New roof snagging in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
Our snagging inspections cover Bushwood Area of Leytonstone and the rest of London and the South East. A visit normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it’s applicable. You then get a written report with photos. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys alike.
In London, a good many houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Each change adds roof details, such as flat roofs, new flashings and junctions with the original slopes. For a purchase in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a proper look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Questions from Bushwood Area of Leytonstone
Is Bushwood Area of Leytonstone in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Bushwood Area of Leytonstone is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Is my home in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. Our job is to report on the roof as we find it. A disagreement about the work is between you and them and our report gives you an independent record.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you look in the loft space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Check before your warranty period ends
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Spotting it now saves chasing damp later. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What you get with us
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- PI and public liability insurance
- An independent view of the roof
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it is useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Bushwood Area of Leytonstone runs like any other.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We check the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.

- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Preparing for the visit
