New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Malden Rushett
Snagging means finding the small faults and loose ends left at the end of a job. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions where the work is most fiddly. We inspect as far as can be seen safely and record what we find. Loose ridges, untidy verges, badly dressed flashings and leftover debris are typical snags. Typical surveys look at loose or badly finished ridge tiles and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, on ridges and verges, new-build homes and flashings and valleys.
London’s housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war estates and new blocks of flats, so a property in Malden Rushett might be any of these. Whether the roof is old or newly laid, the problem areas depend on how and when the building went up. Slate roofs, butterfly valleys, parapet gutters and flat-roofed rear additions each have their own weak points.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

The survey, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In Malden Rushett, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a report with photographs of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Common questions in Malden Rushett
Is parking a problem for a survey in Malden Rushett?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Malden Rushett?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
- Keep the contract and invoices together
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That is worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Malden Rushett
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
Signs you need new roof snagging in Malden Rushett
Scaffolding and materials can damage other parts of a building. We look for knock-on damage, not just the new roof.
Look out for signs like these:
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Gaps at new flashings
If you own a rental within reach of Chessington South station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Local roofs and buyers in Malden Rushett
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. The wider area around Malden Rushett has a long history of building, with Fitznells Manor about 3.1 miles east. 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.
For a London address like Malden Rushett, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space.
