New roof snagging in Strand-on-the-Green, Greater London
Wondering about the new roof at a property in Strand-on-the-Green? You can book new roof snagging in Strand-on-the-Green and across Greater London, with plain-English findings.
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay not dressed into the gutter
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
Why act early in Strand-on-the-Green
Some faults only show when water gets in. Checking early gives you a record of the roof’s condition at handover. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork, which can lead to damp inside. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
What you get with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Photographs and a written report every time
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID

About our new roof snagging in Strand-on-the-Green
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered, and buyers of new-build homes sometimes want the roof checked. Whatever the roof, we inspect as far as it can be seen safely, 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. We survey new flat roofs, ridges and verges and replacement roofs, and people most often book us about poorly finished verges and debris left in gutters or valleys.
Homes across London range from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war blocks and new developments, so a property in Strand-on-the-Green 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. Slates, hidden valley gutters, parapets and flat roofs over back additions all need checking in their own way.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the new roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date

Strand-on-the-Green: your questions answered
Is Strand-on-the-Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Strand-on-the-Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Strand-on-the-Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Strand-on-the-Green?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway as you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No. We inspect what can be seen without opening up the roof, so fixings under the coverings can’t be checked. The report says what could and couldn’t be seen.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
What’s the best time to have a new roof checked?
As soon as the work is finished, and before the final payment if you can. That gives time for any snags to be put right.
New roof snagging in Strand-on-the-Green: local notes
Outer London has lots of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Material and age explain a lot of what turns up on the day, whether the roof is old or brand new. With Kew Palace about 0.7 miles west, Strand-on-the-Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Strand-on-the-Green is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway when you book. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Paul's Church, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Honest limits
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A promise that the roof will not leak
- What’s under the new coverings
- Deciding who is at fault in a disagreement

Do you need new roof snagging in Strand-on-the-Green?
Debris left behind is common after roof work. Broken tiles, offcuts and nails can block gutters and on extension roofs.

- Gaps at new flashings
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Untidy or loose verge details
For landlords with property near Chiswick station, a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in.
What to check before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- When you will get the report
How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In Strand-on-the-Green, as in much of London, lots 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. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can safely be seen.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- The loft space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a photo-illustrated written report.
How to prepare
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

Roof by roof
Ridges, hips and verges
The top and edges of a roof are the most exposed. We check mortar, dry-fix systems and fixings where they can be seen.
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the loft space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
