New roof snagging in Hanworth, Greater London
New roof snagging in Hanworth, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Damage to other parts of the building
Leave it or get it looked at?
It’s easier to get snags sorted while money is still owed. Once the job is paid and the roofer has moved on, getting them back can take longer. Our report lists what to raise. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why book with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Insured for professional indemnity and public liability
- Photographs and a written report every time

New roof snagging in Hanworth
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it’s worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It’s an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Typical surveys look at gutters blocked by building debris and loose or badly finished ridge tiles, on replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes.
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. For a purchase or a new roof in Hanworth, that shapes what can be checked: we inspect what we are given access to and can see safely, which may not include a neighbour’s side. If it is a flat, the lease typically sets out who is responsible for the roof.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. The report belongs with them.
Hanworth homes and their roofs
Outer London has plenty of 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. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Historic houses like Strawberry Hill House, about 2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Hanworth goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently 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.
For landlords with property near Hampton station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. Hanworth is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway as you book, as a space near the door can’t be promised. Take an older house close to St Richard's Church: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong and get a proper look.
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
What affects the price in Hanworth
To price your survey, we check:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- The address and postcode of the property
- What made you get in touch
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. For a visit in Hanworth, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Before the survey
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
How to book

FAQs for Hanworth
Is Hanworth in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Hanworth is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Hanworth?
It can be, so it’s useful to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. Otherwise, book before your defects or warranty period runs out.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
