Do you need new roof snagging in Hatton?
A roof is hard for most owners to see properly. Without an independent check, you are relying on what can be seen from the ground before you pay.
Look out for signs like these:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
The streets around a church such as The Parish Church of the Good Shepherd are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What experience they bring
How new roof snagging works in Hatton
We carry out new roof snagging in Hatton and across London and the South East. Time on site typically takes between one and two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at including by drone where it applies. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you’re worried about underlay at the eaves left exposed and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
London terraces and converted houses often share a roof line, chimney stacks and gutters with the house next door, with parapet walls and party-wall upstands marking where one roof ends and the next begins. For a purchase or a new roof in Hatton, 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 normally sets out who is responsible for the roof.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How we price new roof snagging
To price your survey, we look at:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Buying a home or a new roof in Hatton
Osterley House, about 3.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hatton. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Hatton 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 let a flat or house near Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Hatton, along with any off-street space.

Local landmarks in Hatton

The closest station to Hatton is Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, roughly 1.2 miles south-west. Nearby you’ll also find Treaty Centre (2.5 miles east) and Harlington (1.9 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Staines Reservoirs and Crane Meadows.
Why act early in Hatton
Phone photos from the garden cannot show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows, including by drone where it’s applicable. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Questions from Hatton
Is my home in Hatton listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Hatton?
It can be, so it is useful to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is looked at where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong, so we look at them carefully.
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags frequently show on tiled roofs. They get close attention.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In Hatton, as in much of London, plenty of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us as you book.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We look at valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
