New roof snagging in Barnehurst: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen, and we look at the gutters too. The report sets out what we found with photos. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and new-build homes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and debris left in gutters or valleys.
In London, plenty of houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Each change adds roof details, such as flat roofs, new flashings and junctions with the original slopes. For a purchase in Barnehurst, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a close look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

How we price new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the roof
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Questions from Barnehurst
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Barnehurst?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Barnehurst?
It can be, so it helps to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Do you work in Barnehurst?
Yes. We cover Barnehurst and the rest of Greater London. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How long will you be on site?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that is passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Barnehurst
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
Problems we come across often include:
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
Landlords with a home close to Barnehurst station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What new roof snagging does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Pricing the remedial work
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement

New roof snagging in Barnehurst: local notes
About 1 mile south-west lies Hall Place and Gardens, a reminder of how long the area around Barnehurst has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Paulinus, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. As a London address, Barnehurst can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking, as a space near the door can’t be promised.

How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is often seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us when booking.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear
