Roofers in Twickenham

Yes. We cover the whole of Twickenham across TW1 and TW2, including St Margarets, Strawberry Hill, Whitton, the streets near the stadium and the riverside around York House, Marble Hill, Orleans House, Radnor Gardens and Eel Pie Island.

The roofs here are as varied as the town. The conservation streets of St Margarets and central Twickenham are lined with Edwardian and Victorian terraces, Strawberry Hill has its own distinctive period stock around Horace Walpole's Gothic villa, the riverside holds older and larger homes, and Whitton adds waves of 1930s semis. Slate, clay and concrete tiles all appear, along with plenty of loft conversions and dormers.

Our roofers in Twickenham handle the full range, from valley and chimney repairs to flat roofs, re-roofs and gutter cleaning, with our own team on every job and no subcontracting.

We're a short drive away over Hampton Court Bridge, so we can usually inspect within the same week, often sooner. Inspections are free, quotes are fixed and in writing, and there's no call-out fee or deposit.

Yes. Edwardian terraces and 1930s semis make up much of our work in Twickenham, and as a local roofing company we know how both are built and where they tend to fail. Many still carry their original clay-tile or natural-slate roofs, and after decades of service, nail sickness, slipped tiles and cracked ridge tiles are a leading cause of leaks.

On the Edwardian houses of St Margarets and Strawberry Hill, decorative ridge tiles and finials are worth saving. We lift, clean and re-bed them carefully rather than swapping them for plain modern ridges, and where one is beyond repair, we take care to match it. Shared valleys and chimney stacks get the same attention to detail.

The inter-war semis of Whitton and the streets near the stadium often have flat-roofed extensions and bays alongside their main tiled roofs, so a typical visit there might cover re-tiling, ridge work and a new flat roof in one go.

Whatever the house, you'll see photos of the problem before we quote. Roof repairs in Twickenham carry our workmanship warranty, and new roofs come with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee.

Absolutely. Failed lead valleys between terraced houses are one of the most frequent sources of leaks in St Margarets and central Twickenham. Because the valley sits between two roofs, water that gets past split lead or crumbling mortar can run into the roof space of either house, where it often goes unnoticed until a ceiling stains.

Blockages make matters worse. With mature trees and the humid setting beside the Thames and the River Crane, valleys collect leaves and moss, water ponds against the lead and finds any weakness. Gutter cleaning that includes the valleys, not just the eaves gutters, is a sensible habit on these streets, particularly for low-lying homes near Radnor Gardens.

When a valley has failed, we strip it out and renew the lead to the correct gauge with proper falls, re-bed the slates or tiles either side and make sure the outlet drains freely, so the valley sheds water reliably again.

You'll get photos before and after, plus a clear written quote. There's no call-out fee for the inspection and no deposit to pay.

Yes. Whitton's inter-war semis and many homes across Twickenham have flat-roofed extensions and bays finished in felt, and those coverings are now blistering and leaking at the joints. Ponding water, cracked edges and damp patches on the extension ceiling are the usual signs.

Rather than patching tired felt again and again, we strip the old covering, check the deck and timbers, and replace it with seamless GRP fibreglass or a single-ply membrane such as EPDM rubber. Proper falls are built in so rain runs to the gutter, and new trims and upstand details seal the edges.

Bay roofs on 1930s houses get the same treatment on a smaller scale, with the lead flashings renewed where the bay meets the wall. Dormers added during loft conversions are another regular job, so if yours is leaking as well, we can look at both on the same visit.

Flat roofs are routine work for us as a roofing company, and each one comes with photos at every stage, a written quote that names the materials and our workmanship warranty.

Usually the same day, where we can. We're a short drive along the Thames from Twickenham, and our emergency line runs 24/7, nights, weekends and bank holidays included. There's no call-out fee.

When you ring, we'll ask what's happening and where the water is getting in. On arrival we make the roof safe first with temporary tarping or weatherproofing, whether that means covering a slope where tiles have blown off a Whitton semi, sealing a failed valley on a St Margarets terrace or protecting a riverside home after a storm.

Once the immediate risk is dealt with, we photograph the damage, explain what has failed and send a written quote for the permanent repair, with no obligation to book it there and then.

If water is coming in now, ring 07470 744247 and our roofers in Twickenham will advise you on keeping things safe until we arrive, including where to put buckets and which rooms to keep clear.

Yes. Chimney stacks shared between neighbours are one of the most common sources of leaks we find in Twickenham, on the terraces of St Margarets and central Twickenham as much as the semis of Whitton. The tall brick stacks lose mortar from their joints and the lead flashings at the base lift, giving rain an easy route into the roof space and down the chimney breast.

Because a shared stack straddles the party wall, the repair usually affects both houses. We inspect the whole stack, photograph it and explain which parts need attention, then quote for repointing, re-flashing in new lead, capping a flue that's no longer used or, where a stack is redundant or unsafe, rebuilding or removal.

It's worth agreeing the work with your neighbour first. Our photos and written quote make that conversation easier, and doing the whole stack at once avoids a weak joint where one half has been repaired and the other hasn't.

Chimney work is part of everyday roof repairs in Twickenham for us, and every job carries our workmanship warranty, with a free inspection and no deposit.
