Three steps. No surprises.
Most roofers vanish between the quote and the invoice. We don't. Here's exactly how a job goes from your call to a finished roof.
Free survey & inspection
We come out, climb up, and look at your roof properly — no obligation, no hard sell, no call-out fee. You get a plain-English assessment of what we found and what (if anything) needs doing.
Itemised written quote
A written quote with materials, labour, scaffolding and timeline broken out line by line. We name our materials and our suppliers — no mystery line items, and no deposit required.
The job, properly done
The same lead tradesman from quote to handover. Site cleaned daily, neighbours considered, and a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee handed over once you're happy.
Roof issues in Balham.
Victorian slate deterioration
Original Welsh slate on terraced houses develops nail sickness after 100+ years, causing slates to slip and expose the felt beneath.
Flat roof failures on extensions
Many Balham properties have rear kitchen extensions with ageing felt flat roofs that blister and crack, leading to persistent leaks.
Chimney mortar erosion
The shared party-wall chimneys on terraced streets are exposed on all sides, accelerating mortar decay and causing damp on internal walls.
Gutter blockages from mature trees
Balham's tree-lined avenues shed heavy leaf fall each autumn, blocking gutters and downpipes and causing overflow damage to fascias.
Trade is full of uncertainty. We remove it.
"South West London's period roofs demand specialist knowledge — from Victorian slate to lead valleys and heritage chimneys. We've built our team around getting it right first time, every time."
10-year insurance-backed warranty
Independently underwritten — covers materials and workmanship even if we cease trading.
No deposit. Ever.
You pay on completion, against a finished job you've signed off. Not before.
