About our new roof snagging in Crofton Park
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys, along with the flashings and ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible as well as the gutters. 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 loft conversions and dormers, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates.
London terraces and converted houses often share a roof line, chimney stacks and gutters with the house next door, with parapet walls and party-wall upstands marking where one roof ends and the next begins. For a purchase or a new roof in Crofton Park, that shapes what can be checked: we inspect what we’re given access to and can see safely, which may not include a neighbour’s side. For a flat, the lease normally says who looks after the roof.
Where we can’t see part of the new roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Questions from Crofton Park
Do you carry out roof surveys in Crofton Park?
Yes, Crofton Park is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Crofton Park?
Sometimes, yes. If Crofton Park has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Tips that help
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Don’t settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. 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.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming

What happens if roof problems are left?
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: failed flashings and blocked valley gutters can send water into more than one home. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
For a price for your roof in Crofton Park, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Crofton Park
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.

Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces frequently have Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. If your home in Crofton Park is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. Queen's House, about 2.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crofton Park. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
