New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Colliers Wood
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 photographs, ready to pass on before the deadline. We survey flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes, and people most frequently book us about broken coverings left on a new roof and gaps at new flashings.
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 Colliers Wood or checking a new roof there: we inspect what we are given access to and can see safely, which may not include a neighbour’s side. For a flat, the lease usually says who looks after the roof.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. For a visit in Colliers Wood, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know 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 the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- 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
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Leave it or get it looked at?
Offcuts left in a gutter can block it and send water down the walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing 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.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Why us?
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

Colliers Wood questions
Is Colliers Wood in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Colliers Wood is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Colliers Wood is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
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.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea as you book.
Local roofs and buyers in Colliers Wood
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. With Southside House about 2.8 miles west, Colliers Wood sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Colliers Wood. If you live in an older home near St Nicholas, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

When to book a survey in Colliers Wood
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
Landlords with a home close to Tooting station may find that it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What insurance they carry
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Look for debris left in gutters from ground level
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
