Full re-roofs with quality materials and a 10-year workmanship guarantee. Serving Lewisham (SE13, SE6, SE4, SE8) and surrounding areas with free quotes and a 10-year guarantee.
Victorian terraces throughout — particularly dense in Brockley, Catford and along Lewisham High Street. Edwardian properties in Honor Oak Park and Forest Hill. Major post-war estates including the Pepys Estate. 1930s semis in Hither Green and Downham. Modern developments around Lewisham Gateway.
For roof replacement specifically, this housing mix creates distinct demands. Welsh slate on Victorian stock, clay tiles on Edwardian, concrete tiles on 1930s and post-war estates, flat bituminous roofs on post-war blocks. One of South London's heaviest slate-roofed boroughs. — and each roof type requires different materials, methods and experience to repair or replace correctly.
The Ravensbourne river valley from Bromley through Catford to Deptford Creek creates a humidity corridor. Properties in the valley bottom around Ladywell and Catford Bridge experience notably damper conditions than higher ground at Brockley and Honor Oak. For roof replacement work, this means materials and methods must be specified for Lewisham's particular conditions — not generic South London assumptions.
Slate nail sickness across Brockley and Catford Victorian stock is the dominant repair call — original iron nails now 120–140 years old failing across entire streets. Box gutter failures on butterfly-roofed terraces in Deptford and New Cross cause concealed leaks. Flat roofs on rear extensions are a constant repair source.
Every roof replacement job in Lewisham starts with a proper inspection — from the roof, not the pavement. We photograph the issue, explain the cause, and give you a written quote with no hidden costs. Most minor work is completed same-day. Larger projects are scheduled within days and we keep you updated throughout.
Day one: scaffold goes up and we strip the existing covering — every tile or slate removed, old felt stripped, battens pulled. This exposes the timber structure for full inspection. Any rotten rafters, purlins or wall plates are replaced with treated timber to current building regulations. Day two onwards: new breathable roofing membrane is laid, new treated battens fixed at correct gauge for your tile or slate, and the new covering installed row by row from eaves to ridge. Lead valleys, flashings and soakers are formed and dressed as the work progresses. Finally, the ridge system is installed — we recommend dry-fix mechanical ridges over mortar bedding for longevity — and all abutments are sealed. Scaffold comes down when we are satisfied the roof is completely watertight.
The correct material depends on your property type, any conservation restrictions, your budget and your priorities. Natural Welsh slate is the premium choice — beautiful, long-lasting (100+ years), lightweight — but expensive at £80–120/m². Spanish slate offers 80% of the performance at 50% of the cost. Clay plain tiles suit Edwardian and interwar properties and last 60–80 years. Concrete interlocking tiles are the most cost-effective option for 1930s and later properties at £25–40/m² but have a shorter 30–50 year lifespan. We bring samples to the survey so you can see and compare before deciding.
Our written guarantee covers all workmanship for 10 years from completion. If any tile or slate lifts, any flashing fails, any ridge loosens, or any leak develops due to our installation, we return and fix it at no charge. The guarantee is transferable if you sell the property — an asset that adds value at sale. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties on top, typically 30+ years for quality tiles and slates.

The Ravensbourne river valley from Bromley through Catford to Deptford Creek creates a humidity corridor. Properties in the valley bottom around Ladywell and Catford Bridge experience notably damper conditions than higher ground at Brockley and Honor Oak. These conditions directly affect how we specify materials and methods for roof replacement work. A repair that holds in sheltered Camberwell may not survive the same winter on an exposed Lewisham roof without the correct specification for local conditions.
