About our new roof snagging in Notting Dale
Replacing a roof costs a lot, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. Our new roof snagging inspection looks for faults and unfinished work on the roof and around the property. You get a written report with photographs that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. Typical surveys look at underlay ending short at the eaves and damage to other parts of the building, across loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and new-build homes.
London’s housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war estates and new blocks of flats, so a property in Notting Dale might be any of these. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, the details that cause trouble depend on the age of the building. Slates, hidden valley gutters, parapets and flat roofs over back additions all need checking in their own way.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put with the most urgent first where relevant.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How big the roof is
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
We’ll typically ask about:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. 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 Notting Dale runs like any other.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- The new coverings, ridge, hips and verges are inspected where it is safe to see them.
- We check valleys, flashings and gutters, and the underlay at the eaves where it’s visible.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a written report with photos of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
How to book
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Notting Dale
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Notting Dale?
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.
Is Notting Dale in the area you cover?
Yes, Notting Dale is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
When should I book new roof snagging?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That leaves time to raise anything we find.
How do I book a survey in Notting Dale?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Will you check every nail and clip?
No, we do not disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: 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.
Notting Dale homes and their roofs
The wider area around Notting Dale has a long history of building, with Sambourne House about 1.1 miles south-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in Notting Dale is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
If you own a rental within reach of Shepherds Bush station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Notting Dale, along with any off-street space. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Sava, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Keep warranty papers safe
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Check the roof before you pay in full
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
Your roofer can use the report to put the snags right. Any disagreement about the work is between you and them; we report on what we see.
Agree the snagging inspection with your roofer before the job starts. It sets clear expectations and time is set aside for snags.
