How new roof snagging works in Moorhouse Bank
We carry out new roof snagging in Moorhouse Bank and across London and the South East. A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it is applicable. You then get a written report with photos. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. If you’re worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and verge tiles or slates not secured, we can find out what’s behind it, on ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and new-build homes alike.
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. For a purchase in Moorhouse Bank, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a proper look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Do you need new roof snagging in Moorhouse Bank?
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Gaps at new flashings
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured for the work?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- How soon the report will arrive
What new roof snagging does not cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- A promise that the roof won’t leak
- What’s under the new coverings
- Parts of the roof we cannot see safely
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Loft conversions and dormers
- New-build homes
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- Replacement roofs
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In Moorhouse Bank, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- First, you let us know what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it is visible.
- We look in the loft space, where there is 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
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Other services in Moorhouse Bank
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Moorhouse Bank questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Moorhouse Bank?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Moorhouse Bank?
It rarely stops a survey, but it is worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What do you check on a new roof?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We also look for debris left behind and damage to other parts.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
Once the roofer says the job is done, ideally before you pay in full. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
New roof snagging in Moorhouse Bank: local notes
Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. The wider area around Moorhouse Bank has a long history of building, with Quebec House about 1.3 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For a London address like Moorhouse Bank, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day. For landlords with property near Hurst Green station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. We get as close a view as safe access allows using a drone where it applies. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
