Homes and roofs in Dulwich

Dulwich is family-house country. A roofer in Dulwich works on Victorian and Edwardian terraces across East Dulwich, larger detached and semi-detached houses around Dulwich Village and the roads towards Herne Hill, and plenty of loft conversions, dormers and rear extensions that have grown these homes over the years.

Where we work in Dulwich

We cover Dulwich Village, East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Herne Hill and the streets around Lordship Lane and Goose Green. One of our Checkatrade reviews is from a felt roofing installation in SE21. Our Southwark base keeps us close to every part of Dulwich.

Common roof problems in Dulwich

Loft conversions and dormers are a common source of leaks here: the cheeks, the flat dormer roof and the lead where the dormer meets the main slope all need to be sound. On the older terraces, tired ridge mortar, slipped slates and chimney flashings are frequent faults, and the many trees mean gutters fill quickly in autumn.

Primefix Roofing & Guttering Ltd offers free site surveys and quotes in Dulwich for dormer and flat roof work, slate and tile repairs, guttering and full re-roofs. Our team is fully insured, our workmanship is guaranteed and we give honest advice on whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense.

Dormers and loft conversions

Dulwich has a great many loft conversions, and the dormer is often where leaks begin. The flat dormer roof, the tile-hung or clad cheeks and the lead where the dormer meets the slope all need to stay watertight. We repair each part, and where a dormer roof covering has failed we replace it with a suitable flat roofing system.

Trees, gutters and autumn

The tree-lined roads of Dulwich look wonderful, but leaves and seeds fill gutters and outlets every autumn. Overflowing gutters send water down the walls and into the fascia boards. We clear, repair and replace gutters and downpipes as part of our guttering service, and point out anything on the roof above that needs attention.

Re-roofing family houses in Dulwich

Many Dulwich houses still carry their original slates or early replacement tiles, and the underlay beneath them has long since perished. When repairs are needed on every slope, a full re-roof makes more sense. We strip the covering, check the timbers, fit new membrane and battens and lay new slates or tiles, with fresh lead at the chimneys and dormers. See how we approach new roofs.

Chimney stacks and lead

Dulwich houses often keep their original chimney stacks, with lead soakers and flashings that are now tired. Worn lead lets water run behind the slates and into the loft. We renew flashings, repoint stacks and cap unused flues as part of our chimney repairs.
