New roof snagging in Crooked Billet: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. If you’ve noticed cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and debris left in gutters or valleys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on new flat roofs, flashings and valleys and replacement roofs 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 Crooked Billet or checking a new roof there: only the parts we’re given access to and can see safely are inspected. For a flat, the lease normally says who looks after the roof.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Diary the defects period end date
- File all paperwork for the new roof
The report lists each snag with photos and written recommendations. Pass it on to your roofer or builder.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so snags can be raised.

When to book a survey in Crooked Billet
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
Look out for signs like these:
- Cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work
- Gaps at new flashings
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
Parking in Crooked Billet, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier, as a space near the door can’t be promised.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What happens after the report arrives
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What affects the price in Crooked Billet
When we price a survey, we consider:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone

What new roof snagging looks like in Crooked Billet
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. Southside House, about 0.5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crooked Billet. 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, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Landlords with a home close to Raynes Park station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. The streets around a church like Christ Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What this survey cannot tell you
Before you book, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings

What this survey covers
- Replacement roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- Ridges and verges
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. 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 start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- 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 written report with photos.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

Questions from Crooked Billet
Is Crooked Billet in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Crooked Billet?
Parking in Crooked Billet, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there is safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
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. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
