New Roof Snagging in Moor Park
Checking a new or replacement roof for snags for Moor Park, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.

What we look for on each type of roof
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
Slate roofs
On a new slate roof, we check the coursing and the details at ridges, verges and valleys as far as can safely be seen.
New roof snagging in Moor Park: what you get
A snag is a fault or unfinished detail left when work is done. On a roof, snags are often at the edges and junctions, where the detailing is hardest. 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 poorly finished verges and tiles or slates sitting out of line, on new-build homes, flashings and valleys and new flat roofs.
In a London terrace or conversion, the roof often joins the neighbours’ roofs and shares their stacks and gutters. For a purchase or a new roof in Moor Park, that shapes what can be checked: 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.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: 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. It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- 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.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Common questions in Moor Park
How do I find out if my home in Moor Park is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Moor Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when booking.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes, new-build roofs are checked in the same way as replacement roofs. The report lists snags with photos for you to pass to your builder.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
What else we do in Moor Park
Moor Park homes and their roofs
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. Historic houses such as Headstone Manor, about 3.9 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Moor Park goes. If your home is one of the older ones, 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.
If you own a rental within reach of Rickmansworth station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. The streets around a church like Holy Trinity Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. For a London address like Moor Park, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day.
Moor Park is about 2 miles south-east of Rickmansworth, in Greater London. Moor Park is one of many places we visit across Greater London, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Moor Park is one of the towns and villages in Greater London where we work for new roof snagging. London is in our area too.
We work across HA6 and WD3 for new roof snagging and the streets around it. If you need new roof snagging at a property on Bedford Road, Ormonde Road and Russell Road or a nearby road, we can survey it. We also cover the places around Moor Park: Batchworth Heath (1 mile west), Northwood (1 mile south-east), Eastbury (1 mile east), Batchworth (1 mile west) and Woodcock Hill (2 miles west). Within a short drive, we also cover City of Westminster (14 miles south-east), Marylebone (14 miles south-east), Kensington (13 miles south-east), St Pancras (15 miles south-east), Hampstead (12 miles south-east) and Ruislip (3 miles south).

For rail, the closest station is Rickmansworth station, roughly 2.1 miles north-west. Nearby you will also find Mount Vernon Hospital (0.7 miles south-west) and Hilfield Castle (4.7 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Dews Farm Sand Pits and Tumbling Bay.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Moor Park
Letting agents and landlords in Moor Park book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the new roof.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
What this survey cannot tell you
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Areas out of view from every safe vantage point
- Estimates of what fixes will cost
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Replacement roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Ridges and verges
- New flat roofs
- Flashings and valleys
- New-build homes
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Watch for drips in the roof space with care
If anything in the report isn’t clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
