Edwardian properties dominate — large three-storey bay-fronted houses along Streatham Common North and South. Victorian terraces between Streatham High Road and Tooting Bec Common. 1930s semis towards Norbury. Post-war estates including Leigham Court Estate.
For roof replacement specifically, this housing mix creates distinct demands. Welsh slate on Victorian terraces, clay plain tiles on Edwardian stock, concrete interlocking on 1930s onwards. Many Edwardian properties have original clay tiles now 110+ years old. Complex roof forms with dormers, bay projections and valleys. — and each roof type requires different materials, methods and experience to repair or replace correctly.
Streatham Common creates a wind channel between Norwood and Tooting that drives rain against west-facing slopes with more force than sheltered streets either side. Properties facing the common take measurably harsher exposure than those one street back. For roof replacement work, this means materials and methods must be specified for Streatham's particular conditions — not generic South London assumptions.
Large Edwardian roof forms along Streatham Common create complex valley junctions — valley lead failures are the most common high-value repair. Bay window roof junctions leak where they meet the main wall on three-storey Edwardian houses. Shared chimney stacks on Victorian terraces create repair cost disputes.
Every roof replacement job in Streatham 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.

Victorian terraces between Streatham High Road and Tooting Bec Common. 1930s semis towards Norbury. Post-war estates including Leigham Court Estate.

Streatham Common creates a wind channel between Norwood and Tooting that drives rain against west-facing slopes with more force than sheltered streets either side. Properties facing the common take measurably harsher exposure than those one street back. 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 Streatham roof without the correct specification for local conditions.
