New roof snagging in Crews Hill
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes, and common reasons people get in touch are poorly finished verges and gutters or fascias damaged during the job.
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. For a purchase or a new roof in Crews Hill, that shapes what can be checked: only the parts we are given access to and can see safely are inspected. For a flat, the lease typically says who looks after the roof.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
Roof ventilation reduces the risk of condensation. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
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.
What new roof snagging looks like in Crews Hill
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With Forty Hall about 1.5 miles south-east, Crews Hill 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 any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Parking in Crews Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St John the Baptist, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. Landlords with a home close to Crews Hill 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.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Crews Hill
How do I find out if my home in Crews Hill is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Crews Hill?
It can be, so it’s useful to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you cover Crews Hill for new roof snagging?
Yes, we do. Crews Hill is part of the area we cover.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.

What else we do in Crews Hill
Leave it or get it looked at?
Specific, photographed snags are easier to discuss than a vague worry. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Why book with us
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Surveys on any day of the week

What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a visit in Crews Hill, 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. We then look at whatever is safely visible from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
