Hampton Surveyors covers the whole of Greater London and the surrounding South East region. Local experts, wherever you are.
We're based in Hampton, which puts us at the heart of one of London's most varied and interesting property markets. From the elegant riverside properties near Hampton Court and East Molesey, to the Victorian terraces of Twickenham, the post-war semis of Feltham and the sprawling suburban homes of Kingston upon Thames — our team knows this area's housing stock inside out.
That local knowledge matters enormously when you're commissioning a survey. We know which roads tend to have subsidence problems, where Japanese knotweed has been an issue, which areas have high groundwater levels, and what the typical structural challenges are for properties built in different eras across this part of West London.
While our heartland is Hampton and the surrounding TW postcodes, our surveying services extend across all of Greater London and into the South East. If you're not sure whether we cover your property, just get in touch — we'll always do our best to help.

Our home base. Hampton is a characterful south-west London suburb best known for its leafy streets, the landmark Hampton Court Palace and the River Thames. The housing stock is a real mix — large Edwardian detached homes, 1930s semis, post-war terraces and modern riverside apartments. Common survey findings include damp in period properties, aging roof coverings and lateral movement cracks in Victorian-era chimney stacks.
Surveying Services in HamptonTwickenham is a vibrant town with an incredibly varied property landscape, from grand Victorian villas along the riverfront to terraced streets near the famous rugby stadium. We carry out dozens of surveys here each year. Victorian and Edwardian properties dominate, and we regularly identify damp, woodworm, slate tile deterioration and structural movement — all things that a good survey catches before they cost you thousands.
Surveying Services in TwickenhamFeltham is a popular choice for first-time buyers thanks to its relatively affordable property prices and excellent transport links. Much of the housing here dates from the 1930s to 1960s, with pockets of more recent development. Common survey issues in Feltham include cavity wall insulation problems, asbestos in older properties, and roof wear on houses approaching the 80–100 year mark. These are exactly the kind of costly surprises a good survey will help you avoid.
Surveying Services in FelthamThe stretch along the Thames near Hampton Court Palace features some of the most desirable — and complex — residential property in the whole of Surrey and Greater London. Many homes here are period properties with significant history, and some sit within conservation areas. Our building surveyors have extensive experience with the unique challenges of pre-Victorian and Tudor-era properties in this area, including traditional lime mortar construction, old timber frames and basement flood risk.
Surveying Services near Hampton CourtKingston is one of South West London's major commercial and residential hubs. The property market here includes everything from period terraces and interwar semis to modern town-centre apartments and riverside penthouses. We survey all property types in Kingston and are very familiar with the specific issues affecting buildings near the Thames flood plain, including potential flood risk, damp ingress and ground movement. We also carry out many snagging surveys on new-build developments in and around Kingston town centre.
Surveying Services in KingstonRichmond is consistently ranked among London's most desirable places to live, with premium property prices to match. The housing ranges from stunning Georgian townhouses and substantial Victorian villas to modern flats. Given the high values involved, commissioning a thorough Level 3 Building Survey before purchasing a Richmond property is not just sensible — it's essential. Our surveyors have saved clients significant sums by identifying issues that allowed for successful price renegotiation.
Surveying Services in RichmondSunbury is a quieter, largely suburban area on the Surrey/London border that attracts families looking for space and riverside living at a lower price point than many neighbouring areas. The housing stock includes a mix of post-war semis and detached homes, with some older Victorian properties near the village centre. We regularly cover surveys in Sunbury and are familiar with the specific drainage and flood risk considerations that apply to properties in this area of the Thames Valley.
Surveying Services in SunburyWhitton and Hanworth are popular residential areas between Twickenham and Feltham. The housing here is predominantly interwar — built between the 1920s and 1940s — with a characteristic mix of semi-detached and terraced homes. Typical survey findings in this area include flat-roof extensions in poor condition, outdated single-glazing, aging boiler systems and wall tie corrosion in cavity-wall properties from the 1930s.

Check If We Cover Your AreaWe serve all of the following areas, and many more. If your area isn't listed, please contact us — we're always happy to discuss coverage for your property.
There's a common misconception that a property survey is simply a checklist exercise — the same job wherever the property is located. In reality, local knowledge can make a huge difference to the quality and usefulness of a survey report.
Take the TW12 area around Hampton as an example. Many of the Victorian properties here were built with lime mortar, which behaves very differently to modern cement-based mortars — it's more flexible and breathable, but requires specific maintenance and repair approaches. A surveyor without experience of these older buildings might flag lime mortar as a defect, when in fact it's entirely appropriate for the construction.
Similarly, properties close to the Thames in Hampton, Hampton Court, Sunbury and East Molesey carry specific flood risk considerations. A surveyor who knows this area will know which streets have flood risk designations, will look for historical watermarks, and will advise on appropriate insurance and mitigation measures — not just note that the property is near a river.
Our knowledge of common local issues — including the Japanese knotweed history in certain parts of the TW13 area, the sulfate attack affecting older concrete in some post-war Feltham estates, and the mining/chalk issues that can affect properties in outer South East London — allows us to provide survey reports that are genuinely tailored to the property and its specific location.
Yes, absolutely. While Hampton and the TW postcodes are our heartland, Hampton Surveyors regularly carries out surveys across all of Greater London and the surrounding South East — including KT, SM, SW, W, UB and many other postcode areas. If you're unsure, just get in touch with the property address and we'll confirm coverage immediately.
We cover the whole of Greater London and most of the South East without any surcharge. For properties significantly further afield — for example, in the North or Midlands — we may need to refer you to a local RICS-regulated firm in that area. We're always happy to recommend trusted colleagues if we can't help directly.
No — our quoted prices include all travel costs within Greater London and the immediate surrounding counties. We don't add hidden travel surcharges. The price we quote is the price you pay.
Twickenham has a high proportion of Victorian and Edwardian properties. Common findings in our surveys of these homes include: penetrating and rising damp in solid brick walls, aging slate roof coverings requiring replacement, deteriorating lead flashings, woodworm in roof and floor timbers, structural movement cracks (often minor, but sometimes indicating more serious foundation issues), and flat-roof extensions in poor condition. A thorough survey — especially a Level 3 Building Survey — will identify all of these and give you realistic cost estimates for any remedial work needed.
We understand that property transactions can move quickly and chains can be time-sensitive. Where our diary allows, we can sometimes accommodate urgent surveys on short notice. Contact us with your requirements and we'll do our best to help. For most bookings, we can typically arrange a survey within 5–7 working days of confirmation.
