About our new roof snagging in Bushey Mead
Our snagging inspections cover Bushey Mead and the rest of London and the South East. Time on site normally takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. We’re frequently asked to look into flashings not properly dressed or fixed and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, on new flat roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes.
London’s housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war estates and new blocks of flats, and a home in Bushey Mead could be any of them. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, the details that cause trouble depend on the age of the building. Slate roofs, butterfly valleys, parapet gutters and flat-roofed rear additions each have their own weak points.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

FAQs for Bushey Mead
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bushey Mead?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bushey Mead as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Bushey Mead?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
How long will you be on site?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email for a price.
For landlords and managing agents
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it’s useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Bushey Mead runs like any other.
- 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.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible 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.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Advice
What new roof snagging looks like in Bushey Mead
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. The wider area around Bushey Mead has a long history of building, with Southside House about 0.7 miles north-west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
For an older house near a landmark like Dundonald Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Bushey Mead, along with any off-street space. For landlords with property near Raynes Park station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Roof by roof
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.
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. We note anything left behind.
What this survey cannot tell you
Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Details hidden from sight
- Pricing the remedial work
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will recommend the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Ridges and verges
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New flat roofs
Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
