Homes and roofs in Richmond
Richmond's housing includes Georgian houses around Richmond Green and up Richmond Hill, Victorian terraces in the Alberts and the streets off Sheen Road, and Edwardian family houses in North Sheen and Kew. Slate and clay tile roofs, lead details and tall stacks are common, and large parts of the town are conservation areas.
Roofing work most asked for in Richmond
Richmond calls are for slate and clay tile repairs on period houses, like-for-like work in conservation areas, lead renewal, chimney repointing and flat roofs over extensions.
The faults we fix on Richmond roofs
Richmond's period roofs fail at the lead, the ridges and the stacks, while trees around the Green and the Park fill gutters and valleys so water overflows. Flat roofs over extensions wear out at their edges.
What your free survey in Richmond checks
On a Richmond survey we check slate and clay slopes, ridges and hips, the lead at abutments and valleys, the stacks and the flat roofs. Where a house sits in a conservation area, the report lists the matching materials we would use.
Weather and exposure
Richmond Hill rises above the Thames, and the houses there and around Richmond Park face open views and open weather. Riverside and Green-side houses sit among mature trees that fill gutters and valleys each autumn.
Streets and postcodes we cover
We cover Richmond across TW9 and TW10, including Richmond Hill, Richmond Green, the Alberts, North Sheen, Kew and Ham.
