New roof snagging in Holloway
We report on what we see, with photos and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report doesn’t price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you are worried about signs of condensation in the roof space and tiles or slates sitting out of line, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions and dormers, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs alike.
Some older homes in villages like Holloway are listed or sit in a conservation area. If so, re-roofing in different materials may need consent, so check with the council before work starts. Whether you are buying or signing off new roofing, it is worth knowing where you stand, as well as what condition the roof is in. There are about 500,000 listed buildings and around 10,000 conservation areas in England.
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.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Older rural homes like those around Holloway can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Advice
What affects the price in Holloway
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Which survey package you book
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to let us know when you get in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What made you get in touch
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email to find out.
Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Check before your warranty period ends
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Holloway

- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates

New roof snagging in Holloway: local notes
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds. Historic houses such as Harleyford Manor, about 2.7 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Holloway goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Saint John the Evangelist: older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.

Common questions in Holloway
Do you cover smaller places like Holloway?
Yes, Holloway is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Is Holloway in the area you cover?
Yes, Holloway is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
What do you check on a new roof?
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
