Roofing and guttering services for homes and commercial premises across London and surrounding M25 areas.
The service
Look after the roof and the details around it
Building Services London offers roofing and guttering services across East, North, South and West London and surrounding M25 areas. Whether you are considering work to an existing roof or including it within a wider building project, start with the property location and a clear description of the area involved.
Roofing and guttering enquiries can begin with a visible concern, a planned improvement or work associated with an extension. Explain what you have noticed and whether there is relevant project information already available. Photographs taken from a safe, accessible position can help describe the issue.
A description or photograph is a starting point, not a diagnosis. The condition, access and scope need to be established for the actual property. Avoid assuming that a visible internal mark identifies the precise source or extent of external work.
Explore the scope
Find the right starting point
Guttering
Explain which parts of the guttering are involved and any visible concerns about their condition or function.
Connected building work
Mention extensions, glazing or finishes affected by the proposed roof or guttering work.
Before you enquire
Describe the property and access
Include the postcode, property use and the approximate area involved. Mention access constraints, shared spaces and whether the building will be occupied. These details help establish what further information may be needed.
If you have records of previous work or an existing specification, explain what is available. Do not climb onto a roof to obtain information for an enquiry. Share observations from safe positions and discuss any inspection arrangements directly.
The quotation should identify the proposed work, materials where relevant and the limits of the scope. Access arrangements and any associated making-good should be expressly discussed rather than assumed.
Connected services
Consider related improvements
Roofing can form part of building and refurbishment work or a house extension. Include those connections when you enquire so the overall project can be understood.
If overhead glazing is involved, see Windows, Doors & Glazing. Describe whether the enquiry concerns the glazing, the surrounding roof or both.
Costs and timescales depend on the agreed work and the property. A project-specific quotation should clarify inclusions, exclusions and applicable guarantee terms.

Planning the work
Describe the roof issue and the wider context
A roofing enquiry should explain what you have observed and which part of the property is involved. Photographs taken safely from ground level and any existing reports are useful starting information. Mention previous repairs or recent building changes where known. Do not assume an internal stain or visible gutter problem establishes the cause or complete extent of the work needed.
Keep roofing and rainwater details connected in the discussion. If the proposal includes roof glazing, an extension or changes around the roof edge, share those plans alongside the roofing enquiry. Ask the quotation to distinguish investigation, repair or replacement, associated guttering and any internal making good. Access arrangements should also be described for the actual property.
Questions answered
Roofing & Guttering FAQs
What should I include in a roofing enquiry?
Your postcode, property use, a description of the roof area and any known access constraints. Available photographs can help, provided they can be taken safely.
Can I discuss guttering separately?
Yes. Describe the guttering involved and the concern or improvement you have in mind.
Can roofing be included with extension work?
Mention the connected work in your enquiry so it can be considered as part of the proposed scope.
Can I enquire without getting onto the roof?
Yes. Describe the issue and provide photographs only from a safe position. Include the property type, affected area and any relevant existing information. Access and assessment can be discussed for the proposal. Do not climb or move into a location you believe is unsafe simply to gather dimensions or images for an initial enquiry.
Should roof and gutter work be priced together?
Mention both where they are relevant, while keeping the tasks separately identifiable. A roof improvement may interact with rainwater details, but the quotation should state which items are included. Ask how the proposed access, removal, installation and finishing work relate to each element rather than assuming all roof-edge work forms one standard package.
What if the extent of a roof repair is uncertain?
Ask what assessment is needed and which assumptions underpin the initial proposal. Where further information changes the scope, the additional findings and proposed work should be explained before agreement. Keep investigation, the agreed repair and any related reinstatement distinct so you can understand what the quotation covers.
