About our new roof snagging in Maze Hill
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. Any dispute about the work is between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. We don’t give repair cost estimates or decide who is at fault, but it does set out clearly what we found. We survey flashings and valleys, replacement roofs and ridges and verges, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked mortar at the ridge or hips and untidy or loose verge details.
In London, lots of houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Each change adds roof details, such as flat roofs, new flashings and junctions with the original slopes. For a purchase in Maze Hill, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a close look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Maze Hill questions
How do I find out if my home in Maze Hill is listed?
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.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Maze Hill?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How do I book a survey in Maze Hill?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging.
How long will you be on site?
It normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. You’ll know roughly how long when we arrange it.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Do you work in Maze Hill?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and that includes Maze Hill.
Honest limits
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Areas out of view from every safe viewpoint
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Repair costs for putting snags right
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before booking. What a survey covers and does not.

For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Check before your warranty period ends
Report times depend on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. That’s worth bearing in mind if a payment date is close.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Book a check well before it so there’s time to raise anything.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What affects the cost of new roof snagging
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How big the roof is
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- House, block, shop or office
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
New roof snagging around Maze Hill
With Queen's House about 0.3 miles west, Maze Hill sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. If your home in Maze Hill is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
As a London address, Maze Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when booking, as a space near the door can’t be promised. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Christ Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. Landlords with a home close to Maze Hill station may find that the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can safely be seen.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the roof space, where there’s safe access, and around the property for debris or damage.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
How to prepare
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
How to book
If you are buying, it helps 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 phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
