Homes and roofs in Earls Court
Earls Court's housing is tall Victorian terraces of four and five storeys around garden squares, nearly all of them divided into flats, with mansion blocks along the main roads. Roofs are slate, often hidden behind parapets, with long valley gutters and back additions stepping down at the rear.
Roofing work most asked for in Earls Court
Earls Court calls come mainly from flat owners and agents in tall converted houses: main roof re-slating, parapet and valley gutter relining, chimney repointing and flat roof rebuilds on back additions.
The faults we fix on Earls Court roofs
Earls Court roofs suffer from age and height: slipped slates on the main slopes, worn parapet and valley gutters, stacks with failed pointing, and flat roofs on back additions that have been patched many times over.
What your free survey in Earls Court checks
On a tall Earls Court terrace the drone does most of the survey work: main slopes, parapet and valley gutters, stacks and the flat roofs on the back additions. You get photos of every part of the roof without scaffold going up first.
Weather and exposure
The tall terraces of SW5 put their roofs four or five storeys up, open to the weather, and the garden squares and Brompton Cemetery nearby add leaves to the gutters each autumn.
Streets and postcodes we cover
We cover Earls Court across SW5, including Earls Court Square, Nevern Square, Philbeach Gardens, Warwick Road and the streets towards West Brompton.
Access and planning
Tall roofs and shared ownership mean careful planning. We arrange scaffold or roof access with the managing agent and every owner, and set the scope in writing.
