How we price new roof snagging

We confirm the price for your roof before you book. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it is a home or a commercial building
  • Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
  • The roof’s overall size
  • How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages

New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Getting in touch

Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:

  • Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
  • The style of property, from a terrace to a block
  • The property’s address and postcode
  • Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside

Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.

New roof snagging in Coney Hall: what you get

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 including from the loft and the roof where it is safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed debris left in gutters or valleys and underlay not dressed into the gutter, a survey will tell you what’s going on.

In London, a good many 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 Coney Hall, or have just had new roofing work done, those junctions are often where problems start. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.

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 it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Coney Hall

Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.

Can I check my roof myself?

Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.

If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Local roofs and buyers in Coney Hall

The wider area around Coney Hall has a long history of building, with Addington Palace about 1.2 miles south-west. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Coney Hall is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.

If you live in an older home near St Francis of Assisi, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What happens on the day

The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.

  1. We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
  2. We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
  3. We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
  4. We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
  5. You get a photo report of each snag.

Before we arrive

  • If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
  • Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
  • Tell us where we can park nearby

Common questions in Coney Hall

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Coney Hall?

London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Coney Hall?

For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.

Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?

No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.

Can you see the fixings under the tiles?

No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.

Do you climb onto every roof?

Only if it is safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.

What do you check on a new roof?

Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.

How much is new roof snagging?

Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

What we look for on each type of roof

Underlay and ventilation

Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the roof space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.

Clay and concrete tiles

Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. We check them closely.
