Landlord and commercial surveys in Blendon

Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
New roof snagging in Blendon
Our snagging inspections cover Blendon and the rest of London and South East England. Time on site usually takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at including by drone where applicable. You then get a photo-illustrated written report. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’re worried about missing or blocked roof ventilation and tiles or slates sitting out of line, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and ridges and verges alike.
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 Blendon, or have just had new roofing work done, those junctions are frequently where problems start. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. In Blendon, 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. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.

When to book a survey in Blendon
Flashings at walls and chimneys frequently need attention. If they’re poorly dressed or fixed, water can get in sooner rather than later.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Untidy or loose verge details
For an older house near a landmark like St James the Great, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- What follow-up you get after the report
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is frequently 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 you book.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets in another room
How to book
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

New roof snagging around Blendon
With Danson House about 0.7 miles north, Blendon sits in an area with a long building history. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you let a flat or house near Albany Park station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. Parking in Blendon, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier.

Useful tips for Blendon property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Diary the defects period end date
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so it needs to be finished well. The lining and the cut coverings along it are checked.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.

Common questions in Blendon
Is Blendon in the area you cover?
Yes, Blendon is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Is my home in Blendon listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Blendon?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
