About our new roof snagging in Brondesbury Park
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. You get a written list of snags with photos, ready to pass on before the deadline. We survey new flat roofs, loft conversions and dormers and flashings and valleys, and people most often book us about gaps at new flashings and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
In a London terrace or conversion, the roof often joins the neighbours’ roofs and shares their stacks and gutters, with parapet walls and party-wall upstands marking where one roof ends and the next begins. That matters for anyone buying in Brondesbury Park or checking a new roof there: we inspect what we’re given access to and can see safely, which may not include a neighbour’s side. If it is a flat, the lease usually sets out who is responsible for the roof.
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.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
The underlay should be dressed into the gutter at the eaves so water drains away. We look at it where it can be seen.
Valleys
Valleys carry a lot of water, so it needs to be finished well. We look at the valley lining and the cut tiles or slates beside it.
For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time.
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Brondesbury Park moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

New roof snagging around Brondesbury Park
About 2.9 miles west lies Northolt Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Brondesbury Park 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. Outer London has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Parking in Brondesbury Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier. For landlords with property near Wembley Central station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Brondesbury Park
Do you cover Brondesbury Park?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Brondesbury Park is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We don’t open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
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.

When to book a survey in Brondesbury Park
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground and you may be asked to pay anyway.
We are often asked to look at:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
If you live in an older home near Church of St John, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
