New roof snagging in Motspur Park
Ventilation matters on a new roof. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them and look in the loft space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it’s worth raising early. It all goes in the report. We survey replacement roofs, loft conversions and dormers and new flat roofs, and people most often book us about debris left in gutters or valleys and underlay ending short at the eaves.
In a London terrace or conversion, the roof often joins the neighbours’ roofs and shares their stacks and gutters, with parapet walls and party-wall upstands marking where one roof ends and the next begins. For a purchase or a new roof in Motspur Park, that shapes what can be checked: only the parts we’re given access to and can see safely are inspected. For a flat, the lease usually says who looks after the roof.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Questions from Motspur Park
Is my home in Motspur Park listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Motspur Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The loft space is checked where there’s safe access and check for damage left by the job.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Common roof problems in Motspur Park
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Cracked or slipped new tiles or slates
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Damage to other parts of the building
Parking in Motspur Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book, as a space near the door cannot be promised.
Before you book anyone
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. The survey typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. Where that’s the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Otherwise, the visit in Motspur Park runs like any other.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- 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 checked.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Advice

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Diary the defects period end date
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
How quickly the report arrives depends on the package: within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and the same day for Premium. If a payment is due soon, choose the package that fits.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. Everyone then knows what to expect and time is set aside for snags.
Local roofs and buyers in Motspur Park
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. 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. Southside House, about 0.8 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Motspur Park. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Christ Church New Malden, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. If you own a rental within reach of New Malden station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Motspur Park
Phone photos from the garden can’t show much. Our inspection looks as closely as can be done safely using a drone where it applies. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.
