New Roof Snagging in Streatham Park
We carry out new roof snagging in Streatham Park and the rest of Greater London. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
- Signs of condensation in the roof space
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Book snagging before the final payment
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
- Look for debris left in gutters from the ground
- File all paperwork for the new roof
The report lists each snag with photos and recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can send it straight to your roofer.
Watch for leaks, damp or loose pieces in the first months. It’s simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
New roof snagging for homes and businesses in Streatham Park
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice, while the roofer is still on hand. If you’ve already paid, check before any defects or warranty period runs out. That gives you time to raise any snags. Our report gives you a clear, photographed list of snags to send to your roofer before the deadline. We’re frequently asked to look into gutters or fascias damaged during the job and gaps at new flashings, across ridges and verges, loft conversions and dormers and replacement roofs.
Many London homes have been converted into flats, extended at the back or given a loft conversion with a dormer. Every alteration brings new junctions, flashings and flat-roof areas to look at. For a purchase in Streatham Park, or for new roofing work there, those junctions deserve a proper look. Dormer cheeks, lead work and new flat roofs are worth checking closely, as faults there are easy to miss.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Do you need new roof snagging in Streatham Park?
Snags happen on many building jobs. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush particularly in poor weather.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Offcuts and broken tiles left behind
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
- Poorly finished verges
- Gaps at new flashings
The streets around a church such as Parish Church of St Alban are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older patch repairs can hide behind a tidy front slope, and the survey looks past them.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Their insurance cover
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey normally takes about one to two hours at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Streatham Park moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We ask what work was done and when it was finished.
- The coverings, ridges, hips and verges are checked as far as can be seen safely.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves are looked at.
- Where it’s safe, we check the loft, then look for debris or damage left behind.
- The snags are written up with photos for you to share with your roofer.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Prices for new roof snagging in Streatham Park
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The roof’s overall size
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Booking your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- The address and postcode of the property

- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Local roofs and buyers in Streatham Park
Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. With Kingswood House about 2.6 miles east, Streatham Park sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
Parking in Streatham Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier. If you let a flat or house near Streatham station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.

Streatham Park questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Streatham Park?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Streatham Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
When should I book new roof snagging?
Ideally before you make the final payment so snags can be raised while the job is still open. If that’s passed, book before any defects or warranty period ends.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Is snagging available for a new-build house roof?
Yes. We inspect the roof as far as it can safely be seen and record any snags. It is worth booking before your builder’s defects period ends.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We look at how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
Underlay and ventilation
Vents at the ridge, eaves or in the tiles help keep the roof space dry. We check for vents where they’ve been fitted.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
