New roof snagging in Selhurst
We report on what we see, with photographs and clear descriptions. If there is a disagreement about the work, it’s between you and your roofer or builder. What we provide is an independent record of the roof’s condition. The report does not price repairs or settle who is responsible, but it describes what we saw in plain terms. If you’ve noticed missing or blocked roof ventilation and untidy or loose verge details, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Homes across London range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war blocks and new developments, so a property in Selhurst might be any of these. Whether the roof is old or newly laid, the problem areas depend on how and when the building went up. Slate roofs, butterfly valleys, parapet gutters and flat-roofed rear additions each have their own weak points.
What you get is a clear record of the new roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

How we price new roof snagging
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Which survey package you book
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.
What we need to know
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What made you get in touch
- Anything about access we should know
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Why get it checked now?
A clear list of snags makes the conversation with your roofer easier. It keeps things factual. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

FAQs for Selhurst
Is parking a problem for a survey in Selhurst?
It can be, so it is useful to let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How do I find out if my home in Selhurst is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
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.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
What new roof snagging looks like in Selhurst
Historic houses such as Kingswood House, about 2.2 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Selhurst goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. For a purchase or a newly finished roof, the materials decide which details matter most.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Selhurst, along with any off-street space. Landlords with a home close to Norwood Junction station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is often from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it is useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Selhurst runs like any other.
- First, you tell us what the roofer did and any concerns you have.
- We look at the tiles or slates, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it is safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- We send a photo-illustrated written report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
