New roof snagging in Surbiton Park
Our snagging inspections cover Surbiton Park and the rest of London and the South East. A visit usually takes about one to two hours for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. Everything visible from safe vantage points is looked at, and by drone where it’s applicable. A photo report follows. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If you are worried about cracked or slipped new tiles or slates and untidy or loose verge details, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a London terrace or conversion, the roof frequently 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. For a purchase or a new roof in Surbiton Park, that shapes what can be checked: only the parts we are given access to and can see safely are inspected. For a flat, the lease normally says who looks after the roof.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

Your questions about new roof snagging in Surbiton Park
Do you carry out roof surveys in Surbiton Park?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Surbiton Park is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Is my home in Surbiton Park listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you get involved if the roofer disagrees with the report?
No. We report on what we see. Any dispute is between you and your roofer or builder, and the report gives you a clear record to refer to.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you when booking.
How long does new roof snagging take?
Most house visits take about 1–2 hours, and longer for large or complex roofs.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Common roof problems in Surbiton Park
Even good roofers can leave snags at the end of a job. Details at ridges, verges and flashings are easy to rush, especially when the weather is against them.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gutters blocked by building debris
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Underlay at the eaves left exposed
If you let a flat or house near Surbiton station, a written report helps before buying a rental or paying for a new roof on one.
Before you book anyone
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What the survey will not cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Will the report include photos?
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
New roof snagging in Surbiton Park: local notes
Hampton Court Palace, about 1.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Surbiton Park. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Surbiton Park is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. The covering on a house you’re buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest.
Surbiton Park is in London, so parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier, as a space near the door cannot be promised. If you live in an older home near St John's Church, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Roof by roof
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. They get close attention.
Flashings
Chimney flashings are a frequent source of leaks, so we look at them closely.
What affects the price in Surbiton Park
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
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.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
The survey, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the new roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit usually takes between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a visit in Surbiton Park, 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. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from the ground, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
Getting a price
Prices start from £150, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form to find out.
