Roofers in Teddington

Yes. We cover the whole of TW11, from the terraces and semis off the High Street, Broad Street and Stanley Road to the larger villas towards Bushy Park, the riverside homes near Teddington Lock and the later infill and flats nearer the station.

Teddington is largely Victorian and Edwardian, so most of the roofs we see are original slate or clay tile, with shared chimney stacks, bay roofs and rear valley or butterfly sections. A great many have also had loft conversions with rear dormers. That mix tells us a lot before we even set up a ladder: where water tends to get in, and which details deserve the closest look.

The town is a short trip from our West Molesey base through Hampton and Hampton Wick. Our roofers in Teddington take on everything from a single slipped slate or a blocked gutter to a complete re-slate, using our own team on every job.

Each visit starts with a free inspection and a clear written quote, with no call-out fee, no deposit to pay and photos of everything we find.

Yes. Rear dormers from loft conversions are among the most common leak sources we find in Teddington. The trouble is nearly always in one of two places: the dormer's own flat roof, often old felt that has split or blistered, or the flashing where the dormer meets the main slate roof, which on some conversions was never detailed properly in the first place.

Water from a dormer leak can run along the timbers and appear some way from where it got in, so we trace it carefully rather than guessing. We check the flat roof, the cheeks, the window surround and every junction with the main roof, and photograph what we find.

The fix is usually to renew the flat roof in seamless GRP or EPDM rubber with proper falls and new trims, and to replace the flashings with properly dressed lead so the dormer and the main roof work together again.

It's one of the more frequent roof repairs in Teddington, and we quote it clearly and in writing, with no deposit. If the slates around the dormer are also tired, we'll tell you honestly whether to tackle them at the same time.

It depends on how many slates have slipped and what state the battens and underlay are in. If the problems are confined to a few slates and the structure beneath is sound, a repair is the sensible choice. If slates are sliding on several slopes, nail sickness has usually set in more widely, and a re-slate will serve you better.

Many Victorian terraces in Teddington are still on their original natural slate, now around a century old, and those roofs are reaching the end of their life. Paying for small repairs over and over can end up costing more than doing the job once.

We'll inspect the roof, show you photos of the slates, battens and underlay, and explain both options plainly. Individual slates can be refixed with proper hooks. A full re-slate means stripping back, fitting new battens and a breathable membrane, and re-covering in natural slate, reusing sound originals where appropriate.

If a re-slate is the right answer, it comes with our 10-year insurance-backed guarantee. As a roofing company, we would always rather give you an honest recommendation than sell you more roof than you need.

Yes. Many Teddington terraces have valley or butterfly sections at the rear, where two slopes drain into a central channel lined with lead or felt. When that lining splits or the outlet blocks, water gets into the rear rooms, and because the leak can surface some distance away, it is easy to misdiagnose.

We strip out the failed valley, check the boards and timbers beneath, and renew it in lead or GRP with the right falls so water runs cleanly to the outlet. The slates either side are re-bedded neatly, and the outlet is cleared so nothing backs up again.

If the valley is shared with the house next door, we can coordinate with your neighbours so the whole run is renewed at once. That's usually better than repairing one half and leaving a weak joint in the middle.

Leaves from Bushy Park and the gardens are a common cause of valley blockages here, so gutter cleaning each autumn is a sensible follow-up. Every valley renewal comes with photos and our workmanship warranty.

Usually the same day, where we can. Teddington is a short trip from West Molesey, and we take emergency calls 24/7, nights, weekends and bank holidays included, with no call-out fee.

The first priority is to make the roof safe. That could mean tarping a slope where slates have blown off, temporarily sealing a split rear valley or weatherproofing a dormer that has started letting water into a loft bedroom. Once the immediate risk is under control, we take photos, explain what has failed and send a written quote for the permanent repair.

Emergencies often follow storms or long spells of heavy rain, when blocked valleys and gutters overflow on older terraces. If water is coming in, move valuables away from the leak and, if it is safe, take a quick photo for us.

Then call 07470 744247, and our roofers in Teddington will talk you through what to do while we're on our way. Sending the photo by message helps us bring the right materials.

Yes. Gutter cleaning is a regular job for us in Teddington, because trees from Bushy Park and the gardens keep gutters busy every autumn. Leaves and moss soon block the downpipes, rear valleys and butterfly sections on the terraces, and homes near Teddington Lock and along Bushy Park tend to need the most attention.

When gutters overflow, water spills down the walls, soaks into the brickwork and can find its way back under the roof edge, so a blockage left for a season can turn into damp inside the house.

We clear the gutters, valleys and outlets, flush the downpipes and remove moss from the roof where it has built up. While we're up there we check for slipped slates, worn flashings and loose ridges, and send you photos of anything that needs attention, so small problems are found early.

Quotes are free and written. Because we're a roofing company that also carries out roof repairs in Teddington, we can put right anything we find on the same visit if you'd like.
