Roofer in Woking

A dry ceiling, a tidy ridge line and gutters that carry water away instead of down the wall: that's what you're left with when a roof is done once and done properly.

Scott has spent more than 36 years on Surrey roofs and still answers the phone himself, and the same standards apply to new roofs, reroofs and roof repairs in Woking.

Roof Repairs for Leaks and Storm Damage

A leak stops, the ceiling dries out, and the stain stops creeping across the plaster. That's the outcome we're after on every repair, and it's why we look at the whole roof rather than the one wet spot. Slipped tiles, cracked tiles, failed flashing at an abutment, a blocked valley: they all show up inside as the same damp patch.

Woking has a wide mix of roofs. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces off Maybury Road need different handling from the 1930s semis around Horsell, and the newer estates near Goldsworth Park bring shallow pitches and dry ridge systems. We fix to BS 5534 for fixing and wind uplift, because a tile that isn't mechanically fixed properly will lift again in the next gale off the common.

What a repair from us includes:

• A proper look at the whole roof, not a glance at the leak
• Matched tiles or slates where we can source them locally
• Flashing renewed in lead to Lead Sheet Association guidance, not sealed with mastic and left
• Fixings and battens checked while we're up there
• The 25-year written workmanship guarantee handed over before we go

We don't hard sell roof coatings, and we don't turn a repair into a re-roof to make the job bigger. If a morning's work will hold for years, we'll tell you that.

Flat Roofing and Pitched Roofing for Woking Homes

Flat roofs here are usually extensions, garages and dormers, and they fail in predictable places: laps, upstands and outlets. We lay EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, and torch-on or built-up felt, and we work to BS 6229 on falls, drainage and detailing. Ventilation matters just as much, so we follow BS 5250 to keep condensation out of the structure rather than trapping it in.

Where a flat roof is being renewed, we'll talk about a warm-roof build-up. It puts the insulation above the deck, which keeps the deck warmer and dryer. Under Approved Document L, a re-roof that renews more than half of the roof's area brings the whole roof's insulation into scope, and we raise that at quote stage rather than after the scaffold is up.

On pitched work we cover new roofs and reroofs, which is the side of things we do most. That means strip, felt or breather membrane, new battens, tiles or slates, dry verge and ridge, and rainwater goods sized to BS EN 12056 so a heavy downpour doesn't overshoot the gutter. Garage roofs get the same care, and where an old garage has asbestos-cement sheeting we assess it and advise the safe, compliant route under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Standing seam zinc, aluminium, box profile and metal tile sheet are all options too, usually on porches, dormers and outbuildings.

Roof Surveys, Inspections and Reports

Worried you'll be talked into more than the roof needs? A survey is how you avoid that, because it puts the actual condition of the roof in front of you before anyone quotes. We inspect properly, including a drone view where access is awkward, which it often is on the tall terraces around Old Woking and on steep gables with narrow side passages.

Step one, call any time

A real person answers, day, night or weekend. Scott has spent more than 36 years on Surrey roofs and still picks up the phone himself. There's no call centre and no message taken by someone who's never held a slate ripper.

Step two, free survey

We come out, get eyes on the roof, and take the drone up if it helps. Nothing is charged for this and nothing is owed afterwards. If you've been searching for a roofer near you in Woking, this is the part that tells you what you're actually dealing with.

Step three, honest fixed price in writing

You get a fixed price on paper, itemised, with no obligation. If a smaller repair will do the job, we say so instead of pushing a new roof. The price is the price, and it covers labour, materials, access and clearing up.

Step four, work completed

Our own experienced local roofers do the work. We don't subcontract to strangers, so the people who quoted are the people on the ladder. Site left tidy, and the 25-year written workmanship guarantee handed over before the van leaves.

Emergency Roofing and Call-Outs

Storm damage doesn't keep office hours. We run emergency roofing 24/7, and emergencies go to the front of the queue, whether that's a stripped ridge, a dislodged chimney pot or water coming through a bedroom ceiling. First job is making it safe and dry, then we look at the permanent fix in daylight.

Whether you need a roofer in Woking or roofer services Godalming, we cover the whole area, along with Guildford, Cranleigh and the towns and villages across Surrey and the Wey Valley. We're family-run and fully insured, holding Public Liability Insurance, so you're not gambling on who turns up.

Alongside the emergency work we handle chimney repointing, flaunching, flashing and rebuilds, lead bays and flashings, fascias, soffits and cladding, seamless aluminium guttering, low-pressure soft washing and moss removal by hand. We don't pressure wash roofs, because it drives water under tiles and strips the surface off concrete.

One call, one number, and someone who'll tell you straight what your roof needs.
