About our new roof snagging in Netherne on-the-Hill
Our report records what we see with photos and plain descriptions. If there’s a disagreement about the work, it is between you and your roofer or builder. Our report gives you an independent record to refer to. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. We survey flashings and valleys, new-build homes and replacement roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are loose or badly finished ridge tiles and poorly finished verges.
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 Netherne on-the-Hill, 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.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

- Areas out of view from each safe vantage point
- Settling a dispute with your roofer or builder

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Watch for gutters overflowing in rain
- Tell your roofer the work will be inspected
- Check the roof before you pay in full
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey includes an in-person one.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and leaves time for snags to be fixed.
When to book a survey in Netherne on-the-Hill
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Without enough airflow, condensation can build up in the loft space.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Gaps at new flashings
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
For a London address like Netherne on-the-Hill, it’s useful to know about controlled parking before the day.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- When you’ll get the report
What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In Netherne on-the-Hill, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it’s useful 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.
- 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 report with photos of each snag.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Related advice
Landlords, agents and block managers in Netherne on-the-Hill
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Buying a home or a new roof in Netherne on-the-Hill
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, so check with the council. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Whether you are buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
For landlords with property near Coulsdon South station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Margaret, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Netherne on-the-Hill questions
How do I find out if my home in Netherne on-the-Hill is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Netherne on-the-Hill?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
How long does new roof snagging take?
A visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. We will give you an idea as you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Fixings and underlay under the slates or tiles are hidden so we focus on what can be seen.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
