New Roofs and Re-Roofing in Battersea
Battersea’s housing runs from the Victorian terraces between Clapham and Wandsworth Commons to mansion blocks near the park and new apartment buildings around the old power station. Slate roofs on terraced houses, rear dormers from loft conversions and flat roofs over kitchen extensions make up much of our work in SW11.
We have the experience to re-roof all types of property, from traditional tiled and slate roofs to flat roofs. Catching deterioration early is important, as problems left untreated often end in a full roof replacement.
Sometimes a patch repair is not the best option in the long run, and a new roof can save money over the longer term. We talk you through efficient, up-to-date materials and methods so the new roof is a worthwhile investment in your property.
We will come out, inspect the roof and give you pricing for each option, with costs depending on the size of the property and the area of roof. For a free quote on a new roof in Battersea, call 07467 757 367.
Local New Roofs Specialists in Battersea
Many of Battersea’s terraced houses still have their original Victorian slate roofs, and a lot of them are now tired. Slates flake or slip, nails rust through and battens weaken, until patching one area simply moves the leak somewhere else.
We carry out complete re-roofing of pitched and flat roofs, and we will advise you honestly when a repair is no longer economical. Each new roof begins with a site visit and a quote, because the price depends on the size and type of roof. It is also a good moment to consider more efficient options, such as better insulation, particularly where the loft has been converted into a bedroom. If your street falls in a conservation area, check with Wandsworth Council before changing roof materials. We also re-roof homes in Clapham and Fulham.
At around 15 miles from our Staines office, Battersea sits within our core area across South West London. Like-for-like roof work does not usually need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with Wandsworth Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

New Roofs in Battersea: Your Questions Answered
Is it worth re-roofing my Battersea terrace instead of patching it?
When slates are failing across several slopes, nail sickness has set in or leaks keep returning after repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We look over the whole roof and tell you plainly which route we would take if it were our own home.
Can you re-roof flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?
Yes. We re-roof all types, from traditional tiled and slate roofs to flat roofs in GRP, felt or EPDM.
How do I know if I need a new roof?
Repeated leaks, many slipped or broken tiles, sagging, daylight through the roof and failed felt or battens are all signs. If repairs keep adding up, a new roof is often better value.
Is it better to repair or replace my roof?
If the problem is isolated, a repair is usually fine. When the roof is failing in several places, re-roofing can be cheaper over the longer term. We will give you an honest view.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission, but listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to the roof shape or materials may need consent from your council.
Will you help me choose materials?
Yes. We advise on efficient options and up-to-date materials so the new roof suits your property and budget.
