What we look for on each type of roof
Fascias and soffits
Fascias carry the gutters, so a rotten fascia can let the gutter drop. We note soft, stained or damaged boards we can see.
Cast iron gutters
Cast iron tends to fail at the joints and fixings. We note corrosion, cracks and leaking joints where they can be seen.
About our gutter survey in Brentham Garden Suburb
Gutters have to slope gently towards the outlet or water sits in them. When brackets sag or joints part, water pools, drips and spills over at the low points. We check the line of each run as far as we can see it and look at the brackets and downpipe clips. You get written recommendations, prioritised by urgency where relevant. We survey parapet and box gutters, fascias and soffits and downpipes, and people most often book us about hoppers and outlets full of debris and cracked or loose downpipes.
Many London terraces have a butterfly roof, with two slopes meeting in a central valley gutter that drains to the rear. Hidden behind the parapet, that gutter can block or split without anyone seeing it. For a house in Brentham Garden Suburb with this kind of roof, the hidden gutter is one of the first things to check.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Brentham Garden Suburb
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Brentham Garden Suburb. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, and longer where there are parapet, valley or box gutters to follow. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so a visit in Brentham Garden Suburb moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, tell us who can let us into the shared parts.
- We start with what you’ve noticed, such as damp or overflowing gutters.
- The eaves gutters, downpipes and fascias are checked from ground level and windows.
- Valleys, parapets and box gutters are inspected where they can safely be seen.
- The loft space is checked for staining, where it can be reached safely.
- You receive a report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Arrange a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Gutter surveys around Brentham Garden Suburb
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. On roofs like these, good slates or tiles can outlast the nails, battens, lead and mortar around them. With Pitzhanger Manor about 1.1 miles south, Brentham Garden Suburb sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you own a rental within reach of Ealing Broadway station, the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, a written record of a large roof helps plan work for the holidays rather than in term time.

Why act early in Brentham Garden Suburb
A written report gives you a dated record of the gutters’ condition, which helps when you plan work or brief a contractor. Without it, you are relying on what can be seen from the pavement. In a London terrace or conversion, a roof defect rarely stays your problem alone: a blocked parapet gutter or slipped slate can let water into the flat below or the house next door. Finding it early keeps the work smaller.

Common questions in Brentham Garden Suburb
Can a landlord with a rental near Ealing Broadway station book a roof survey?
Of course. Let us know whether a tenant or an agent will let us in, and we can send the report to you or your agent.
Is my home in Brentham Garden Suburb listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you check if gutters are causing damp inside?
Overflowing gutters often lead to damp walls, and we check for exactly that. If the evidence points elsewhere, we’ll say so, based on what we can see.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
What happens after the survey?
You’ll get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
Can I check my roof myself?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Do you need a gutter survey in Brentham Garden Suburb?
Sometimes a gutter struggles with the area of roof draining into it. Added roof area from an extension can load an older gutter and the weakness shows in a heavy downpour.
People usually book a survey after spotting something like this:
- Rotten fascias or stained soffits
- Water spilling over the gutter edge
- Valley or box gutters that overflow inside
- Leaves and moss blocking gutters
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near London Designer Outlet, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What insurance they carry
- What the survey will not cover
