Tiled Roofing across Surbiton and London SW

Tiled roofing covers clay plain tile, concrete interlocking and natural slate, laid new or repaired. Getting it right is mostly about the details that stop being visible once the roof is finished: the batten gauge, the head lap, how many tiles are mechanically fixed rather than relying on the nib, and how the ridge and hips are secured.

Modern dry ridge and dry verge systems hold far better than everything bedded in mortar, because mortar cracks and lets go while a mechanically fixed ridge does not. Done properly the roof shrugs off wind uplift and driving rain and needs far less attention over its life.

On repairs and extensions we match the existing tile so the new work does not stand out, and we re-bed, re-point or convert to dry systems depending on what the roof actually needs. You get a written price and a tidy site at the end of it.

We work across Surbiton and the KT6 postcodes in London SW, including Mitcham, Wallington, Oval, Anerley and Lower Sydenham. Ring 0208 528 3016 and you will get someone who knows the area.

FAQs

Tiled Roofing in Surbiton: what people ask

Do you cover Surbiton?

Yes. Tiled Roofing across Surbiton and the surrounding KT6 area, including Mitcham, Wallington, Oval, Anerley and Lower Sydenham. The local number is 0208 528 3016, answered 7am to 7pm, seven days a week.

What is a dry ridge system?

The ridge tiles are mechanically fixed with clamps and a ventilated roll rather than bedded in mortar. Mortar cracks with movement and frost and eventually lets ridge tiles go, so dry systems are what current practice uses.

Can you match tiles on an old roof?

Often. Some older clay tiles are still made, and reclaimed stock covers a lot of the rest. Send a photo or keep a spare tile and we will tell you what is realistic.

Slate or concrete tile?

Natural slate lasts longer and is lighter, but it costs more and needs the right pitch. Concrete interlocking is quicker to lay and cheaper. Which suits depends on the pitch, the structure and the look of the street.
