About our roof survey in Brentham Garden Suburb
Roof coverings last a long time, but not for ever. Natural slate can last 100 years or more, and clay and concrete tiles commonly 50 years or more, yet nails, battens and underlay frequently fail first. We tell you which parts are ageing and which are sound. Knowing that helps you plan work before it becomes urgent. Typical surveys look at gaps in the roof where coverings have gone and cracked mortar along the ridge, across clay and concrete tiles, ridges, hips and valleys and natural slate.
London has Victorian and Edwardian terraces in almost every borough, many with Welsh slate roofs, shared chimney stacks and parapet or valley gutters. Good slates can last over a hundred years, yet the nails often give out first and let slates slip. In Brentham Garden Suburb, as across London, that’s why a roof needs a proper look rather than a glance from the street. Shared chimney stacks and the lead around them are just as important to check.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Roof by roof
Clay plain and peg tiles
Where tiles hang on walls or dormers, we check them too. Gaps in tile-hanging let water reach the wall behind.
Concrete interlocking tiles
Interlocking tiles on shallow roofs depend on their laps and fixings. Lifted or cracked tiles are noted, especially at the verges and ridge.

Why it is worth a survey now in Brentham Garden Suburb
Valley gutters and parapet gutters are out of sight until they overflow. When they do, water comes straight into the house. A survey checks them while they’re still dry. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is often on a shared landing. Where that is the case, access needs agreeing with whoever controls that landing. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.
- We help you choose a Basic, Standard or Premium Survey.
- On the day, we start by hearing what you’ve noticed.
- Coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are inspected and photographed.
- Extra checks are carried out where your package includes them.
- You get a written report with photos and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey

FAQs for Brentham Garden Suburb
I let a flat near Ealing Broadway station. Can you check the roof?
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.
How do I find out if my home in Brentham Garden Suburb is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much does a roof survey cost in Brentham Garden Suburb?
Our price is from £150, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
How long does a roof survey take?
Allow between one and two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll confirm what to expect when we arrange the visit.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Can you tell me how long my roof will last?
Not as an exact number, since the fixings, underlay and maintenance all play a part. What we do is explain the roof’s condition and what to deal with first.
Signs you need a roof survey in Brentham Garden Suburb
The coverings are rarely the first thing to fail. ‘Nail fatigue’ is common on slate roofs: the nails rust and the slates slide. On tiled roofs, battens and pegs can rot, letting tiles move.
Common reasons to book include:
- Torn or sagging underlay
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Blocked, sagging or leaking gutters
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
If you live in an older home near Church of St Barnabas, the nails, lead and mortar on the roof may be wearing out even where the slates or tiles look fine.

Local roofs in Brentham Garden Suburb
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Pitzhanger Manor, about 1.1 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Brentham Garden Suburb. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, its roofs, gutters and any chimneys need the same checks as a house’s, just on a bigger scale. If you run a business near London Designer Outlet, knowing the roof’s condition lets you budget for work rather than pay for emergencies.
