Questions from Westbourne Green
Do you cover Westbourne Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Westbourne Green is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Westbourne Green?
Sometimes, yes. If Westbourne Green has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Can you inspect the roof on a new-build home?
Yes. We check new-build roofs from safe vantage points and the loft space and photograph what we find. Book before the defects period runs out if you can.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
How do I arrange new roof snagging in Westbourne Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when booking.
Do you lift tiles to check the fixings?
No, we report on what’s visible. Most fixings sit out of sight under the coverings so we focus on what can be seen.
New roof snagging in Westbourne Green
People book us after having a roof replaced or re-covered and some new-build owners want their roof looked at. We inspect each roof as far as safe access allows, from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe. You then get a photo-illustrated written report to share with your roofer. If you are worried about gaps at new flashings and cracked or slipped new tiles or slates, we can find out what’s behind it.
London’s housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to interwar semis, post-war estates and new blocks of flats, so a property in Westbourne Green might be any of these. Whether you are buying or have just had a roof replaced, the details that cause trouble depend on the age of the building. Slates, hidden valley gutters, parapets and flat roofs over back additions all need checking in their own way.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

The survey, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes an hour or two for a typical new house roof, longer where the roof is large or complicated. In Westbourne Green, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it’s useful to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start with what the roofer did and when they finished.
- The new coverings and roof edges are inspected as far as can be seen safely.
- We check valleys, flashings, gutters and the underlay at the eaves.
- The roof space and the rest of the property are checked for problems.
- You get a photo report of each snag.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in

What new roof snagging looks like in Westbourne Green
With Kensington Palace about 1 mile south, Westbourne Green sits in an area with a long building history. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Each material has its own typical faults, which is what a buyer or the owner of a new roof needs to know about.
Westbourne Green is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you own a rental within reach of London Paddington station, the roof is worth checking before you add another property to a portfolio or pay a roofer in full. For an older house near a landmark like St Mary Magdalene, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.
Westbourne Green is about 2 miles north-east of Kensington, in Greater London. Westbourne Green is part of the area we cover as part of our work across London and the South East. Westbourne Green is one of the places in Greater London where we work for new roof snagging.
All of W2, W9 and W11 is covered for new roof snagging. Local streets include Salem Road, Talbot Road and Harrow Road, and we cover them all. Westbourne Green is on the A404 and A4206, which makes it straightforward to reach. We also cover Little Venice (1 mile east), Westbourne (1 mile south-west), Maida Vale (1 mile north), Paddington Green (1 mile east) and Paddington (1 mile east). We also work in nearby towns such as London (4 miles east), St Pancras (3 miles east), Shoreditch (5 miles east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (5 miles east) and Whitechapel (5 miles east).
Landmarks near Westbourne Green

What we look for on each type of 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.
Flashings
Flashings close the gap where the roof meets walls and stacks. We check they’re dressed, fixed and pointed where they can be seen.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Defects and warranty periods have an end date. Checking the roof before it ends gives you time to raise anything we find. In Westbourne Green, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- Package prices that include VAT
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Legal advice on your contract
- Pricing the remedial work
- Fixings and underlay hidden under the coverings
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- New-build homes
- Replacement roofs
- Ridges and verges
- Flashings and valleys
- New flat roofs
- Loft conversions and dormers
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps when budgeting.
