New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Fortune Green
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If that is passed, it’s worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That leaves time to raise what we find. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We are frequently asked to look into underlay ending short at the eaves and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed, across ridges and verges, new-build homes and loft conversions and dormers.
In London, plenty 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 Fortune Green, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a close look. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

New roof snagging in Fortune Green: local notes
With Fenton House about 0.7 miles east, Fortune Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Luke, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. For a London address like Fortune Green, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space.

What we look for on each type of roof

- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
For landlords with property near West Hampstead Thameslink station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Fortune Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Fortune Green?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Fortune Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Is my home in Fortune Green listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings aren’t visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Do you climb onto every 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.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Surveys in Fortune Green can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Jot down any questions you want answered
