Buying a home or a new roof in Angell Town
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. With Buckingham Palace about 2.6 miles north-west, Angell Town sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Angell Town, along with any off-street space. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

About our new roof snagging in Angell Town
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Typical surveys look at damage to other parts of the building and offcuts and broken tiles left behind, across replacement roofs, ridges and verges and new flat roofs.

Slate roofs, butterfly valleys, parapet gutters and flat-roofed rear additions each have their own weak points.

When to book a survey in Angell Town
Flashings at walls and chimneys often need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
Landlords with a home close to Loughborough Junction station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Before booking anyone
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In Angell Town, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it is useful to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photographs.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check before your warranty period ends
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
