New Roof Snagging in Kenton
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags across Kenton, with drones and thermal imaging where they help. Call or email for a price.
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Gaps at new flashings
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- Check the roof before you pay in full
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Keep the final payment until the roof has been checked, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it is right.
New roof snagging in Kenton: what you get
Roof work often leaves debris behind. We look for broken tiles, offcuts and nails left in gutters and on lower roofs, and for damage to other parts of the building. Each item is photographed. Debris left in gutters and valleys can block them, and cracked lower roofs can leak. It is easier to raise them while the job is fresh. Common reasons to book are loose flashings at walls or chimneys and gutters or fascias damaged during the job, across new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs.
Homes across London range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war blocks and new developments, and a home in Kenton could be any of them. Whether the roof is old or newly laid, the problem areas depend on how and when the building went up. Slates, hidden valley gutters, parapets and flat roofs over back additions all need checking in their own way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What else we do in Kenton
Local roofs and buyers in Kenton
With Headstone Manor about 2.2 miles west, Kenton sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Kenton station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Kenton. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Kenton is about 2 miles south of Stanmore, in Greater London. Anywhere in Kenton, we can carry out new roof snagging at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Our area takes in places right across Greater London. Our London page covers surveys nearby.

Local landmarks in Kenton

Other landmarks nearby include St. Anns (1.3 miles west) and Hilfield Castle (4.9 miles north). Open spaces near Kenton include Masons Field and Northala Fields.
How it works
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 a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Kenton moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Keep pets in another room

FAQs for Kenton
Do you carry out roof surveys in Kenton?
Yes, Kenton is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Kenton is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can you see the fixings under the tiles?
No, we report on what’s visible. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Do you look in the roof space?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Height and safe access
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
When you’re ready to go ahead, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles
- Repair costs for putting snags right
- Legal advice on your contract
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
- Flashings and valleys
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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.
