New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Roehampton
A new roof is a big spend, so it makes sense to check the work before you pay the final bill. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the new roof and around it. You get a report with photos to share with your roofer. We’re independent of the roofer who did the job. We survey new-build homes, new flat roofs and loft conversions and dormers, and people most often book us about damage to other parts of the building and loose flashings at walls or chimneys.
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 Roehampton, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a proper look. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Signs you need new roof snagging in Roehampton
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed
- Gaps at new flashings
- Gutters or fascias damaged during the job
As a London address, Roehampton can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when booking.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- Will the report include photos?
Local roofs and buyers in Roehampton
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most. About 1.3 miles north-east lies Fulham Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Roehampton has been built on. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
For an older house near a landmark like St Margaret's Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. For landlords with property near Barnes station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Roehampton
Is parking a problem for a survey in Roehampton?
Normally it is manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Do you cover Roehampton?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Roehampton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details as you book.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Will you check the loft?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
For landlords and managing agents
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Roof by roof
Slate roofs
Good natural slate is very long-lasting, so a new slate roof should be laid well. We look for slipped, cracked or uneven slates.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. They get close attention.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect about 1–2 hours at a typical home, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In Roehampton, as in much of London, plenty of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us as you book.
- 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 checked.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Arrange a survey
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Useful tips for Roehampton property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Look for marks or cracks left by the work
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Check that gutters weren’t left full of offcuts
After the snags are sorted, watch the roof in the next heavy rain. If anything shows, tell your roofer right away.
Do not settle the final bill until the roof has been inspected, where your contract allows. It keeps the job open until it’s right.
Why act early in Roehampton
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps the focus on what can be seen. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
