Substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas on Wimbledon Hill — some of the largest residential properties in South London. 1930s semis across South Wimbledon and Raynes Park. The Village conservation area contains some of the finest period housing south of the river.
For roof replacement specifically, this housing mix creates distinct demands. Natural Welsh and Westmoreland slate on Victorian villas, handmade clay tiles on Edwardian and interwar, concrete tiles on suburban 1930s stock. Large roof areas on Wimbledon Hill villas — some exceeding 200m² — make re-roofing a major project. — and each roof type requires different materials, methods and experience to repair or replace correctly.
Wimbledon Common and the hilltop position create the most exposed roofing environment in South London. Properties above 80m elevation face wind speeds 15–20% higher than the valley floor. The common's 460 hectares funnel prevailing southwesterlies directly into the village. For roof replacement work, this means materials and methods must be specified for Wimbledon's particular conditions — not generic South London assumptions.
Large complex roof forms on Wimbledon Hill — multiple gables, turrets, dormers, valleys on a single property — create numerous failure points. Lead valley failures are the highest-value repair calls. Elevated position means severe wind exposure. Tree root subsidence can affect roof alignment.
Every roof replacement job in Wimbledon 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.

This means roof replacement work in Wimbledon must account for the specific roof types, materials and structural conditions found here — not generic assumptions about South London properties.
Wimbledon Common and the hilltop position create the most exposed roofing environment in South London. Properties above 80m elevation face wind speeds 15–20% higher than the valley floor. The common's 460 hectares funnel prevailing southwesterlies directly into the village. 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 Wimbledon roof without the correct specification for local conditions.
