Roofing, leadwork and stonework across Southall and Norwood Green, Dormers Wells, Hanwell, Osterley.
Southall has a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in natural slate, with inter-war housing around it. Slate roofs of that age fail at the nail rather than the slate, and the stacks need regular attention.
A great deal of Southall is Victorian and Edwardian terrace roofed in Welsh slate, and after that long the nails are the thing that gives way. You notice it as slates slipping one after another over a season, usually low down a slope first. Once that starts, patching becomes a running cost and a strip and re-slate is the better money. The terraces also have shared and party-wall chimney stacks, and those are frequently in poor mortar with flashing that has been sealed rather than leaded. Rear additions on the older terraces often have valley or butterfly gutters hidden between slopes, and when those block the water goes straight into the back bedroom. Norwood Green and Dormers Wells are more inter-war tile.

Both, and both in house. Chimney stacks, copes, skews and stone elevations are done by the same people who do the roof, which is the reason stonework is in the name.
