Belgravia New Roof Snagging
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Belgravia, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a London area like Belgravia, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at what can be seen safely from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- We agree what to focus on, like 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.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Leave side gates unlocked

New roof snagging in Belgravia
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. Typical surveys look at gutters or fascias damaged during the job and verge tiles or slates not secured, across new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs.
In London, lots 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. If you are buying a flat or house in Belgravia, or have just had new roofing work done, those junctions are often where problems start. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What affects the price in Belgravia
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- What made you get in touch
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. In Belgravia, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT.

What we’re asked to look at in Belgravia
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Offcuts and broken pieces frequently end up in the gutters and on extension roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Damage to other parts of the building
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Peter's Church, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder
- Pricing the remedial work
- What’s under the new coverings

Belgravia questions
Is parking a problem for a survey in Belgravia?
Usually it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Do you cover Belgravia?
Yes, Belgravia is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when booking.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Belgravia homes and their roofs
Historic houses such as Apsley House, about 0.4 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Belgravia 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. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For a London address like Belgravia, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space. For landlords with property near London Victoria station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
