Homes and roofs in Wandsworth
Wandsworth is known for its Victorian terraces, including the parallel streets of the Toast Rack near Wandsworth Common, Edwardian houses on the Tonsleys and inter-war houses towards Southfields. Slate and tile roofs, shared valleys, back additions and loft conversions are found on almost every street.
Roofing work most asked for in Wandsworth
Wandsworth calls are mostly for terrace re-slating, valley repairs between houses, flat roofs over rear additions, dry ridge and dry verge fitting, and lead replacement at chimneys and dormers.
The faults we fix on Wandsworth roofs
In Wandsworth we find slipped slates on rear slopes, blocked shared valleys, worn flat roofs on rear additions and lifted lead at chimneys and dormers.
What your free survey in Wandsworth checks
In Wandsworth we check the slate slopes, the valleys shared with the next house, the flat roof over the rear addition, the stacks and the verges and ridges, then set out what needs doing now and what can wait.
Weather and exposure
Wandsworth Common and the River Wandle bring trees and open ground right up to the terraces, so leaves block gutters and valleys in autumn, and roofs facing the common take the wind.
Streets and postcodes we cover
We cover Wandsworth across SW18, including the Toast Rack, the Tonsleys, Southfields, Earlsfield and the streets around Wandsworth Common and the town centre.
Access and planning
Terraced streets mean front scaffold or access over back gardens, and we plan it with you and your neighbours before work begins.
