New roof snagging in Brent Park, Greater London
New roof snagging in Brent Park from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
New roof snagging in Brent Park
Building work can leave a mess behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. It is all recorded with photos. Gutters full of offcuts can overflow in the next heavy rain, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. We’re frequently asked to look into poorly finished verges and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, across loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
Many London homes have been converted into flats, extended at the back or given a loft conversion with a dormer. Each change adds roof details, like flat roofs, new flashings and junctions with the original slopes. If you are buying a flat or house in Brent Park, 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.
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, whichever applies.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What else we do in Brent Park
What we are asked to look at in Brent Park
Roofers do not always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
As a London address, Brent Park can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway as you book, as a space near the door cannot be promised.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. From the street, a London terrace typically shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Brent Park moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, 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.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Let us know about parking near the property

Advice
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. Everyone then knows what to expect and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
Brent Park homes and their roofs
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Pitzhanger Manor, about 3.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Brent Park. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Stonebridge Park station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The size of the roof
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Which survey package you book
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
FAQs for Brent Park
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Brent Park?
Parking in Brent Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Brent Park?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site, and longer for large or complex roofs.
Do you work in Brent Park?
Yes, we do. We carry out new roof snagging in Brent Park, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What this survey can’t tell you
It’s useful to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
