New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Marylebone
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. You get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey flashings and valleys, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked lower roofs or marked walls after the work and tiles or slates sitting out of line.
Many London homes have been converted into flats, extended at the back or given a loft conversion with a dormer. Every alteration brings new junctions, flashings and flat-roof areas to look at. If you’re buying a flat or house in Marylebone, or have just had new roofing work done, those junctions are frequently where problems start. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check lower roofs and walls after scaffolding comes down
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. Raise any new signs of water with your roofer promptly.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected if your contract allows it. It gives the roofer a reason to finish everything.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Whether the roof will leak in future
- Nails and clips under the slates or tiles

Marylebone questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Marylebone?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Marylebone as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Marylebone is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you check the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside can’t, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How do I book a survey in Marylebone?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof so hidden fixings are not visible to us. We note what couldn’t be seen.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Marylebone we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Flashings, valleys, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The roof space is looked at where safe, along with any mess or damage left after the work.
- We send a written report with photographs of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Find any records of previous roof work

Do you need new roof snagging in Marylebone?
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Fiddly details are frequently where things go wrong particularly in poor weather.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
If you let a flat or house near Bond Street station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:

Our price is from £150, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we will tell you which fits.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
Local roofs and buyers in Marylebone
Handel Hendrix House, about 0.3 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Marylebone. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
The streets around a church like Russian chapel on Welbeck Street 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. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Marylebone.
