Surbiton's local roofing specialists.

Known as the “Queen of the Suburbs”, Surbiton is defined by its imposing Victorian and Edwardian villas — large double-fronted houses with steep slate roofs, tall chimney stacks and deep valley gutters between paired properties. The streets radiating from Surbiton's landmark 1930s Art Deco station, around St Andrew's Square, St Mark's Hill, Maple Road and Claremont Road, carry some of the biggest period roofs in the borough. Down towards the river at Seething Wells and along the towpath there are riverside homes, while Berrylands and Tolworth add solid inter-war and post-war semis. The mature planes and limes that line Surbiton's avenues keep north-facing slopes damp, so moss build-up, blocked valleys and slipped slates are recurring problems, and the century-old slate roofs are now well into the age where nail sickness sets in. We're just a short hop over Hampton Court Bridge, so we know this housing intimately — the way the big villa roofs are built, where they leak, and how to repair them sympathetically — and we can be on a Surbiton roof quickly.

Roof issues in Surbiton.

Large Victorian slate roofs

Surbiton's grand double-fronted villas were roofed in natural Welsh slate. After a century or more the fixing nails corrode (“nail sickness”) and slates slip in numbers — one of the most common causes of leaks on these big period roofs.

Valley gutters between paired villas

The characteristic semi-detached villas around Maple Road and Claremont Road share intricate lead valley gutters. These pond and leak where the lead and mortar have failed, often letting water into the roof space unnoticed.

Tall chimney stacks and flashings

The high brick stacks on Surbiton's Victorian houses carry eroded mortar joints and lifted lead flashings. These are frequent water-entry points that need re-bedding and re-pointing to keep the roof watertight.

Moss on shaded, tree-lined streets

The mature avenues around Surbiton keep north-facing slopes damp and shaded. Moss builds up, holds moisture against the slates and blocks gutters and valleys if it isn't cleared regularly.

Riverside damp near Seething Wells

Homes towards the river and Seething Wells sit in a humid micro-climate. Damp, algae and blocked drainage take hold more quickly here, accelerating wear on tiles, battens and flashings.
