New roof snagging in Crook Log: what you get
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. We inspect as far as can safely be seen and photograph each snag. Typical snags include loose ridge tiles, poorly dressed flashings and debris left in gutters. If you’ve noticed underlay not dressed into the gutter and signs of condensation in the roof space, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and new-build homes alike.
London terraces and converted houses often share a roof line, chimney stacks and gutters with the house next door. That matters for anyone buying in Crook Log or checking a new roof there: we inspect what we’re given access to and can see safely, which may not include a neighbour’s side. If it’s a flat, the lease normally sets out who is responsible for the roof.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
You receive a written report with photographs of each snag and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked if your contract allows it. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed and get a proper look.
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags often show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
What new roof snagging doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Pricing the remedial work
- What’s under the new coverings
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
- New flat roofs
- Ridges and verges
Can I check my roof myself?
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 helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us as you book.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a report with photos of each snag.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Advice
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £150, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Crook Log
How do I find out if my home in Crook Log is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Crook Log?
Parking in Crook Log, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Do you work in Crook Log?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Crook Log.

Local roofs and buyers in Crook Log
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home 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. Historic houses such as Red House, about 0.3 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Crook Log goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
For an older house near a landmark like Trinity Baptist Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you own a rental within reach of Bexleyheath station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. For a London address like Crook Log, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day.
