Homes and roofs in Beckenham

Beckenham has a strong mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses and interwar semis, and a roofer in Beckenham needs to know both. Larger older houses carry slate roofs, chimney stacks and decorative ridges, while the roads around Eden Park and Elmers End are full of hipped tiled roofs, bays and extensions.

Common roof problems in Beckenham

On the older houses, chimney flashings, valleys and slipped slates are the usual faults. Interwar roofs develop cracked and porous tiles and loose hip and ridge mortar. Tall trees along many Beckenham roads fill gutters quickly, and overflowing gutters soon lead to damp walls and rotten fascia boards.

Older slate roofs in Beckenham

The larger Victorian and Edwardian houses in Beckenham often still have their original slates. They can last a long time, but nails corrode and slates slip, and valleys and chimney lead wear out. Our roof repairs put these faults right with matched slates and new lead where needed.

Keeping gutters clear under the trees

Mature trees line many Beckenham roads, and gutters and outlets fill up fast. A blocked gutter overflows onto the walls and rots the fascia behind it. We clear, repair and replace gutters and downpipes as part of our guttering service, and replace damaged fascias at the same time.

New roofs on Beckenham houses

When repairs are needed on every slope of a Beckenham roof, a re-roof gives the house a fresh start. We strip the old covering, check the timbers, fit new breathable membrane and battens and lay new slates or tiles, with new ridges, hips and lead at the chimneys and bays. Your quote sets out every stage clearly, along with any work to fascias, soffits and gutters while the scaffold is up. Our new roof page explains the process in full.

Bays, porches and dormers

Beckenham's interwar houses have tiled bay roofs and porch canopies, and many have dormers added in loft conversions. These smaller roofs leak at the lead where they meet the wall or the main slope. We rebuild the lead details, replace cracked tiles and renew flat dormer coverings, so the small roofs are as sound as the main one. Tell us which part is leaking and we will look at the junction first.
