We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Bellingham
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. It’s all recorded with photos. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. If you’re worried about gutters or fascias damaged during the job and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In London, lots of houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Every alteration brings new junctions, flashings and flat-roof areas to look at. If you are buying a flat or house in Bellingham, or have just had new roofing work done, those junctions are often where problems start. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do 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 about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a London area like Bellingham, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at whatever is safely visible from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Any roof job in Bellingham means planning around parking, neighbours and access. That is a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan.

- Parts of the roof we can’t see safely
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Legal advice on your contract

What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: 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.

Local roofs and buyers in Bellingham
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in Bellingham is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 2.5 miles west lies Kingswood House, a reminder of how long the area around Bellingham has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like St Dunstan are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are. Bellingham is in London, so parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier, as a space near the door cannot be promised. For landlords with property near Bellingham station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Bellingham: your questions answered
Do you cover Bellingham?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is my home in Bellingham listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we check everything we can see safely.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
