New roof snagging in Fulham, Greater London
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Fulham, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Look for new stains after a downpour
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them, and our part is to report what we see.
Tell your roofer at the start that the work will be inspected. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
About our new roof snagging in Fulham
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. We also note debris left behind and any damage to other parts of the building. If you’ve noticed missing or blocked roof ventilation and damage to other parts of the building, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Many London homes have been converted into flats, extended at the back or given a loft conversion with a dormer. Each change adds roof details, like flat roofs, new flashings and junctions with the original slopes. If you’re buying a flat or house in Fulham, or have just had new roofing work done, those junctions are often where problems start. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Roofs we survey in Fulham
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Replacement roofs
- Ridges and verges
The survey, step by step
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Fulham we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Some details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Buying a home or a new roof in Fulham
Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. 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 like Fulham Palace, about 0.7 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Fulham goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near West Brompton station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. Parking in Fulham, as in most of London, takes a little planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when you book, as a space near the door can’t be promised.

Common roof problems in Fulham
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St. Peter's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Fulham questions
Is my home in Fulham listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Fulham?
It depends on the street. If Fulham has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, we report on the roof and do not take sides. Disputes are between you and whoever did the work though our report gives you the facts we saw.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
