For a Bearsden villa with a raised ground floor or a substantial extension, use photographs to explain the height and layout. A detached-house benchmark is only a starting point; the working space and included elevations make the quote specific to 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.

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.
For your quoteShow every floor and anything below it that restricts the working position.
Include additions to the original house
A garage, lean-to, conservatory or rear extension may add glass and gutters while reducing the working space below upstairs windows. Include those additions in the same set of photographs. Ask whether their roofs, gutter runs and downpipes are included in each proposal.
