Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
New roof snagging in Brunswick Park
Householders book snagging after a re-roof or roof replacement, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, from the ground, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. Common reasons to book are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and underlay ending short at the eaves, across new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges.
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 Brunswick Park or checking a new roof there: only the parts we’re given access to and can see safely are inspected. If it is a flat, the lease usually sets out who is responsible for the roof.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

- Damage to other parts of the building
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
For landlords with property near New Southgate station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What’s outside the scope of the survey

- Is VAT included in the price?
Prices for new roof snagging in Brunswick Park
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

What else we do in Brunswick Park
What new roof snagging looks like in Brunswick Park
With Bruce Castle about 3.6 miles south-east, Brunswick Park sits in an area with a long building history. If yours is one of the older homes, 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. Outer London has a good many 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. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For a London address like Brunswick Park, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day. For an older house near a landmark like Oakleigh Community Church, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a visit in Brunswick Park, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us 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 ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We look in the loft space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey

Questions from Brunswick Park
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Brunswick Park?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Brunswick Park?
Yes, Brunswick Park is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Brunswick Park as anywhere else.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
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 is safe and check for damage left by the job.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Brunswick Park
Photos from the ground rarely show the detail. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where it applies. London’s older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
