How new roof snagging works in Clapham Junction
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible, and we check the gutters too. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey new-build homes, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are flashings not properly dressed or fixed and signs of condensation in the roof space.
In London, lots of houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Every alteration brings new junctions, flashings and flat-roof areas to look at. If you are buying a flat or house in Clapham Junction, or have just had new roofing work done, those junctions are often where problems start. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What else we do in Clapham Junction
Buying a home or a new roof in Clapham Junction
Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. With Carlyle's House about 1.4 miles north, Clapham Junction sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. Clapham Junction is in London, so parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier, as a space near the door cannot be promised. For landlords with property near Clapham Junction station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

Why get it checked now?
Small faults on a new roof can grow. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay 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.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
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.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
How the survey works
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a London conversion, the way into the loft 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. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
How we price new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Clapham Junction questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Clapham Junction?
It depends on the street. If Clapham Junction has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Clapham Junction?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked plus gutters, ventilation and visible underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
