Roofing in Greenwich, SE10

Homes and roofs in Greenwich

Greenwich mixes historic streets with Victorian terraces and modern developments. A roofer in Greenwich may be on a slate roof near the park one day and a terrace in East Greenwich the next, with flat-roofed extensions and converted flats in between. One of our Checkatrade reviews is from an emergency roofing job in SE10.

Where we work in Greenwich

We cover Greenwich town centre, West Greenwich, East Greenwich and the streets towards Blackheath, Deptford and Charlton. From our Southwark base, Greenwich is a short trip along the river. For flats and conversions, let us know who manages the building and how the roof is reached.

Common roof problems in Greenwich

The wind off the river and the open ground of the park and heath can be hard on roofs here, lifting ridge tiles and loosening slates. Older terraces suffer from tired chimney flashings and blocked parapet gutters, and flat roofs on extensions and blocks fail at their outlets and upstands. Storm damage calls are common after a windy night.

Ridges and verges in exposed spots

Houses near the park and heath, and those with a clear run of wind from the river, take a battering in winter storms. Ridge and verge tiles held only by old mortar are the first to go. We can rebed them or fit dry ridge and dry verge systems with mechanical fixings, as part of our general roofing work.

Chimneys on older Greenwich streets

Older Greenwich houses carry substantial chimney stacks, and many are no longer in use. A stack that is not maintained lets water into the chimney breast and can become loose. We repoint, renew lead, rebuild damaged courses and cap redundant flues. Find out more about our chimney repairs.

Guttering and flat roofs in Greenwich

Parapet gutters, hoppers and long downpipes on older houses, and flat roofs on extensions and modern blocks, all need clear drainage to stay dry. When an outlet blocks, water backs up quickly and finds its way inside. We clear and repair gutters and downpipes, and repair or replace flat roofs with sound outlets and upstands, so rainwater leaves the roof as it should.

Fascias and soffits on Greenwich homes

Timber fascias and soffits on older Greenwich houses rot where the gutters have overflowed for years. We replace them with new uPVC boards and vented soffits and hang new gutters, as shown on our fascias and soffits page.
