Number 1 Roofing Company In Staines-upon-Thames
Staines-upon-Thames sits where the Colne meets the Thames, and much of the town grew up around the river and the railway in the Victorian era. The streets near the town centre and the station are full of Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, shared valley gutters and chimney stacks, while Knowle Green and the roads out towards Ashford and Laleham add inter-war semis and post-war housing. Laleham itself is a quieter riverside village with Georgian houses and cottages in its conservation area. Above the shops in the town centre there are many flats with flat or low-pitched roofs that are easy to forget about until they leak. Being on the river, Staines roofs also deal with damp, moss, blocked gutters and heavy rain run-off, so regular gutter cleaning pays off. As a local roofing company we cover the whole of TW18, from emergency leak repairs to full re-roofs.

Common Roof Problems We Fix In Staines-upon-Thames
Slate roofs on Victorian terraces
The terraces near the town centre and station have natural slate roofs that are now well over a century old. Nail sickness causes slates to slip, and we re-fix or re-slate as needed.
Shared valley gutters between terraces
Many Staines terraces share lead or felt valley gutters at the back. When these fail, water runs into both houses, so we renew them with lead to the right gauge or a modern GRP lining.
Flat roofs above shops and flats
Flats above shops and town-centre conversions often have ageing felt or asphalt roofs. We repair or replace them with GRP or single-ply membrane and sort out the outlets and drainage.
Hips and ridges on inter-war semis
The 1930s semis around Knowle Green have hipped roofs where the hip and ridge mortar cracks and falls away. We re-bed or fit dry-fix systems to keep them secure.
Riverside damp and gutter overflow
Homes near the Thames, the Colne and Lammas Park see a lot of moss and leaf build-up. Blocked gutters and downpipes overflow into walls, so we clear and repair them before damp sets in.
Roofing in Staines-upon-Thames: terraces, shops and the river.
Staines and Laleham
Staines-upon-Thames has Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre and the river, flats above shops along the High Street, inter-war semis spreading out towards Stanwell and Ashford, and the quieter riverside village of Laleham to the south. Slate, clay and concrete tile roofs are all common.
Flight paths, flat roofs and slate
Staines sits close to Heathrow, and properties under the approach paths can have tiles disturbed by aircraft wake vortices; Heathrow runs its own vortex protection scheme, and we can advise if you think it applies. Beyond that, the usual jobs are slipped slates and valley leaks on Victorian terraces, and flat roofs above shops and extensions.
Reaching TW18
Staines is around twenty minutes from West Molesey. Spelthorne Borough Council is the planning authority, with conservation areas in parts of the town centre and Laleham. We give free written quotes, take no deposit and can usually inspect within a day.

Things people ask about roofing in Staines-upon-Thames.
Can't find what you're looking for? Call us on 07470 744247 — we answer in person, including evenings and weekends.
Yes. We cover all of TW18, from the town centre, the station and the High Street to Knowle Green, the riverside where the Colne meets the Thames, the roads out towards Stanwell and Ashford, and the village of Laleham to the south. Wherever you are in Staines-upon-Thames, we can reach you.
Each part of Staines has its own kind of roof. Near the centre it's mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs and shared valley gutters; above the shops there are flats with flat or low-pitched roofs; Knowle Green adds 1930s semis with hipped roofs; and Laleham has Georgian houses and cottages in its conservation area.
We're around twenty minutes from our West Molesey base and can usually inspect within the same week, often sooner. Our roofers in Staines-upon-Thames take on everything from a few slipped slates and routine gutter cleaning to full re-roofs, and each job starts with a free inspection and an itemised written quote, with no call-out fee and no deposit.
Yes. Many of the Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Staines-upon-Thames share a valley gutter at the back, where two roof slopes meet between neighbouring houses. These were originally lined in lead or felt, and when the lining splits or the outlet blocks, water runs into both homes, often appearing first as a stain on a back bedroom ceiling.
