Period Building Roofing in Leatherhead
Homes in Leatherhead
Leatherhead is a Surrey town on the River Mole. Its historic centre has older buildings, with twentieth-century family housing around it, so the age of homes here varies a good deal. If yours is listed, work on it needs listed building consent, and roof work on a listed building or in a conservation area may need consent too, so check before the work is planned and tell Walter what you find. For houses in the streets around the centre, the age of the property and the existing roof covering are sensible things to mention. On this page you can see our own finished work: a period property with weathered traditional tiles and a shaped ridge.
What matters for period building roofing in Leatherhead
If a surveyor or adviser has already looked at your roof, mention it when you get in touch. Together with what you share with Walter about the house, its roof and the job you have in mind, that advice gives the discussion a firmer footing. From there we talk through what your own property needs.
- Have any survey or roof advice to hand when you call.
- Explain the work you have in mind, whether a repair, a new roof or something you are unsure about.
- Say where the concern is and whether it changes in wet weather.
- Mention that the building is a period home if it is.
Questions about period building roofing in Leatherhead
Can you fit a new roof on an older house?
New roofs are part of our work alongside period buildings. Tell Walter about the building and the roof, and mention that it is a period home, so the needs of the property can be discussed with its character in mind.
Something has changed on our roof but we cannot see the cause. Is it worth calling?
Yes. Tell us where the problem seems to be, what you have noticed inside or outside, and when you first spotted it. Repair work and the wider needs of the roof can be talked through together.
Does replacing part of our roof bring in the Building Regulations?
It can. If more than a quarter of a roof's covering is replaced, the work must meet the Building Regulations for insulation. Tell Walter how much of the roof you are thinking about, so this is part of the conversation.
