What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

New roof snagging in Isleworth: what you get
A new roof needs to breathe. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. 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. We survey new flat roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges, and people most often book us about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed.
London terraces and converted houses often share a roof line, chimney stacks and gutters with the house next door. That matters for anyone buying in Isleworth or checking a new roof there: we inspect what we’re given access to and can see safely, which may not include a neighbour’s side. For a flat, the lease usually says who looks after the roof.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Verge and eaves tiles are where snags frequently show on tiled roofs. We look at them closely.
Ridges, hips and verges
Ridges, hips and verges take the most weather. Bedding, dry-fix pieces and fixings are checked where visible.
Your questions about new roof snagging in Isleworth
Is Isleworth in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Isleworth?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when booking.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No. We don’t open up the new roof, so fixings under the coverings cannot be checked. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What you can safely check yourself
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Why it is worth a survey now in Isleworth
You may not see a fault until it causes damage. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan, rather than in a rush after a leak.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
Why us?
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Every finding written up with photos

What new roof snagging looks like in Isleworth
Historic houses like Syon House, about 0.9 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Isleworth goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Isleworth, along with any off-street space. The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. Landlords with a home close to Isleworth station may find that a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In Isleworth, as in much of London, lots of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so the back of the roof is frequently seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, let us know when booking.
- We agree what to focus on, like a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, 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.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Useful tips for Isleworth property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
