What should Stanmore homeowners know?

Old Church Lane and Stanmore Hill keep Georgian and Victorian buildings with slate and clay tiles. Large Edwardian and interwar detached homes on Stanmore Hill and around Stanmore Common have steep plain tile roofs and tall chimneys. Interwar semis cover much of the rest, and many larger houses have been rebuilt or extended with flat roofs.

What goes wrong on Stanmore roofs?

Exposure on the hill. Homes high on Stanmore Hill catch the wind, loosening ridges, verges and older plain tiles.

Large flat roofs. Rebuilt and extended houses have big flat roofs that fail at edges and outlets.

Chimney stacks. Tall stacks on Edwardian houses lose flaunching and lead, letting water into chimney breasts.

How do we do gutter cleaning?

We clear gutters with a gutter vacuum, working from the ground where possible and to working-at-height rules where not. Because we are roofers, we also photograph the gutters and roof edge and tell you if anything needs attention.

Questions

Gutter cleaning in Stanmore: FAQs
