Homes and roofs in Clapham
Clapham has Georgian houses around the Old Town and along the edges of the Common, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces filling the streets between Clapham and Wandsworth commons. Slate roofs, parapet gutters on the older houses, rear dormers and kitchen extensions are typical.
Roofing work most asked for in Clapham
Clapham calls run from Georgian houses in the Old Town to Victorian terraces between the commons: slate repairs and re-roofs, lead at dormers, chimneys and valleys, stack repointing and flat roofs over rear extensions.
The faults we fix on Clapham roofs
Clapham roofs leak at dormer lead, at the valleys and parapet gutters of older houses, at stacks with failed flaunching, and at the edges of flat roofs on rear extensions.
What your free survey in Clapham checks
A Clapham survey covers the slate slopes, the lead at dormers, chimneys and valleys, the stacks and the flat roofs over rear extensions. On Georgian houses we also check the parapet gutters hidden behind the front wall.
Weather and exposure
Clapham Common is a large open space, and houses facing it take the wind across the grass. The plane trees around the common and along the side streets drop leaves into gutters each autumn.
Streets and postcodes we cover
We cover Clapham across SW4 and SW11, including Clapham Old Town, Clapham Common North and South Side, Abbeville Village and the streets around Northcote Road.
Access and planning
Georgian houses in the Old Town and many streets around the common sit in conservation areas, so repairs match the original materials.
