Roofers in Uxbridge and Ruislip, across the Hillingdon suburbs

Ruislip is Metroland at its purest. Once the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines arrived, Ruislip Manor, South Ruislip and Eastcote filled with semis, short terraces and bungalows, nearly all with hipped roofs in plain tiles, tile-hung bays and modest chimney stacks. The old village around St Martin's Church and the High Street keeps its timber-framed and brick buildings and is a conservation area, as is Eastcote village. Ickenham mixes inter-war houses with larger detached homes on private roads. Uxbridge itself is an old market town, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the centre, and Hillingdon and Cowley were built up from the 1920s onwards. Harefield, at the north edge of the borough, still has a village feel and cottage roofs.

Inter-war roofs across Hillingdon are reaching the point where repairs stop being good value. Plain tiles flake and lose their nibs, the mortar on hips and ridges cracks and drops into the gutter, and the old felt under the tiles has rotted at the eaves. Bungalows add valleys, roof windows and dormers to the list of places water gets in. The garages and kitchen extensions behind the houses have flat roofs, often old felt that has been patched more than once. On the Uxbridge terraces we see slipped slates, worn lead at chimneys and blocked gutters at the back. We repair tiles and slates, rebed or dry fix ridges and hips, renew lead, rebuild chimneys, lay EPDM and GRP flat roofs and re-roof houses and bungalows.

Thomas comes to your house, gets up to the roof, checks the loft and tells you plainly whether a repair will last or whether the roof needs replacing, with the reasons. You get a fixed written price either way, free and with no pressure. On semis where next door has already re-roofed, we detail the party wall junction properly and match the tile as closely as we can. In Ruislip and Eastcote villages we keep to the original materials and talk through consent first. The family who quote the work carry it out, clear up daily and hand over a 10 year guarantee on new re-roofs. Homeowners, landlords and small businesses all use us.
