Brook Green homes and their roofs
Welsh slate on Victorian and Edwardian terraces is a familiar sight across inner London. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. Knowing the covering helps explain which parts of a roof are likely to need work first. With Kelmscott House about 0.8 miles south-west, Brook Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Shop and office owners around Hammersmith Broadway may find that a roof report helps plan work around trading rather than after a leak. If you live near a park such as St Paul's Gardens, or anywhere with mature trees, autumn leaves can block gutters and valleys, and an overflowing gutter soon means a wet wall.

Landlord roof survey in Brook Green
The lease typically decides who is responsible for the roof and who pays. We cannot advise on what your lease says but we can give you an independent record of the roof’s condition. That can help when owners, freeholders and agents need to agree what happens next. The report sets out what we saw, with photos and recommendations. If you’re worried about ponding or splits on flat roofs and failed flashings at walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
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. If your home in Brook Green has one, it needs checking from somewhere that can actually see it.
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.

Why act early in Brook Green
Finding a roof defect early usually means a smaller, planned job. Waiting for a leak can mean damage to ceilings, decorations and tenants’ belongings and force rushed work. In Brook Green, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below, which can lead to damp inside. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.

Common roof problems in Brook Green
Many let properties sit under roofs that have seen decades of weather. Nails, battens, flashings and underlay often fail before good slates or tiles, and a survey helps show where that’s happening.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Slipped or missing slates and tiles
- Cracked or lifting flashings
- Blocked gutters over flats
- Splits and blisters in flat roof coverings
Landlords with a home close to Kensington Olympia station may find that the gap between tenancies is a good time to have the roof looked at.
What to check before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- How soon the report will arrive
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on blocks and rear additions
Felt flat roofs often need replacing after around 15–20 years, so their age matters.
Gutters and downpipes
Water from failed gutters often shows as damp inside. We record what we see.

FAQs for Brook Green
Do you survey roofs for landlords with property near Kensington Olympia station?
Yes, rented property is part of what we cover. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, including who will give access on the day.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Brook Green?
Usually it’s manageable with a little notice. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we’ll work around them.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will you inspect a roof that several owners share?
Yes. We survey what we can access and see safely. Areas we couldn’t see are noted in the report.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Does the report help with maintenance planning?
Yes, that’s one of the main reasons clients book. A repeat survey later shows how the roof has changed to keep your plan up to date.
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Arrange flat access beforehand
- Keep past survey reports with the building’s records
- Keep roof outlets and gutters clear
- Make leak reporting easy for tenants
Questions about who pays under the lease are for your managing agent or a solicitor. What we provide is an independent record of condition to help those discussions.
Deal with the high-priority defects quickly, and plan the rest. Left alone, minor faults normally get worse.
The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it’s useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Brook Green runs like any other.
- We start with what you know about the building and its history.
- We confirm the access we’ll need.
- The roofs are inspected from ground level, vantage points, the loft space and the roof where safe.
- We note what couldn’t be seen as well as what could.
- You receive photos and recommendations, prioritised where relevant.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
