Roofers in New Malden

Yes. We cover all of KT3, meaning New Malden itself, Malden Manor, Motspur Park, Old Malden and the streets heading towards Coombe and Worcester Park. That includes the older houses near the station, the High Street and Coombe Road, and the greener, tree-lined pockets along Beverley Brook and the Hogsmill.

Most of what we see in New Malden is 1930s suburbia: semi-detached houses and short terraces with hipped tiled roofs, tile-hung bays and gables, tall chimneys and, very often, a hip-to-gable loft conversion or rear extension added since. Knowing how these houses were put together helps us find leaks quickly and quote accurately.

Our roofers in New Malden handle everything from a single cracked tile or a gutter cleaning visit to a complete re-roof, and as a roofing company we use our own team on every job rather than subcontracting.

New Malden is an easy drive from our West Molesey base, and we can usually inspect within the same week, often sooner. Inspections are free with no call-out fee, and every quote is written, fixed and needs no deposit.

Quite possibly, if it is still on its original tiles. Many New Malden semis were roofed in the 1920s and 30s with clay or concrete tiles on battens with no underlay at all, and after nearly a century the nails and battens are giving up. Tiles slipping in several places, damp patches after heavy rain and repairs that never seem to hold are the usual warning signs.

At that stage, a full re-roof with new battens and a breathable membrane is often better value than paying for repair after repair. Not every old roof needs replacing, though. If the tiles and timbers are sound and the problems are confined to one area, targeted repairs may give you many more years.

We'll inspect the roof, photograph what we find and set out both options honestly, with named materials and suppliers in the quote. Most like-for-like re-roofs in New Malden need no planning permission, and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is the authority to check with if anything visible is changing.

A new roof comes with our 10-year insurance-backed guarantee and aftercare for the lifetime of the roof, and you won't be asked for a deposit before we start.

Yes, and it's one of the most common jobs we do in New Malden. The tile-hung bays on the front of 1930s semis have small roofs of their own, with lead flashings where they meet the main wall. Over the years that lead cracks and lifts, and rain gets into the wall above, usually showing up as damp in the front bedroom.

Because the damp often appears some distance from the cause, we check the whole bay: the flashing, the small roof covering, the tile-hanging above it and the junctions at each side. That way we fix the actual entry point instead of treating the symptom.

The repair is normally to renew the lead flashings and re-tile or re-cover the bay roof, matching the tiles to the rest of the house so it looks right from the street. You'll get photos before and after so you can see the difference for yourself.

It's a modest job compared with the harm persistent damp can do inside, and a good example of roof repairs in New Malden where getting the detail right matters more than the size of the job. Quotes are free and written, with no call-out fee.

Yes. Hip-to-gable loft conversions and rear extensions are everywhere in KT3, and a lot of them were finished with felt flat roofs that are now splitting, blistering or holding water. Dormer cheeks and the joints where a dormer meets the main roof are frequent leak points too.

We strip the old covering, check the deck and replace it with a seamless GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber roof, laid with proper falls so water drains away instead of ponding, and finished with new trims. Where the dormer meets the tiled roof, we renew the flashings and leadwork so the junction stays watertight.

If you're planning new dormer work rather than a straight replacement, bear in mind that some dormer work in New Malden does need permission from the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, so it's worth checking early.

As a roofing company with 600+ roofs fixed and fitted, we pay closest attention to the upstands, edges and outlets, because that's where flat roofs tend to fail first. You'll get photos at each stage, a written quote naming the materials and our workmanship warranty once the job is done.

Usually the same day, where we can. Our emergency service runs 24/7, including nights, weekends and bank holidays, and there's never a call-out fee, so there's no need to wait for office hours if a storm has lifted tiles or water is coming through a ceiling.

The priority is to stop further damage. We make the roof safe with temporary tarping or weatherproofing first, whether the problem is a dislodged hip tile on a 1930s semi, a split felt roof over a rear extension or a leaking dormer, and only then plan the permanent repair.

Once the roof is secure, we'll explain what failed, show you photos and send a written quote, so you can decide calmly rather than in the middle of a downpour. Overflowing gutters can look like a roof leak, so we check those too, and if a blockage was the cause, gutter cleaning may be all you need.

For an urgent problem, phone 07470 744247 and our roofers in New Malden will tell you what to do while we're on the way.

Usually because the mortar holding them has cracked. Most of New Malden's 1930s semis have hipped roofs, which means long runs of hip and ridge tiles bedded in mortar along every edge where two slopes meet. After decades of frost, sun and movement, that mortar shrinks, cracks and falls away, leaving tiles loose enough to rock or slide.

It matters because loose hip and ridge tiles let water in at the most exposed part of the roof, and a tile that comes off in high wind can damage the slope below or anything beneath it. Gaps along the ridge also give wind-driven rain an easy way in.

There are two ways to fix it. We can lift the tiles, clean them and re-bed them in fresh mortar, or fit a dry-fix system that fixes each tile mechanically and takes mortar out of the equation. We'll explain which suits your roof, and match any tiles that are broken.

Roof repairs in New Malden like this are usually quick, and we often spot hip trouble early during routine visits such as gutter cleaning. Inspections and quotes are free, and there's no deposit to pay.
