About our new roof snagging in Bandonhill
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs along with any damage to other parts of the property. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them and damage to lower roofs can let water through. It’s easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you’re worried about vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, we can find out what’s behind it.
Homes across London range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war blocks and new developments, so a property in Bandonhill might be any of these. Whether you’re buying or have just had a roof replaced, the details that cause trouble depend on the age of the building. Slate roofs, butterfly valleys, parapet gutters and flat-roofed rear additions each have their own weak points.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

How the survey changes by roof type
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are checked closely.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- How the roof will perform for years to come
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
Why act early in Bandonhill
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

What else we do in Bandonhill
Bandonhill questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Bandonhill?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is Bandonhill in the area you cover?
Yes, Bandonhill is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Buying a home or a new roof in Bandonhill
The wider area around Bandonhill has a long history of building, with Addington Palace about 4 miles east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Bandonhill. If you own a rental within reach of Waddon station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In Bandonhill, as in much of London, lots of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us as you book.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Tips from our surveys
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
