New roof snagging in Perivale, Greater London
New roof snagging in Perivale, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
- Poorly finished verges
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
New roof snagging in Perivale: what you get
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. At the eaves we look at how the underlay is dressed into the gutter, where it can be seen as well as the gutters. The report sets out what we found with photographs. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. Typical surveys look at vents that weren’t fitted or are covered and untidy or loose verge details, on new flat roofs, replacement roofs and flashings and valleys.
In London, a good many houses have been split into flats, extended or fitted with a dormer loft conversion. Every alteration brings new junctions, flashings and flat-roof areas to look at. For a purchase in Perivale, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a careful look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Prices for new roof snagging in Perivale
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

Perivale homes and their roofs
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as 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. The wider area around Perivale has a long history of building, with Pitzhanger Manor about 2 miles south. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For landlords with property near South Greenford station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Parking in Perivale, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St. Mary with St. Nicholas - Perivale, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Perivale questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Perivale?
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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Perivale?
Yes, Perivale is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
How do I book a survey in Perivale?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
What do you check on a new roof?
Coverings, ridges, verges, hips, valleys and flashings are all checked, along with ventilation, gutters and the underlay at the eaves. We look for leftover debris and knock-on damage too.
Will you deal with my roofer if there’s a problem?
No. We report on what we see. A disagreement about the work is between you and them, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we don’t disturb the new coverings. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. In a London area like Perivale, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets in another room
