Home › Re-Roofs Putney
Full strip-and-re-roof service in Putney: new battens, breathable membrane, slates or tiles, leadwork and ridge — done once, done properly, by a team with 20 years on London roofs.
Most of the roofs we replace in Putney are original — laid when the house was built and quietly failing after a century of London weather. Nail fatigue, delaminating slates and crumbling torching can’t be patched forever. A full re-roof strips the covering back to the rafters and rebuilds it with modern materials that keep the street’s character while performing to today’s standards.
Every re-roof includes new treated battens, a breathable membrane, your choice of natural slate, reclaimed slate or clay/concrete tile, plus new leadwork to chimneys and valleys and mechanically fixed ridge and verge. We manage scaffolding, skips and any parking permissions, and we leave the site clean every evening — something your neighbours in Putney will appreciate.
You’ll get a detailed written specification and fixed price before we start, and photographic progress updates while we’re on the roof.
Putney’s riverside exposure and hilltop streets around West Putney give roofs a hard life — wind-lifted tiles and worn flashings are common calls. We cover all of SW15 with rapid repairs and full re-roofing.
A typical terraced house in Putney takes one to two weeks including scaffolding. Larger or more complex roofs — mansards, butterfly roofs, multiple valleys — can take longer, and we’ll give you an honest programme up front.
Yes. On period streets we default to like-for-like: reclaimed or new natural slate, matching clay tiles, and traditional lead detailing. In conservation areas we’ll advise on any constraints before work starts.
No — the house stays weathertight throughout. We strip and felt in sections so the roof is never left open overnight.
