Common questions in Brentford End
Is my home in Brentford End listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Brentford End?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Do you advise on who is responsible under the lease?
No. The lease typically decides who is responsible and we don’t give legal advice. Our report gives an independent record of the roof’s condition to help those discussions.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
How a landlord roof survey works in Brentford End
Roofs on let houses and blocks of flats are easy to forget until something leaks. A condition survey lets you find problems before they become leaks, and plan work rather than react to it. The findings come in a written report with photos to keep on file for the building. Many clients repeat the survey on a rolling basis to see how the roof is changing. Typical surveys look at leaking joints at party walls and flashings that have come away, on flat roofs on blocks, blocks of flats and gutters and downpipes.
London has a great many flats in converted houses and purpose-built blocks, where the roof is typically a shared part of the building. Landlords, managing agents and residents’ companies need to know what condition it is in and what work is coming up. Leaks from a shared roof rarely affect just one home. A report gives everyone the same picture to plan from, with photos.
What you get is a clear record of the let or shared roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What we look for on each type of roof
Shared chimney stacks
Chimneys frequently let water in at the flashings. We record anything visible.
Pitched roofs on houses and blocks
Ridges, hips and verges take a lot of weather, so we check them closely.
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Surveys in Brentford End can be booked for any day of the week. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- First, we confirm the scope and the purpose of the report.
- Access to flats and the roof space is arranged by you or your agent.
- We inspect each roof as far as it can be seen safely.
- We photograph defects and note how urgent they look.
- You get a written report to plan maintenance and budgets.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know about parking near the property
Arrange a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What affects the price in Brentford End
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Height and safe access
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book.
What we need to know
We will normally ask about:
- When you need the report by
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The property’s address and postcode
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What a landlord roof survey doesn’t cover
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Who pays under the lease (that’s a legal question)
- Asbestos testing of roof sheets or soffits
- A full structural assessment of the building

Why act early in Brentford End
On a shared roof, disagreements are easier to settle with a clear record. Without one, each party may have a different view of what’s wrong. 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. Dealing with it early is far less disruptive.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Roofs, chimneys and gutters in Brentford End
With Syon House about 0.5 miles south-east, Brentford End sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Whichever you have, the details that tend to fail before the covering itself get the closest look.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Lawrence are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. Trees in and around Boston Manor Park shed leaves that can end up in nearby gutters, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Treaty Centre, a written record of the roof’s condition helps you plan maintenance rather than react to leaks.
