Roofers in Sunbury-on-Thames

Yes. Our roofers in Sunbury-on-Thames work right across TW16: Lower Sunbury and the riverside along Thames Street, Sunbury Common, the roads around Sunbury Cross and Kempton Park, and Upper Halliford. If you're not sure whether your street is included, give us a call, but it almost certainly is.

Roofing in Sunbury is really two different jobs, and we spend plenty of time on both. Down by the river, the period houses of the conservation area need careful, like-for-like work on clay tile, slate and lead, and the heavy tree cover makes regular gutter cleaning worthwhile. Up on the Common, the inter-war and post-war semis, bungalows and terraces bring a steady run of tile, ridge and flat-roof jobs.

We're about ten minutes away from West Molesey via Walton Bridge or Hampton, so getting to Sunbury-on-Thames is rarely a problem, and inspections usually happen in the same week you call, often sooner. Every inspection is free, the written quote names the materials we'll use, and there's no call-out fee and no deposit.

Yes. Lower Sunbury, along the Thames, is a conservation area of Georgian and Victorian houses, walled gardens and old riverside cottages. Most of the roofs are clay tile or natural slate, often with parapets, lead detailing and tall chimney stacks, and they need a different approach from the newer houses elsewhere in Sunbury-on-Thames.

On these houses we repair like for like. That means matching the tiles or slates already on the roof, using reclaimed stock where new material wouldn't blend in, dressing lead by hand and repointing chimneys in a mortar that suits old brickwork. Done properly, a repair keeps the roof weatherproof and is hard to spot from the street.

Spelthorne Borough Council is the planning authority, and we check the conservation-area rules for Lower Sunbury before any work starts. If consent might be needed, for example for a change of material, we'll explain that clearly so you can apply; we don't make applications on anyone's behalf.

As a roofing company that takes period work seriously, we photograph each stage and list the materials and suppliers in your quote, so you know exactly what has gone onto your roof in Sunbury-on-Thames.

Yes, and properly means more than pointing fresh mortar over the old. Homes near Kempton Park and the open reservoir land around Sunbury-on-Thames catch more wind than you'd expect, and once old ridge and verge mortar cracks, the tiles start to rock and eventually lift in a storm.

On an exposed roof we usually recommend replacing the mortar with a mechanically fixed dry ridge and dry verge system. Each ridge tile is clipped and screwed down to a continuous batten, and the verges are capped with interlocking units, so there's nothing left to crack and wash out.

If you'd rather keep a traditional look, or the house sits in the Lower Sunbury conservation area, we can re-bed the ridges in a properly mixed mortar instead, adding mechanical fixings where the tiles allow. Either way, we check the tiles below the ridge, the valleys and the underlay while we're up there.

Our roofers in Sunbury-on-Thames will send you photos of the ridge before and after the work, and both the inspection and the written quote are free, with no call-out fee.

Yes. Plenty of homes in Sunbury-on-Thames, especially the semis and bungalows on Sunbury Common and around Sunbury Cross, have a rear extension, dormer or garage with an old felt flat roof. Once felt starts to crack and blister, patching rarely holds for long.

We strip the old covering back to the deck, replace any boards that have gone soft, and fit either GRP fibreglass or an EPDM rubber membrane. Both are seamless, so there are no lapped joints to open up, and we finish with new trims and the correct falls so water drains into the gutter rather than ponding. If that gutter is packed with leaves, we can include gutter cleaning on the same visit.

Which one suits you depends on the roof. GRP gives a hard, durable finish that works well on smaller extensions and dormer tops, while EPDM goes down as a single sheet and suits larger garage roofs. We'll explain the difference on site and put our recommendation, with the named product, in your written quote.

Old felt flat roofs are one of the usual roof repairs in Sunbury-on-Thames, and every replacement comes with our workmanship warranty and aftercare for the lifetime of the roof.

Fast. We're directly across the Thames in West Molesey, about ten minutes from Sunbury-on-Thames via Walton Bridge or Hampton, so we can usually be with you the same day, and our emergency line runs 24/7, nights, weekends and bank holidays included.

When we arrive, the priority is to stop the water. That could mean tarping a section of roof after a storm has stripped tiles, temporarily sealing a split flat roof on the Common, or clearing a blocked valley that's sending water into a bedroom. Once the house is dry and safe, we look for the underlying cause and photograph it.

The permanent repair is then quoted in writing and booked at a time that suits you, within the same week wherever we can. There's no call-out fee and no deposit, and our photos and notes are there if you need to make an insurance claim.

Often they can be repaired, but not always. Many of the inter-war and post-war semis and bungalows in Sunbury-on-Thames, particularly on Sunbury Common, still have their original tiles and battens, and roofs of that age reach a point where patching stops being good value.

The signs we look for are slipped and cracked tiles, perished underlay, leaking valleys and concrete tiles that have turned porous. If the problems are isolated, a repair is the sensible answer: we replace the broken tiles, re-bed the ridge or renew a valley, and the roof carries on. If the underlay has failed across the whole roof, re-roofing is usually the lasting fix.

We inspect from the loft as well as from outside, show you photos of what we find and tell you plainly which way we'd go. As a roofing company, we'd rather fix what needs fixing than talk up a new roof you don't need.

If a re-roof is the right call, it comes with our 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, and the quote names the tiles, membrane and battens we'd use on your Sunbury-on-Thames home.
