About our new roof snagging in Stonebridge
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 the ground, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. A photo report follows, ready to share with your roofer or builder. If you are worried about broken coverings left on a new roof and underlay ending short at the eaves, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a London terrace or conversion, the roof often joins the neighbours’ roofs and shares their stacks and gutters, with parapet walls and party-wall upstands marking where one roof ends and the next begins. That matters for anyone buying in Stonebridge or checking a new roof there: we inspect what we are given access to and can see safely, which may not include a neighbour’s side. For a flat, the lease usually says who looks after the roof.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Stonebridge homes and their roofs
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. 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. Historic houses like Pitzhanger Manor, about 2.8 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Stonebridge goes. If your home is one of the older ones, 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.
Landlords with a home close to Harlesden station may find that a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one. As a London address, Stonebridge can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when you book, as a space near the door can’t be promised. The streets around a church like Saint Michael and All Angels are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.
Stonebridge is about 2 miles north of Acton, in Greater London. From houses to flats and shops in Stonebridge, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our Greater London coverage includes Stonebridge and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our London page.

What affects the price in Stonebridge
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How big the roof is
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the exact price before booking.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- When you need the report by
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Why act early in Stonebridge
Some faults only show when water gets in. An inspection before that point gives you a record of the roof as handed over. Any roof job in Stonebridge means planning around parking, neighbours and access. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there is time to plan.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Weekday and weekend surveys

Questions from Stonebridge
Do you cover Stonebridge?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Stonebridge as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Stonebridge?
Parking in Stonebridge, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when booking.
Will you check the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How long does new roof snagging take?
For a house, expect about 1–2 hours on site with commercial roofs nearer 3–4 hours.
What do you check on a new roof?
All the parts of the roof we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. The roof space is looked at where there’s safe access, and we note any mess or damage left after the work.
What we look for on each type of roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Well-laid tiles can last for decades. Cracked or uneven tiles are recorded as far as can be seen.
Flashings
Poorly finished flashings often show up on new roofs. We photograph any we find.

How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. For a visit in Stonebridge, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We agree what to focus on, such as a payment date or a warranty period ending.
- The roof is inspected from the ground, 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Useful tips for Stonebridge property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Keep the contract and invoices together
- Send the snagging report to your roofer
- Note the end of any warranty or defects period
Once the snags have been dealt with, keep the report with your roof paperwork. It’s a dated record of the roof at handover.
File the contract, invoices and warranty papers in one place. Add the snagging report to it.
