New Roof Snagging in Lissenden Gardens
New roof snagging around Lissenden Gardens, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
How it works
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a London area like Lissenden Gardens, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at what can safely be seen from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, 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.
- You receive a report to share with your roofer.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

About our new roof snagging in Lissenden Gardens
The best time for snagging is before the final payment while the roofer can still come back easily. If that’s passed, it is worth checking before a defects or warranty period ends. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer in good time. Common reasons to book are gutters or fascias damaged during the job and verge tiles or slates not secured, across flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
In a London terrace or conversion, the roof frequently joins the neighbours’ roofs and shares their stacks and gutters, with parapet walls and party-wall upstands marking where one roof ends and the next begins. That matters for anyone buying in Lissenden Gardens or checking a new roof there: we inspect what we are 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.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Local roofs and buyers in Lissenden Gardens
About 0.8 miles west lies Keats House, a reminder of how long the area around Lissenden Gardens has been built on. 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. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours 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.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Highgate Road Chapel, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them. If you let a flat or house near Gospel Oak station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What we are asked to look at in Lissenden Gardens
Most householders can’t get a good look at their new roof. From the pavement, many faults are invisible before you pay.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Signs of condensation in the loft space
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
Lissenden Gardens is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking, as a space near the door cannot be promised.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- When you’ll get the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Which limits apply to the survey
What you can safely check yourself
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Prices for new roof snagging in Lissenden Gardens

Getting in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just let us know:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.
Why act early in Lissenden Gardens
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. In Lissenden Gardens, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Lissenden Gardens: your questions answered
Is my home in Lissenden Gardens listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Lissenden Gardens?
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 you book.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all including VAT. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us for a price.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
What we look for on each type of roof
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks, so we look at them closely.
Ridges, hips and verges
Cracked mortar or loose ridge tiles on a new roof are worth raising. We photograph any we find.
