New roof snagging in Eastfields, Greater London
New roof snagging across Eastfields, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a London area like Eastfields, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Eastfields
We report on what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gaps at new flashings and missing or blocked roof ventilation.
In London, lots of 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. For a purchase in Eastfields, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a proper look. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Local roofs and buyers in Eastfields
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. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Historic houses such as Southside House, about 3.4 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Eastfields goes. 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.
For a London address like Eastfields, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space. If you let a flat or house near Mitcham Eastfields station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
How we price new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Prices start from £150, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Helping us price your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Common questions in Eastfields
Is parking a problem for a survey in Eastfields?
Sometimes, yes. If Eastfields has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Eastfields?
Yes, Eastfields is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We do not open up the new roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
When to book a survey in Eastfields
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Gutters blocked by building debris
The streets around a church such as St. Mark's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Before you book any roof surveyor
