New roof snagging in Greenhill, Greater London
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags in Greenhill, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Poorly finished verges

What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
About our new roof snagging in Greenhill
Our inspection covers the slates or tiles, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey ridges and verges, flashings and valleys and loft conversions and dormers, and common reasons people get in touch are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates.
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. If you’re buying a flat or house in Greenhill, or have just had new roofing work done, those junctions are frequently where problems start. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Greenhill
Landlords, agents and building managers in Greenhill and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Can I check my roof myself?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Diary the defects period end date
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. With the Standard Survey there is a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.

FAQs for Greenhill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Greenhill?
Yes, Greenhill is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Greenhill?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.

New roof snagging in Greenhill: local notes
Headstone Manor, about 1.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Greenhill. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you own a rental within reach of Harrow-on-the-Hill station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Take an older house close to Church of St John the Baptist: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. Parking in Greenhill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking.
