys
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
If you run a business near Treaty Centre, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Are they insured for the work?
- What happens after the report arrives

Roof surveys in Lampton: local notes
Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each of these coverings has its own weak points, from fixings and valleys to flashings, chimneys and gutters. The wider area around Lampton has a long history of building, with Osterley House about 1.1 miles north. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For landlords with property near Hounslow station, a roof report helps you deal with small faults before they turn into a call from a tenant. Homes near green spaces like Inwood Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Lampton
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What happens on the day
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Lampton moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- We arrive at the agreed time and talk through any concerns.
- We inspect and photograph every part of the roof we can safely see.
- Moisture detection, a structural check, thermal imaging or a drone are added where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Your questions about roof surveys in Lampton
Can a landlord with a rental near Hounslow station book a roof survey?
Yes, that’s a common request. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Lampton?
Typically it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag materials that could contain it, and recommends a specialist asbestos surveyor looks at them.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you look in the loft space?
Typically, if there is one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as a figure. We describe the condition of each part of the roof and how it’s wearing, and we say what needs attention and how urgently.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can typically go ahead in light rain. Strong wind or a downpour can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we will arrange another day with you.
How we price roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- What made you get in touch
- Anything about access we should know
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know where you stand. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaks rarely show up right away. Damp spreads through insulation and timber before anything shows below. From inside the loft space, we can frequently spot it sooner. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
All our prices include VAT. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
