Roof issues in Guildford.

Tile-hung elevation repairs

Many Guildford and Surrey Hills properties have tile-hung upper storeys that shield the walls from weather. These vertical tiles need periodic re-fixing and replacement as nails and battens fail.

Conservation area and listed roofs

The historic centre and Charlotteville have listed and conservation-area properties where any re-roof must match original handmade clay tiles or natural slate, with sensitive lead detailing.

Steep-pitch slate slippage

Victorian villas around Stoughton and Charlotteville use Welsh slate that develops nail sickness, causing slates to slip on the steep pitches typical of the period.

Valley and lead failures

The complex rooflines on Guildford's Victorian and Edwardian villas create valleys where lead linings crack and corrode, allowing leaks to track into party walls.
