Roof repairs, re-roofing and flat roofs on Balham’s Victorian and Edwardian homes.
We carry out roofing for homeowners across Balham and SW12, from a slipped slate or a leak to a full re-roof. A lot of Balham’s roofs are original Victorian and Edwardian slate, which need repairing and re-covering with care. We also fit flat roofs on extensions and outriggers.
Roof problems on Balham houses usually start with slipped or broken slates, failed flashing around a chimney, or a tired flat roof over a rear addition. Left alone, they let water in and cause damage below, so a prompt repair is usually the cheaper option.
We repair and re-cover pitched roofs, fit flat roofs on extensions and outriggers, sort out chimney and lead flashing, and replace guttering and fascias. We will tell you honestly whether a repair or a re-roof is the sensible choice.

From a single repair to a full re-roof.
Most Balham terraces have pitched slate roofs with a flat-roofed rear outrigger. The slate roofs can often be repaired rather than replaced, while the flat sections tend to need re-covering over time. In conservation areas we match materials to what is required, and we check the position before any visible change.
We inspect the roof, find the problem and send a written quote.
