FAQs for Brentford End
Do you carry out roof surveys in Brentford End?
Yes, Brentford End is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Brentford End is listed?
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.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
Can I challenge a declined storm claim?
Complain to your insurer first. If you’re still unhappy, you may be able to take it to the Financial Ombudsman Service. An independent report can add to your evidence, though we cannot predict the outcome.
Can I check the roof after a storm?
Safely, from the ground or a window. Never climb onto a roof after a storm. Binoculars can help you see damage from below and we will inspect the rest from safe positions.
About our storm damage roof report in Brentford End
If your roof has been damaged, stay safe first. Take photos from ground level or from windows, and don’t climb onto the roof. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. We then record the damage in a report you can pass to your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Typical surveys look at lead lifted at abutments and water coming in after the storm, across flashings, ridges and hips and slate and tile slopes.
In London, leaks frequently start somewhere hidden: a butterfly roof’s central valley gutter, a parapet gutter, a chimney flashing or a flat roof over a back addition. Whether you’re tracing a leak or recording storm damage in Brentford End, those are among the first places to look. A hidden gutter that overflows can send water a long way before it shows.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later.

Checking the roof from ground level
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.

What a storm damage roof report looks like 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. Different coverings let water in at different points, which shapes where the search starts.
For businesses in and around places like Treaty Centre, water through a ceiling can damage stock and close a sales floor, so the source needs finding fast. For site and facilities teams at buildings like The Green School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain.

The survey, step by step
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. All told, expect about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a London conversion, the way into the roof space is frequently from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it helps to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Everything else is planned around the building, not the postcode.

What we are asked to look at in Brentford End
Branches and trees often come down on roofs during storms. We record the damage and where it is, backed up with photos.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- New damp or leaks inside
- Gutters pulled loose in the wind
- Damage from fallen branches or debris
- Loose or torn flashings
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Lawrence, old mortar, worn lead and slipped slates are the usual suspects when water gets in.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- When you will get the report
- What exactly goes into their report
Why get it checked now?
It’s useful to get a record soon after the storm, while the damage is fresh. Later weather and temporary repairs can make it harder to see what happened. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book us in Brentford End
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
