New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Spring Grove
A new roof is a big spend, so it is worth having it checked before the final payment. We look for snags, faults and anything left unfinished on the roof and around the property. The findings go into a written report with photos that you can pass to your roofer. It is an independent check, separate from the roofer who did the work. If you’ve noticed offcuts and broken tiles left behind and gaps at new flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, on new-build homes, replacement roofs and ridges and verges alike.
In London, plenty of 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 Spring Grove, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a proper look. Lead work around dormers and new flat roofs is easy to get wrong and easy to miss.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Common roof problems in Spring Grove
Vents can be left out, or insulation pushed against the eaves. Poor ventilation can lead to condensation in the loft.
Problems we come across often include:
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
If you let a flat or house near Isleworth station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Why it’s worth a survey now in Spring Grove
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. 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.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £150, including VAT.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the new roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In Spring Grove, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is frequently by permit or pay-and-display, so it’s useful to know what’s near you. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- We work through ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
- We check the gutters, lower roofs and walls for debris or damage.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

What else we do in Spring Grove
Useful tips for Spring Grove property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Look for new stains after a downpour
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It records the roof’s condition at that point.
Note the end date of any defects or warranty period. Arrange an inspection in good time so snags can be raised.
Questions from Spring Grove
Do you carry out roof surveys in Spring Grove?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Spring Grove is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Spring Grove?
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.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder though our report gives you the facts we saw.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
How much is new roof snagging?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The price depends on the size of the roof and the access. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Local roofs and buyers in Spring Grove
In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about. The wider area around Spring Grove has a long history of building, with Osterley House about 0.7 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mary's Church, the roof’s history matters as much as its looks, and a survey brings the past repairs to light. For a London address like Spring Grove, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
