Roofers in Rickmansworth, Croxley Green, Moor Park and Chorleywood

Rickmansworth sat at the heart of the Metropolitan line's own Metro-land advertising, and it shows on the roofs. The old town along the High Street has Georgian and Victorian buildings in brick and clay tile, much of it inside a conservation area. Around it, inter-war builders put up semis and detached houses for commuters, with hipped plain tile roofs, tile-hung gables and leaded bays. Moor Park, laid out around the golf course in the 1920s and 30s, is an estate of large detached houses with substantial roofs and chimneys, and is itself a conservation area. Chorleywood has Arts and Crafts houses, including The Orchard, which C.F.A. Voysey designed as his own home. Mill End and Maple Cross bring post-war housing with concrete tiles and flat-roofed extensions.

Big inter-war and Arts and Crafts roofs are slow to fail and expensive to ignore. Clay tiles last a long time, but the nails and pegs holding them do not, and the mortar under ridges and hips weathers out. Tall chimneys lose their pointing and flaunching, and lead valleys and soakers between the many slopes split with age. On Moor Park houses with several dormers, the leak is often metres from where the stain shows. In the old town, Georgian and Victorian roofs need matching materials and care at the parapets and gutters. Flat roofs on garages and extensions across WD3 pond and crack in time. We repair and re-tile, renew leadwork, rebuild chimneys, lay EPDM and GRP and re-roof whole houses.

Thomas comes out, gets up to look and checks the loft so the price is for the real fault, not a guess. You get a fixed written quote that lists what is needed, free and with no pressure. In the town centre, on the Moor Park estate and in the other conservation areas, we match the original materials and talk through permissions with you before booking the work. The family that quotes is the family on the roof, the site is cleared every day and a new re-roof carries a 10 year guarantee. Homeowners, landlords and businesses on the High Street all use us. Ring 07429 820474, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm.
