New Roof Snagging in Welling
New roof snagging in Welling and the rest of Greater London. We survey seven days a week.
- Broken coverings left on a new roof
- Gaps at new flashings
- Cracked mortar at the ridge or hips
What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges, hips and verges
Verge details can be rushed, so we look at them carefully.
Flashings
Flashings seal the roof to walls and chimneys. We check how they’re dressed, fixed and pointed.
How new roof snagging works in Welling
We check the coverings, ridges, verges, hips and valleys plus flashings and roof ventilation. We check the underlay at the eaves where it is visible as well as the gutters. You get a photo report of what we found. Any debris left behind or damage to other parts is recorded too. We survey new flat roofs, ridges and verges and new-build homes, and people most frequently book us about underlay not dressed into the gutter 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, and a home in Welling could be any of them. Whether the roof is old or newly laid, the problem areas depend on how and when the building went up. Slate roofs, butterfly valleys, parapet gutters and flat-roofed rear additions each have their own weak points.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

What affects the price in Welling
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The roof’s overall size
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Helping us price your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a visit in Welling, 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 whatever is safely visible from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- You let us know what work was done and when.
- We check the coverings, ridges, hips and verges from safe vantage points.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- Snags are listed in a written report with photos.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Book a survey
We confirm the price for your roof before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £150, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Landlord and commercial surveys in Welling
Landlords, agents and building managers in Welling and across Greater London can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.

What else we do in Welling
New roof snagging around Welling
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. If your home in Welling is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. The covering on a house you are buying, or on a roof just finished, tells us where to look hardest. With Danson House about 0.4 miles south-east, Welling sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you let a flat or house near Welling station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Welling. Take an older house close to St John's Church: ask the seller about past roof repairs, because older roofs often have patched valleys, replaced slates and reset ridges.

Questions from Welling
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Welling?
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.
Is Welling in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Welling is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you settle a dispute with my builder?
No, our role is to record the roof’s condition. Any dispute stays between you and your roofer or builder, and you may want legal advice for that.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Can you survey in bad weather?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain. High wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Will you check the loft?
Usually, if there is one and it can be reached safely. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
