Local roofers · Wandsworth
Roofers in Wandsworth, Battersea & Putney.
One borough, three quite different sets of roofs. Battersea is dominated by terraces running out from Clapham Junction, Wandsworth and Southfields by long Edwardian streets, and Putney by larger houses climbing the hill towards the Heath. Tell us what you have noticed, and we will find out what is going on and put a clear price on fixing it.

Roof repairs in Battersea
Streets between Clapham Junction and the two commons were built up quickly in the Victorian period, and many of those houses have since become flats. The Shaftesbury Park Estate adds its own character, with small cottage-style terraces in a protected area. Back additions cause the most calls of this kind: a narrow slope, a valley against next door, and a gutter that collects whatever the upper roof sheds.
- Valleys and back gutters between terraces cleared and repaired
- Slipped slates refixed over rear additions
- Original details respected on the Shaftesbury Park Estate
- Photos for co-owners when a roof serves several flats
Roofers in Wandsworth, Southfields and Earlsfield
The Southfields Grid and the terraces around Earlsfield are mostly Edwardian, with gabled fronts, bays and shared stacks. Many roofs here were re-covered in concrete tile at some point, sometimes on timbers meant for lighter slate, which can show up as a slight sag. Whether that matters depends on the timbers and the tile, so we check before suggesting anything drastic.
- Timbers looked at in the loft where a slope has dipped
- Bay and porch roofs repaired on their own
- Mortar ridges re-bedded or swapped for dry fixings

Putney: larger houses on higher ground
Roofers in Putney deal with bigger, busier roofs than most of the borough, especially towards Putney Hill and the Heath. More hips and dormers mean more junctions, and an elevated position lets wind get under anything loose. A roof repair in Putney is often a case of re-securing one exposed section, while keeping sound slate or clay exactly where it is.
- Hip and ridge lines checked after high winds
- Dormer flashing and cheeks repaired
- Felt flat roofs on rear extensions repaired or renewed
- Clay and slate matched where a repair will show

Common questions
Do you also work in Earlsfield, Southfields and Tooting?
Yes. All of these sit within or beside the borough, so they are covered along with Balham and Roehampton. Call us if you are unsure about your street.
Why does rain get in above my bay window?
A bay has its own little roof and a junction against the main wall. Worn flashing there, or tired felt on top, is the likely cause, and the damp usually shows up at the top of the window or in the corners of the room.
Does a re-roof on my terrace have to match next door?
Outside a conservation area you normally have some freedom, though a close match tends to look better along a terrace. In a protected area, such as the Shaftesbury Park Estate, speak to Wandsworth Council first and expect like for like to be the safest route.
