Roofers in Kingston upon Thames

Yes. We cover the whole of Kingston upon Thames across the KT1 and KT2 postcodes, from the town centre, the Market Place and the old streets around the Guildhall and All Saints Church to Norbiton, Canbury, North Kingston, Coombe and Kingston Hill. Our West Molesey base is just over Kingston Bridge, so no part of the town is out of our way.

Because the housing changes so much from one street to the next, we arrive prepared for all of it. Near the river and Canbury Gardens you'll mostly find Victorian and Edwardian terraces and riverside apartments, Norbiton and Canbury add solid inter-war stock, and up towards Coombe Warren the roofs become large, multi-pitched and heavily shaded by trees.

Whatever the property, the same team of roofers in Kingston upon Thames looks after it from the first visit to the final sweep-up, with no subcontracting. One roofing company covers repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs, chimneys, leadwork, gutters, fascias, soffits and gutter cleaning, so there's no need to juggle trades.

Inspections are free, every quote is clear and in writing, and there is never a call-out fee or a deposit to pay before work begins.

Yes, and they are some of the most detailed roofs we take on. The substantial houses on Kingston Hill and across the private Coombe estate carry big multi-pitched roofs in tile or slate, often with several chimney stacks, dormers and a run of valleys where the slopes meet.

On a roof this size, a small fault rarely stays small. A split valley lead or a lifted flashing behind a stack can let water travel a long way under heavy tree cover before it shows on a ceiling, and by then the internal damage can be costly. That is why we inspect the whole roof, not just the patch you've noticed, and photograph everything so you see what we see.

Typical work on Coombe's larger homes is valley renewal, chimney repointing and re-flashing, dormer repairs, tile and slate replacement and, eventually, a full re-roof. New roof installations come with our 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, and every repair carries our workmanship warranty.

We have fixed and fitted more than 600 roofs, and as roofers in Kingston upon Thames we plan access carefully on big sites and leave them clean and tidy at the end of every day.

Yes. Failing flat roofs on rear and side extensions are one of the most common problems we see in Kingston upon Thames, on inter-war homes in Norbiton and Victorian terraces near the Market Place alike. Most were covered in felt, which blisters, holds ponding water and eventually fails at the upstands where the roof meets the house wall.

Patching old felt only buys a little time. We usually recommend stripping it back to the deck, checking the timbers and replacing it with a seamless GRP fibreglass roof or a modern single-ply membrane such as EPDM rubber. Proper falls are built in so rain drains to the gutter rather than sitting in puddles, and new trims finish the edges neatly.

The flats in the town centre and around Kingston University often have larger flat roofs and roof terraces, and we handle those too, planning access carefully where a building is tall or tightly packed.

Every flat roof we lay comes with a written quote that names the materials, photos at each stage and our workmanship warranty. If yours is already leaking, we can make it watertight temporarily and come back for the full replacement.

Usually the same day, where we can, because Kingston is a short drive from our West Molesey base over Kingston Bridge. Our emergency line runs around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays, and there is no call-out fee.

The first job is always to stop the water. We make the roof safe with temporary tarping or weatherproofing, whether that is storm damage on a big Coombe roof, a slipped section of slate on a Norbiton terrace or a flat roof that has given way over an extension. Once the property is secure, we photograph the damage and give you a written quote for the permanent repair.

Leaks rarely arrive at a convenient time, so please ring rather than wait for the morning. Call us on 07470 744247 and tell us where the water is coming in. WhatsApp is the quickest way to send a photo, if it is safe to take one.

Emergency roof repairs in Kingston upon Thames are carried out by our own roofers, with the same workmanship warranty and the same care as any planned job.

Yes. Homes near the Thames, the Hogsmill and Canbury Gardens sit in a humid, low-lying setting where moss grows quickly on shaded slopes. Left alone, it lifts tiles, holds damp against the battens and washes down into valleys and gutters until they block and overflow.

We remove the moss carefully, then clear valleys, gutters and downpipes so water runs off the roof freely again. Gutter cleaning in Kingston upon Thames is well worth booking after autumn leaf fall, when the mature trees along the riverside and up on Kingston Hill drop their leaves straight into the gutters.

While we are up there, we carry out a roof health check, looking for slipped tiles, tired pointing, split lead and signs of rotten battens, so small problems are caught before they turn into ceiling stains. You get photos of what we found, and anything that needs further work is quoted separately, with no pressure to go ahead.

Regular gutter cleaning costs far less than putting right the damage an overflowing valley can cause, and it is one of the simplest ways to keep a Kingston roof healthy.

It depends on the roof, the access and how far the problem has spread, so we don't publish fixed prices. What we do offer is a free inspection and a clear written quote before any work starts, with no call-out fee and no deposit.

In Kingston upon Thames the biggest factor is usually the type of house. Re-fixing a few slipped slates on a Victorian terrace in Canbury or Norbiton is a small job, while a leaking valley on a multi-pitched roof in Coombe may need scaffolding and more time to reach and repair properly. Hidden valley gutters behind parapets, shared chimney stacks and lead that needs renewing all add work, as do taller town-centre buildings where access has to be planned. If the property is in one of the town's conservation areas, matching the original materials can also affect the price.

Our quotes name the materials and suppliers, explain each item and include photos of the problem, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. We will also beat any genuine quote without cutting corners.

As a local roofing company, we would rather price the right roof repair in Kingston upon Thames honestly than sell you a patch that fails next winter.
