New roof snagging in New Addington
Our report records 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 describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and underlay at the eaves left exposed, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
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 New Addington, that shapes what can be checked: we inspect what we’re given access to and can see safely, which may not include a neighbour’s side. If it’s a flat, the lease usually sets out who is responsible for the roof.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the new roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Signs you need new roof snagging in New Addington
Work at height can mark walls, crack lower roofs or loosen gutters. A snagging check looks around the property as well as at the roof.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Untidy or loose verge details
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Flashings not properly dressed or fixed
For landlords with property near Hayes (Kent) station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How soon the report will arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What a survey costs
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Our price is from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. A slipped verge tile or a loose flashing may let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. In New Addington, as in much of London, water from a roof defect can reach a neighbour’s home as easily as yours: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

New roof snagging in New Addington: local notes
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in New Addington is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. About 1.5 miles north-west lies Addington Palace, a reminder of how long the area around New Addington has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often 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.
For a London address like New Addington, it’s useful to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space. Take an older house close to St Edward King and Confessor: the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

New Addington questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in New Addington?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in New Addington?
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.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What’s the price of a snagging inspection?
Our packages start from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form for a price.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s 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.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is checked where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
For landlords and managing agents
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in New Addington. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How the survey works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In New Addington, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it’s safe to see them.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
