New roof snagging in Turnham Green
Ventilation matters on a new roof. We look for ridge, eaves or tile vents where they’ve been fitted and look in the roof space for condensation. What we see goes in the report. Missing or blocked ventilation can lead to condensation over time, so it is worth raising early. It all goes in the report. Typical surveys look at ridge and hip tiles not properly fixed and flashings not properly dressed or fixed, across loft conversions and dormers, new flat roofs and flashings and valleys.
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. For a purchase or a new roof in Turnham Green, 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 usually says who looks after the roof.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer.
How the survey changes by roof type
Underlay and ventilation
From the loft, we check the underlay and look for condensation.
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiled roofs often have snags at the verges and eaves. We look at them closely.
The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. Surveys in Turnham Green can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- Valleys, flashings, gutters and visible underlay at the eaves are checked.
- We check the loft where safe and look for debris or damage.
- Snags are listed in a report with photographs.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Advice
New roof snagging in Turnham Green: local notes
The wider area around Turnham Green has a long history of building, with Hogarth's House about 0.2 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Outer London has plenty 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. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Turnham Green is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when booking, as a space near the door cannot be promised. The streets around a church like St. Nicholas Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Useful tips for Turnham Green property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Let your roofer know an inspection is planned
- Check ceilings and the loft after heavy rain
- Put any issues to your roofer in writing
- Check before your warranty period ends
If anything in the report is not clear, ask us. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation and Premium an in-person consultation.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. Early signs are easier to raise while the work is recent.

What else we do in Turnham Green
Why act early in Turnham Green
Leaving debris in gutters can cause overflows that soak walls. Finding it now is simpler than tracing damp later. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before you book.

Can parking be tricky for a visit in Turnham Green?
Usually it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
What do you check on a new roof?
Everything we can see safely, from the ridge and verges down to the eaves and gutters. We look in the loft where it’s safe and check for damage left by the job.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Do you need new roof snagging in Turnham Green?
Flashings are a common source of snags. Loose or badly fitted flashings can let water in sooner rather than later.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Missing or blocked roof ventilation
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Debris left in gutters or valleys
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
If you let a flat or house near Chiswick station, a roof report gives you a clear picture before you buy or settle up with a roofer.
