About our new roof snagging in Kensal Green
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted, and check the loft space for signs of condensation. We note what we can see. Without enough airflow, a roof space can suffer from condensation, so it is worth raising early. We record what we see. We’re often asked to look into vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and verge tiles or slates not secured, on replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs.
In a London terrace or conversion, the roof often joins the neighbours’ roofs and shares their stacks and gutters. For a purchase or a new roof in Kensal Green, that shapes what can be checked: 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 normally says who looks after the roof.
Where we cannot see part of the new roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
Questions about the findings are welcome. With the Standard Survey there’s a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Different roofs, different checks
Slate roofs
Cracked slates are sometimes left in place. We record any we can see.
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Kensal Green: your questions answered
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Kensal Green?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when booking.
How do I find out if my home in Kensal Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How soon after the work should I book a snagging inspection?
Before the final payment is best so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
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.
Will you check the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In Kensal Green, 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. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when booking.
- 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.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Buying a home or a new roof in Kensal Green
Kensington Palace, about 2.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Kensal Green. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like 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. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For landlords with property near Kensal Green station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. Parking in Kensal Green, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier, as a space near the door can’t be promised. If you live in an older home near St Martin, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
