Roofers in Wembley and across Brent, from Kingsbury to Kensal Rise

Brent splits roughly in two. The southern half, Kilburn, Queens Park, Kensal Rise, Willesden and Harlesden, is Victorian and Edwardian London: long terraces under Welsh slate, two-storey rear outriggers with their own small roofs, and chimney stacks running down every party wall. Queens Park and Mapesbury are conservation areas. Further north, Wembley, Preston, Sudbury and Kingsbury were built up between the wars with semis and short terraces under hipped plain tile roofs, and Barn Hill in Wembley Park is a protected estate from that period. Along the high roads in Wembley Central, Harlesden and Kilburn, shops have flats above them and flat roofs behind them, and many houses across the borough have been converted into flats.

The slate terraces leak in predictable places. The valleys and back gutters between neighbouring outriggers silt up and split, slates slip as their nails corrode, and old lead at the stacks cracks and lifts. Water comes through in a back bedroom long before anyone spots the cause from the street. The plain tile roofs in Kingsbury and Preston are reaching the end of their original felt, their ridges and hips need rebedding, and a lot of them are being replaced outright. Flats above shops bring flat roofs that have been patched for years and need stripping back to the deck. We carry out slate and tile repairs, lead valleys and flashings, chimney rebuilds and removals, EPDM and GRP flat roofs and full re-roofs.

Converted houses mean shared roofs, so tell us whether you own the whole building or one flat. Thomas looks at the roof from outside and in, explains what is wrong and which flats it affects, and gives you a fixed written price you can pass to the freeholder or your neighbours. Landlords, leaseholders and shop owners get the same service as homeowners. Scaffold on tight Brent streets is planned around parking and pavements before the job starts, and in the conservation areas we match the original slate and detailing. The family that quotes the job does the job and clears up every day. New re-roofs carry a 10 year guarantee. Call 07429 820474, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm.
