Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Wood Green?
It can be, so it’s useful to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
What does a new roof inspection cost?
New roof snagging starts from £150, including VAT. The size of the roof and how easy it is to see affect the price. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Which parts of the roof does snagging cover?
All the parts of the roof 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 we note any mess or damage left after the work.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
About our new roof snagging in Wood Green
Ideally, book snagging before you settle the final invoice while the roofer can still come back easily. 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. Typical surveys look at signs of condensation in the roof space and underlay not dressed into the gutter, across flashings and valleys, new flat roofs and ridges and verges.
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 Wood Green, 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 written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Diary the defects period end date
- Agree snagging with your roofer at the start
- Raise snags in writing with your roofer
- Walk round the house to look for knock-on damage
Once the work is finished, check the ceilings and loft after the next downpour. If anything shows, tell your roofer straight away.
Keep an eye on the roof and ceilings in the first months. It is simpler to raise problems soon after the job.
New roof snagging in Wood Green: local notes
Historic houses such as Bruce Castle, about 1.4 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Wood Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. 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. 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.
Landlords with a home close to Alexandra Palace station may find that a survey before purchase, or before signing off a new roof, saves surprises once a tenant moves in. The streets around a church such as Church of St Michael and All Angels are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, a survey will show how the roof has been repaired before, which helps you judge what’s coming.

Why get it checked now?
A minor snag left alone can turn into a leak. Loose details can let water through during the first winter. Finding them early means they can be dealt with quickly. Behind a London parapet, a blocked gutter can sit full of water without anyone seeing it. When the stain finally shows, the damage underneath is often older than it looks.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much new work there is to check. In a London area like Wood Green, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space and from the roof where it is safe.
- First, we note any deadlines and concerns.
- The roof is inspected from ground level, vantage points and the roof where safe.
- Each detail at ridges, verges, valleys and flashings is looked at.
- Debris and damage to other parts are recorded.
- We send a written report you can pass on.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Clay and concrete tiles
Interlocking tiles need to sit neatly in line. Any that look wrong go in the report.
Ridges, hips and verges
Verges are easy to get wrong, so we look at them carefully.
What we are asked to look at in Wood Green
Most householders cannot get a good look at their new roof. Without an independent check, you’re relying on what can be seen from the ground before you pay.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Loose or badly finished ridge tiles
- Verge tiles or slates not secured
- Tiles or slates sitting out of line
- Underlay ending short at the eaves
Parking in Wood Green, as in most of London, takes a little planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
