New roof snagging in Parsons Green
A new roof needs to breathe. Where vents have been fitted at the ridge or eaves, we check them, and check the roof space for signs of condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, which is easier to put right while the roofer is still involved. We record what we see. We survey new-build homes, loft conversions and dormers and ridges and verges, and common reasons people get in touch are tiles or slates sitting out of line and gaps at new flashings.
In London, lots of houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Each change adds roof details, such as flat roofs, new flashings and junctions with the original slopes. For a purchase in Parsons Green, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a careful look. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Common questions in Parsons Green
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Parsons Green?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
How do I find out if my home in Parsons Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How much time does a snagging visit need?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
How much is new roof snagging?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes, the inspection works the same as for a re-roof. The report lists snags with photographs to raise with the builder.

What affects the cost of new roof snagging
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
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.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photographs included.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Parsons Green. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys
Offcuts in a valley can hold water. Leftover debris is recorded.
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded where we can see them.
What we can’t see
It’s useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
- Pricing the remedial work

What this survey covers
- Loft conversions and dormers
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
- Ridges and verges
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Parsons Green moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photos.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Find any records of previous roof work
Book a survey
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Parsons Green homes and their roofs
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. Historic houses such as Fulham Palace, about 0.8 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Parsons Green goes. 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 Parsons Green, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day. Take an older house close to St Dionis: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges. If you own a rental within reach of Imperial Wharf station, it is worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it.
