Homes and roofs in Chiswick
Chiswick's housing includes the red-brick Queen Anne style houses of Bedford Park, Georgian riverside houses at Strand on the Green, Victorian villas in Grove Park and Edwardian terraces around Turnham Green. Clay plain tiles, tile-hung gables and decorative ridge tiles are a big part of the local roofscape.
Roofing work most asked for in Chiswick
Chiswick calls are mostly for clay plain tile repairs and relays, tile-hung gables, decorative ridges, lead at dormers and chimneys, and flat roofs on the many rear extensions.
The faults we fix on Chiswick roofs
Chiswick's clay tiles fail when their nibs break or the nails rust, so tiles slip and gaps open. Tile-hung gables lose tiles in high winds, decorative ridges loosen and the lead at dormers and stacks lifts.
What your free survey in Chiswick checks
A Chiswick survey checks the clay plain tiles for slipped and laminating tiles, the tile-hung gables, the decorative ridges, the lead at dormers and stacks, and the flat roofs over the rear extensions.
Weather and exposure
Chiswick runs down to the Thames at Strand on the Green, and the riverside houses take the wind off the water. Inland, the mature trees of Bedford Park, Turnham Green and Chiswick House Gardens fill gutters with leaves.

Access and planning
Bedford Park and other parts of Chiswick are conservation areas, so repairs are like for like with matching tiles and ridges. We plan scaffold around front gardens and trees.
