Local roofers · Fulham & Hammersmith
Roofers in Fulham & Hammersmith.
Between the river at Bishop’s Park and the streets around Brook Green, this borough is packed with tall Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them carrying loft conversions added decades later. Space is tight and roofs are hard to see from the pavement, so small faults can run for a long time. We get to the actual cause and give you a clear written price for putting it right.

Fulham terraces, from Parsons Green to Sands End
The Peterborough Estate and the streets around Parsons Green and Bishop’s Park are known for ornate red-brick terraces, and much of Fulham’s housing dates from the same building boom. Behind those fronts sit slate or tile slopes, rear outriggers and small valleys where two roofs meet. A leak over a back bedroom is frequently one of those hidden gutters or a worn lead detail, not the main slope.
- Rear outrigger slopes and valleys repaired
- Lead renewed where roofs meet party walls
- Slipped slates clipped back in place
- Decorative ridge and finial details kept where sound
Roof repairs in Hammersmith
Hammersmith takes in everything from the stucco of St Peter’s Square to the family terraces of Brackenbury Village and Ravenscourt Park. Conservation areas cover a lot of that ground, so a roof repair here should leave the house looking as it did. Where the original is slate or clay, we match it, and we will flag anything worth raising with the council beforehand.
- Like-for-like repairs on period frontages
- Parapet and valley leaks traced behind the wall
- Chimney stacks repointed in keeping with the house
- Felt and battens renewed in small sections
Mansards and loft conversions
Plenty of homes here have gained a storey in the roof, and every conversion adds junctions the original builders never planned for. Trouble tends to appear where a steep tiled face meets the small flat roof at the top, around windows, and along party walls. Finding which of those is at fault saves you from paying to re-cover something that was never the problem.
- Flat sections above dormers and mansards re-felted
- Flashing checked around windows and cheeks
- Steep tiled faces refixed where tiles have slipped
- Party wall junctions sealed properly with lead

Common questions
Does scaffolding on a Fulham street need a licence?
Scaffolding on the public pavement or road generally needs a licence from the council, and a parking bay may need suspending too. We look at access when we quote, so any of this is raised before you agree to the work.
Why does my mansard leak near the top of the wall?
That is usually where the steep tiled face meets the shallow flat roof above it. The join is exposed, and if the felt or trim has failed there, water can run down inside the steep section and appear lower down.
My terrace has no rear access. Can the back roof still be repaired?
In most cases, yes. Many back slopes can be reached over the main roof or by scaffolding set up to suit the house. We will work out the safest route on our visit and include it in the price.
