New roof snagging in Hanger Hill: what you get
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. Typical surveys look at missing or blocked roof ventilation and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, on new-build homes, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys.
In a London terrace or conversion, the roof often joins the neighbours’ roofs and shares their stacks and gutters, with parapet walls and party-wall upstands marking where one roof ends and the next begins. That matters for anyone buying in Hanger Hill or checking a new roof there: only the parts we are given access to and can see safely are inspected. If it’s a flat, the lease usually sets out who is responsible for the roof.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. They get close attention.
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. We note anything left behind.

Common questions in Hanger Hill
Is Hanger Hill in the area you cover?
Yes, Hanger Hill is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Hanger Hill listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Before the final payment is best, while the roofer is still on hand. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We will give you an idea when you book.
Do you check new-build roofs?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. You get a photo report of any snags to raise with the builder.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
The report gives your roofer a clear list to work through. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so there’s time to raise anything.
Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
What new roof snagging looks like in Hanger Hill
Pitzhanger Manor, about 1.2 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hanger Hill. 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, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Hanger Hill 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 own a rental within reach of Acton Main Line station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. Hanger Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when you book. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Ascension, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
We confirm the exact price before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Height and safe access
- The size of the roof
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What to let us know when you contact us
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Hanger Hill runs like any other.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- 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
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us about parking before the day
