Across London, the floor, access route and included surfaces are more useful than a flat or house label alone. For a converted townhouse, show the whole elevation, identify your windows and say whether the enquiry includes communal gutters or only your home.
Start with the service you need below, then choose the property type or measured area that fits the job. These benchmarks help you budget; the photographs, materials and access at your own home determine the full quote.
Islington’s multi-storey townhouses
Islington Council’s retrofit typology study describes Georgian homes commonly arranged over three or four floors, with large windows and, in some cases, small dormers at the top. This is one London property pattern, not a citywide template. This is one documented local example. Use the features that match your own home when preparing the enquiry.

Show the highest point and the space below it
Dormers, top-floor windows and high gutters may need a different access arrangement from the rest of the house. Take a wide photograph from ground level that includes the roofline and the working space below. Have any equipment or access cost included before comparing totals.

Choose between your home and shared parts
A flat-window visit, a shared gutter clearance and a whole-building clean need different briefs. State your floor and the surfaces involved. If the work includes communal parts, identify who is organising it and how the provider can access the building before requesting a total.
