Homes and roofs in Putney
Putney's housing climbs from Victorian terraces near the river and the High Street to large detached Victorian and Edwardian houses on West Hill and around Putney Heath, with mansion blocks along the main roads. Roofs are slate and clay tile, many with tall stacks, dormers and back extensions.
Roofing work most asked for in Putney
Putney homeowners call us for slate and clay tile re-roofs, chimney repointing on tall stacks, lead at dormers and valleys, and flat roofs over kitchen extensions.
The faults we fix on Putney roofs
Putney's larger houses suffer at height: tall stacks lose pointing, lead at dormers and valleys splits, and slipped slates on high slopes go unseen until a ceiling stains. Riverside terraces lose verge and ridge mortar to the wind.
What your free survey in Putney checks
Putney surveys cover the slate and clay slopes, the tall stacks, the dormer and valley lead and the flat roofs over kitchen extensions. On the larger houses near the Heath the drone shows slopes that cannot be seen from the garden.
Weather and exposure
Putney rises from the river up to Putney Heath, and the larger houses on West Hill and near the Heath stand on higher, more exposed ground. Riverside terraces off the Lower Richmond Road take the wind along the Thames.
Streets and postcodes we cover
We cover Putney across SW15, including the riverside streets, West Hill, Putney Heath, East Putney, Westleigh and the roads towards Roehampton.
Access and planning
Larger Putney houses have tall roofs and long slopes, so we often start with a free drone survey before planning scaffold.
