Roofing Greenwich

Greenwich has some of the most demanding roofs in London, and some of the strictest rules about how they are repaired. Get either wrong and the job gets done twice.

Much of SE10 sits inside the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site or one of the conservation areas around West Greenwich and the Ashburnham Triangle, and a good number of properties are listed. That means natural slate rather than a cheap substitute, lead rather than a modern imitation, and detailing that matches what is already on the building. On Georgian and early Victorian stock it also means parapet gutters, hidden valleys and lead-lined box gutters that need renewing properly rather than patching with mastic. Quotes here are written for what the building actually needs, not for the cheapest thing that passes a glance from the pavement.

Before anything is agreed: a free inspection, photographs of the actual defect, and a written itemised quote. If the property is listed or in a conservation area, anything likely to need consent is flagged at the survey, before there is any commitment.

What the service covers in Greenwich: emergency roof repairs and leak tracing, natural slate re-roofing, lead-lined parapet and box gutter renewal, leadwork and flashing, chimney repointing and rebuilds, EPDM and GRP flat roofing to extensions, guttering, fascias and soffits, and planned maintenance for period property across SE10.

Included as standard: full public liability insurance, a guarantee on completed work, waste cleared from site, and scaffold or access arranged as part of the quote.
