New roof snagging in Puddledock, Greater London
New roof snagging in Puddledock and the rest of Greater London. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter

Do you need new roof snagging in Puddledock?
Ventilation is sometimes missed or blocked during re-roofing. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Vents that weren’t fitted or are covered
As a London address, Puddledock can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway as you book.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
New roof snagging in Puddledock
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. If you are worried about broken coverings left on a new roof and signs of condensation in the roof space, we can find out what’s behind it, on replacement roofs, new-build homes and ridges and verges alike.
Many London homes have been converted into flats, extended at the back or given a loft conversion with a dormer. Each change adds roof details, such as flat roofs, new flashings and junctions with the original slopes. For a purchase in Puddledock, 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.
The report records the new roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Puddledock
Do you carry out roof surveys in Puddledock?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Puddledock as anywhere else.
Is my home in Puddledock listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
How much is new roof snagging?
The Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard from £250 and the Premium from £400, all with VAT included. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How do I book a survey in Puddledock?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the roof space and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
New roof snagging in Puddledock: local notes
The wider area around Puddledock has a long history of building, with Chartwell about 0.6 miles north-west. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Whether you’re buying or checking new roofing work, knowing the materials helps make sense of what the inspection finds.
If you let a flat or house near Edenbridge station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs frequently have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Why act early in Puddledock
A defects or warranty period doesn’t last for ever. A snagging inspection before then leaves time to act. London’s older roofs frequently have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.

The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Puddledock we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- We inspect as far as safe access allows.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Booking a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
