About our new roof snagging in Brentford End
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it does set out clearly what we found. Typical surveys look at gutters or fascias damaged during the job and loose flashings at walls or chimneys, across loft conversions and dormers, new-build homes and replacement roofs.
London’s housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war estates and new blocks of flats, and a home in Brentford End could be any of them. Whether the roof is old or newly laid, the problem areas depend on how and when the building went up. Slate roofs, butterfly valleys, parapet gutters and flat-roofed rear additions each have their own weak points.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What happens if roof problems are left?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

Common questions in Brentford End
Is Brentford End in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Brentford End is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Brentford End?
Usually it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long does new roof snagging take?
It normally takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You will know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden, but we look at everything we can see safely.
New roof snagging around Brentford End
Syon House, about 0.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Brentford End. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Brentford End, along with any off-street space. If you own a rental within reach of Syon Lane station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

What we are asked to look at in Brentford End
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
The streets around a church like Church of St Lawrence are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Their insurance cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. For a visit in Brentford End, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
