Why Roof Repairs Are Common in Richmond
Richmond’s housing, however, gives its roofs a character distinct from the rest of West London. The Georgian and early Victorian terraces in the town centre have Welsh slate roofs fixed with iron nails. They also have lead-lined parapet gutters behind the front parapet walls. After 150 to 200 years, these nails have corroded and snapped, so slates slip out of position. In addition, the gutter lead has oxidised and cracked at the joints. Water then finds its way through the deck into the rooms below.
On Richmond Hill and across TW10, the larger Victorian and Edwardian houses have complex roofs. For example, many have multiple pitches, dormers, valley gutters and chimney stacks. Each junction is therefore a potential failure point. Over time, dormer flashings, ridge mortar and valley linings all wear out.
In Ham, on the other hand, post-war estates have concrete interlocking tiles on hipped roofs, so they share the usual West London tile and mortar problems.
We therefore work across all these property types. Every job receives a free roof inspection and a fixed written quote before any work begins.
What Our Richmond Roof Repairs Include
- Welsh slate replacement — Sourcing and fitting replacement slates to match Georgian and Victorian roofs. Where possible, we also use reclaimed Welsh slate.
- Lead flashing repairs and replacement — Repairing or renewing lead flashings around chimneys, dormers and parapet walls, because many old junctions rely on lead.
- Parapet gutter relining — Replacing worn lead or zinc linings in the hidden gutters behind parapet walls, especially on Georgian terraces.
- Ridge and hip repointing — Removing failed mortar and rebedding ridge and hip tiles. On listed properties, we also use lime mortar where specified.
- Chimney repointing and flaunching — Repointing eroded mortar joints and renewing the flaunching cap on original chimney stacks.
- Valley gutter renewal — Replacing corroded valley gutters, since each valley is a potential leak source.
- Tile repairs on post-war housing — Replacing cracked or slipped concrete tiles, such as on 1950s and 1960s homes in Ham.
- Storm damage and emergency repairs — Securing exposed areas after a storm and then carrying out permanent repairs.
- Conservation-area compliant repairs — Using like-for-like materials and methods, especially within Richmond's conservation areas.

FAQs
Richmond Roof Repair Questions Answered
How much do roof repairs cost in Richmond?
We provide a free inspection and fixed written quote on every job. The price includes materials. For example, natural slate and lead cost more than concrete tiles, and we are open about this. You know the exact price before work starts.
How quickly can you get to TW9 or TW10 for a repair?
Because we are based in West London, we cover all Richmond postcodes. Same-day inspections are usually available. However, emergency leaks are prioritised and we aim to attend within hours.
Can you repair listed buildings in Richmond?
Yes. We carry out roof repairs on Grade II listed and conservation-area properties across Richmond, using like-for-like materials. If listed building consent is needed, we then advise you during the inspection.
What is a parapet gutter and why does it leak?
Parapet gutters are hidden behind the raised parapet wall on Georgian terraces. They collect rainwater and channel it to downpipes. Over 80 to 100 years, the lead lining degrades and cracks at the joints. As a result, water reaches the rooms below and often causes extensive damage before anyone traces the leak.
Is your roof repair work guaranteed?
Yes. Every repair comes with a written guarantee. We also carry full public liability insurance.
