What the Houses Are,and What Goes Wrong.
The Old Town and Reigate Hill
Victorian and Edwardian houses under slate and clay, with tall chimneys and the decorative gables of the period. The slate roofs are into nail sickness; the clay ones are losing their ridges and valleys; the chimneys on the Hill take the full weather.
Inter War Reigate
The semis and detached houses that filled in between the old town and the villages, clay plain tiles and early concrete, ninety years old and mostly on original battens. Sound from the road, less so up close.
Post War and Newer
Estates from the 1950s onward under concrete interlocking tiles, plus a good deal of flat roofed extension and garage work from the 70s and 80s now at the end of its felt.
The Streets and Their Roofs
Reigate has a Victorian and Edwardian core around the High Street, Bell Street and the roads up to Reigate Hill, most of it Welsh slate with lead detailing and some handsome clay roofs on the larger houses. Meadvale, Woodhatch and South Park are inter war and post war, clay plain tile giving way to concrete interlocking tile as you go out, and the houses under the hill take a lot of weather from the south west.
Working in Reigate
Reigate is eight miles east of the office and covered from the Reigate line, 01737 749202, which rings through to the same team. It is in Reigate and Banstead, and the town centre is a conservation area with listed buildings among the older houses. Most houses have a drive for the scaffold; on the terraced streets near the centre a pavement licence is sometimes needed.

What Is WrongWith My Roof?
The six things Reigate customers call us about most. Choose the one you can see and we will tell you what it usually is.
Likely cause
Usually a slipped or cracked tile, or failed lead around a chimney or valley. The stain is rarely under the hole: water runs along a rafter before it drops. We trace it back rather than guess.
Usually the job is
Roof Repairs in Reigate
Likely cause
The nails or the tile clips have gone, and if one has moved the ones around it are usually loose too. Worth doing quickly, because the gap lets wind under the rest of the row.
Usually the job is
Roof Repairs in Reigate
Likely cause
Nearly always the lead flashing where the stack meets the roof, or open mortar joints in the stack itself. It gets blamed on the roof and it is almost never the roof.
Usually the job is
Chimney Repairs in Reigate
Likely cause
Either blocked, or sagging so the fall runs the wrong way, or the joints have opened. Left alone it soaks the wall below and you get damp inside.
Usually the job is
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering in Reigate
Likely cause
Standing water means the falls are wrong or the outlet is blocked. Bubbles mean water is already under the covering. Both are fixable, but not by patching over the top.
Usually the job is
Flat Roofing in Reigate
Likely cause
If you can see light you can get water. Sometimes it is one missing slate, sometimes the felt underneath has perished and the whole slope is nearing the end of its life. We will tell you which.

Call or Send a Photo

A Written Quote
One price, itemised, no obligation. If a repair will do the job we will say so rather than sell you a new roof.
The Work Itself
Scaffold where it is needed, site kept tidy, photo updates as we go, and everything cleared when we finish.

Reigate questions
QuestionsFrom Reigate.
Anything not covered here, call 01372 540 258 and ask. You will get a roofer, not a call centre.
Is there a Reigate number I can call?
Yes, 01737 749202. It comes through to the same team.
Do you cover Redhill and Merstham too?
Yes, and Buckland, Betchworth, Reigate Heath and South Park.
Can you work on the Victorian houses on Reigate Hill?
A lot of our slate and chimney work is up there. Matched reclaimed slate, lead formed on site, scaffold included in the price.
Do I need planning permission for roof work in Reigate?
For a repair or a re roof in the same material, normally not. A listed building needs consent for most roof work, and in a conservation area a change of material on a roof seen from the street may need permission from the council. We check the status of your house before we quote and tell you what applies.
Do you arrange the scaffold and access in Reigate?
Yes. Most houses in Reigate have a drive or a quiet road for the scaffold, and where it has to stand on a pavement the licence from the council is applied for before the start. We are 8 miles away in Leatherhead, so a survey is usually within the week and a leak can often be looked at the same day.
