Are roofing quotes in Forest Hill free?

Leaks and storm damage go to the top of the list. We aim to reach SE23 and SE26 properties the same day or the next to make the roof safe.

Forest Hill, Honor Oak, Honor Oak Park, Perry Vale, Sydenham, Catford, Crofton Park and the surrounding London Borough of Lewisham.

Yes – repairs, re-roofs, flat roofing and chimney work all carry our guarantee.

Slates out of line, brown marks on top-floor ceilings, damp beside a chimney breast, dipping slopes and daylight in the loft. Our roof repair page goes through the signs.

Frequently, yes. Dealing with split valley lead or a few loose slates early can add years to a slate roof and save a much larger bill later.

Slate, tile, lead-detailed, valley and flat roofs – on terraces, flats, dormer conversions, garages and commercial premises.

Annual repairs, widespread nail sickness or porous slates, dips in the slope, or no underlay at all all point towards re-roofing.

Three days to a week on a typical Forest Hill terrace, depending on the roof area, scaffolding, access and weather.

Natural and fibre cement slate, clay and concrete tile, and flat roof systems where the design calls for them.

20 to 30 years with the right system. EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass generally go furthest – details on our flat roofs page.

Usually. Splits, blisters and failed joints can be sealed or patched, unless the deck underneath is already saturated.

Felt is the cheapest, GRP is seamless and rigid, EPDM is flexible with barely any joints. The roof decides, not a product we would rather sell.

Yes – repointing, rebuilding, new lead flashings and back gutters, or taking a stack down completely and making the roof good.
