New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Enfield Chase
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. The findings go into a written report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. Common reasons to book are underlay not dressed into the gutter and tiles or slates sitting out of line, on new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs.
Homes across London range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war blocks and new developments, so a property in Enfield Chase might be any of these. Whether the roof is old or newly laid, the problem areas depend on how and when the building went up. Slate roofs, butterfly valleys, parapet gutters and flat-roofed rear additions each have their own weak points.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.

Questions from Enfield Chase
Is parking a problem for a survey in Enfield Chase?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Enfield Chase?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photos for you to pass to your builder.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
How do I book a survey in Enfield Chase?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you check the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Why get it checked now?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where it applies. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

New roof snagging in Enfield Chase: local notes
With Forty Hall about 1.6 miles north-east, Enfield Chase sits in an area with a long building history. 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 a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Enfield Chase is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
If you let a flat or house near Enfield Chase station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Enfield Chase, along with any off-street space.

What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Enfield Chase we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We look in the roof space, where there is safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Do you need new roof snagging in Enfield Chase?
Most householders cannot get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
Problems we come across often include:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
Different roofs, different checks
Underlay and ventilation
We look in the loft space, where there is safe access, at the underlay and ventilation.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded where we can see them.
What affects the price in Enfield Chase
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