We strip out the failed valley and renew it either in lead of the right gauge, with proper laps and falls, or with a modern GRP lining moulded in one piece. The slates along each side are re-bedded or replaced so that water is carried into the valley rather than under it.
Because the valley is shared, it makes sense to fix it once, properly, for both houses. We're happy to quote you and your neighbour together and explain the work to each of you, so nobody ends up paying for half a repair.
Valley leaks are one of the usual roof repairs in Staines-upon-Thames, and like all our work they come with photos, a written quote and our workmanship warranty.
Yes. Flats above the shops along the High Street, and conversions around the Staines-upon-Thames town centre, often have ageing felt or asphalt roofs that nobody thinks about until water comes through a ceiling. Blocked outlets and poor drainage are usually part of the story.
We repair or replace these roofs with GRP fibreglass or a single-ply membrane, and sort out the outlets, upstands and drainage at the same time so water leaves the roof quickly. Where access from the street is awkward, we plan it carefully to keep disruption to the shop below to a minimum.
We're happy to work with landlords and managing agents who need a reliable roofer in Staines, as well as owner-occupiers, and we provide photos and notes after the job for your records. Quotes are itemised, so it's easy to see what each part of the work involves and why it's needed.
If you look after several properties in Staines-upon-Thames, our roofing company can inspect them together and give you photos and written notes on each roof, so you can plan repairs rather than react to leaks.
Yes. Laleham is a quieter riverside village with Georgian houses and cottages in its conservation area, and parts of the Staines-upon-Thames town centre are conservation areas too. The roofs are mostly clay tile or natural slate, often with lead details and chimney stacks that need a careful hand.
We repair them with matching materials, sourcing reclaimed or new clay tiles and slates that blend with what's already on the roof, and renewing lead in lead rather than swapping in a modern substitute. Chimneys are repointed in a suitable mortar and re-flashed so they stay watertight.
Spelthorne Borough Council is the planning authority for both. If your house is listed or the work might need consent, we'll explain what's likely to be involved before we quote. We don't apply for consent on your behalf, but we'll give you the detail you need to do it.
Every period job is photographed throughout. As roofers in Staines-upon-Thames and Laleham, we want the finished roof to look as though nothing has changed, only drier.
Usually the same day where we can. Staines-upon-Thames is around twenty minutes from our base in West Molesey, and emergencies are covered 24/7, including nights, weekends and bank holidays, with no call-out fee.
The first priority is temporary weatherproofing: tarping a roof where slates have slipped, sealing a split flat roof above a shop, or clearing a blocked valley gutter that's overflowing into the house. Once the water has stopped, we find the real cause and photograph it, along with notes you can pass to your insurer if needed.
Staines sits close to Heathrow, so if tiles have been disturbed on a house under the approach paths, we'll tell you whether it looks like aircraft wake vortex damage. Heathrow runs its own vortex protection scheme, and we can advise if you think it applies.
After the emergency, you'll get a written quote for the permanent roof repair in Staines-upon-Thames, booked at a time that suits you, with no deposit to pay.
For most homes in Staines-upon-Thames, once a year is the minimum, ideally in late autumn after the leaves have come down. Houses near the Thames, the Colne and Lammas Park, or under large trees, often need a second visit in spring, because moss and leaf litter build up faster in the damp riverside air.
Signs that you're overdue include water spilling over the front of the gutter in heavy rain, plants growing along the edge, damp patches on the walls below and downpipes that gurgle or back up. Left alone, overflowing gutters soak the brickwork and can lead to damp inside.
Our gutter cleaning in Staines covers gutters, valleys and downpipes. We clear them by hand, flush them through to make sure they drain, take every bit of waste away, and check the brackets and joints while we're up there. If anything needs repairing, we'll show you photos and quote before doing extra work.
Because we're a roofing company rather than a cleaning firm, gutter cleaning also gives us a chance to spot slipped slates or moss problems on your Staines-upon-Thames roof early.
