What the Houses Are,and What Goes Wrong.
Victorian and Edwardian Sutton
Terraces and villas around the centre and along the older roads, under Welsh slate, with shared chimneys and lead valleys. Nail sickness is the usual story, and slate roofs patched with sealant by someone in a hurry.
The 1930S Belt
Cheam, Belmont and the roads out towards Carshalton are largely inter war semis under clay plain tiles and early concrete. Ridges, valleys and chimneys reaching the end, and a lot of dormers on converted lofts.
Cheam and Carshalton Villages
Both have genuinely old centres with period houses under clay and slate, some listed. Like for like repair with matched reclaimed materials, which is what these roofs deserve.
The Streets and Their Roofs
Sutton is a large suburb of 1930s housing, street after street of clay plain tile semis around Cheam, Benhilton and Rosehill, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces nearer the town centre in slate. Belmont and Cheam Village have older houses and cottages, and the post war estates towards Rosehill and St Helier are concrete interlocking tile, many now due a re roof rather than another repair.

Sutton is eight miles from Leatherhead and covered from the London line, 0203 507 1501. It is the London Borough of Sutton, and Cheam Village is a conservation area. On the terraced streets near the centre the scaffold usually needs a pavement licence, which is arranged with the council before the scaffold goes up.

What Is WrongWith My Roof?
The six things Sutton 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 Sutton
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 Sutton
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 Sutton
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 Sutton
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 Sutton
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.

Sutton questions
QuestionsFrom Sutton.
Anything not covered here, call 01372 540 258 and ask. You will get a roofer, not a call centre.
Do you cover Cheam and Carshalton?
Yes, and Belmont, Worcester Park, North Cheam and Wallington.
Can you repair a Victorian slate roof in Sutton?
Yes. Reclaimed Welsh slate to match, copper nails so it does not slip again, and lead formed on site.
How long to get to a Sutton job?
About half an hour from Leatherhead. Same or next day for a leak.
Do I need planning permission for roof work in Sutton?
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 borough. We check the status of your house before we quote and tell you what applies.
Do you arrange the scaffold and access in Sutton?
Yes. On the terraced streets in Sutton the scaffold usually has to sit on the pavement, which needs a licence from the council and sometimes a parking suspension; the scaffold company applies and the lead time is built into the programme. We are 8 miles away in Leatherhead, under an hour outside the rush, and the London line, 0203 507 1501, comes straight through to the same team.
