How we price new roof snagging
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Which survey package you book
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them

New roof snagging in Stamford Hill
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can safely be seen, from ground level, vantage points, the roof space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you’ve noticed verge tiles or slates not secured and cracked mortar at the ridge or hips, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
London terraces and converted houses often share a roof line, chimney stacks and gutters with the house next door, with parapet walls and party-wall upstands marking where one roof ends and the next begins. That matters for anyone buying in Stamford Hill or checking a new roof there: only the parts we are given access to and can see safely are inspected. If it’s a flat, the lease typically sets out who is responsible for the roof.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Do you need new roof snagging in Stamford Hill?
Roofers don’t always clear every gutter and lower roof. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters or damage lower roofs.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Poorly finished verges
For a London address like Stamford Hill, it’s useful to know about controlled parking before the day.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their insurance cover
- When you’ll get the report
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Landlords, agents and block managers in Stamford Hill
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed in advance. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Stamford Hill moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- We start by finding out what was replaced and what worries you.
- We check 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.
- You get a photo report listing the snags we found.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Find any records of previous roof work

Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.

What else we do in Stamford Hill
Local roofs and buyers in Stamford Hill
Historic houses like Sutton House, about 1.8 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Stamford Hill goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces frequently have Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new.
For landlords with property near Stamford Hill station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, the roof may have had decades of patch repairs, and the survey shows where they are.

FAQs for Stamford Hill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stamford Hill?
Yes, Stamford Hill is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Stamford Hill?
Usually it is manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is usually fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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.
What we look for on each type of roof
Slate roofs
Natural slate can last 100 years or more, so the laying matters. Cracked, slipped or uneven slates are noted.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks and are checked closely.
