Homes and roofs in Hammersmith
Hammersmith has Georgian and Regency houses along the river, larger Victorian houses around Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park, and tightly packed terraces between King Street and Fulham Palace Road. Slate roofs with back additions are the norm, and flat roofs on extensions and dormers are on almost every street.
Roofing work most asked for in Hammersmith
Hammersmith calls lean towards flat roof rebuilds on rear additions and dormers, slate re-roofs on Victorian terraces, lead renewal at dormers and chimneys, and chimney repointing across long terraced runs.
The faults we fix on Hammersmith roofs
Hammersmith flat roofs fail through ponding where the falls are wrong, splits at the edges, and decks that have gone soft under old felt. On the main roofs we see slipped slates, lifted dormer lead and stacks that need repointing.
What your free survey in Hammersmith checks
Hammersmith surveys focus on the flat roofs: we check the covering, the falls, the edges and the deck underneath where we can, then the slate slopes, the dormers and the stacks along the terrace.
Weather and exposure
Hammersmith's riverside streets near the Upper Mall and Hammersmith Bridge are open to wind along the Thames, while the parks at Ravenscourt and Brook Green drop leaves into nearby gutters each autumn.
