Common questions in Hampton
Do you carry out roof surveys in Hampton?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Hampton is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Hampton?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Tell us what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Should I go up on the roof to take photos?
Please do not climb onto the roof. Take photos from the ground or from windows. Note the date and time, and photograph any damage inside.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do you need to get into 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.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
About our storm damage roof report in Hampton
A storm damage roof report is priced from £150. You get a written report with photos by email. It isn’t a repair quote and doesn’t include repair costs, so ask a roofer to quote for the work. The insurer may still send a loss adjuster of its own. Our report gives you an independent record of the damage and its likely cause. Common reasons to book are stains appearing after strong winds and loose or broken chimney pots and cowls, on gutters and fascias, chimney stacks and slate and tile slopes.
In London, leaks often start somewhere hidden: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. For a leak or storm damage in Hampton, those hidden details are where the inspection begins. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Storm damage roof reports around Hampton
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. If your home in Hampton is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Where water gets in depends a good deal on what the roof is made of and how it is detailed. Historic houses such as Strawberry Hill House, about 2 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Hampton goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own a rental within reach of Hampton station, a clear finding on where water gets in helps you brief a roofer right away. If you run a business near Treaty Centre, a leak can close part of a shop or office, so finding the cause quickly matters. Take a building like Hampton Infant School and Nursery: tracing a leak on a big roof starts with where the water appears and works back.

Different roofs, different checks
Flat roof coverings
On flat roofs, storms can lift edges and tear membranes. Damage is photographed and described.
Slate roofs
In high winds, slates can slip or go, frequently where nails have rusted. We record which slates have moved and any signs of older nail fatigue.
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Don’t go onto the roof to take pictures
- Note the date and time you first saw the damage
- Check your policy for how to report damage
- Keep invoices for temporary repairs
You get the report by email and pass it to your insurer yourself. We do not deal with the insurer on your behalf.
Check the roof from ground level after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Hampton
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Letting agents and landlords in Hampton book surveys as well as homeowners. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Repair costs or quotes for the work
- Your insurer’s view of the claim
- What’s beneath slates, tiles or membranes
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes about one to two hours at a house, and longer if the damage is spread across a large roof. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Hampton we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- You tell us what happened and whether a roofer has made the roof safe.
- We check inside, including the loft where there is access, for water damage.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, windows and the roof where it is safe.
- We record fresh damage and older defects.
- The report, with photos, is emailed to you.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
