New roof snagging in Pinner, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.

New roof snagging in Pinner
We carry out new roof snagging in Pinner and across London and South East England. Time on site typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Everything visible from safe vantage points is checked including by drone where it applies. You then get a report with photographs. We inspect on weekdays and at weekends. We’re frequently asked to look into ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and tiles or slates sitting out of line, across ridges and verges, new flat roofs and replacement roofs.
In London, plenty 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 Pinner, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a close look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What else we do in Pinner
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from new roof snagging starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- File all paperwork for the new roof
- Arrange the inspection before settling the final bill
- Watch for drips in the loft space with care
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
Keep the report with any warranty papers from your roofer. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
Questions from Pinner
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Pinner?
Parking in Pinner, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you cover Pinner?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
How do I book a survey in Pinner?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
How long will you be on site?
It normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We will give you an idea when you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, including ridges, verges, valleys, flashings, vents and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there is safe access and check for damage left by the job.
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a visit in Pinner, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at what can be seen safely from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- You tell us what work was done and when.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Do you need new roof snagging in Pinner?
Owners often get in touch when the finish looks uneven or a leak appears. Others want an independent check as a matter of course before signing off the job.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damage to other parts of the building
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Poorly finished verges
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Christian Science Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price

New roof snagging in Pinner: local notes
Historic houses such as Headstone Manor, about 1.5 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Pinner goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
For landlords with property near Hatch End station, it’s worth knowing a roof’s condition before you buy it, or before you sign off new roofing work on it. As a London address, Pinner can be tricky for parking: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book, as a space near the door can’t be promised.
