A town of 1930s roofs
Much of Bexleyheath was built in the 1930s, and its streets are full of semis and short terraces with hipped roofs, plain tiles, bay windows with their own small roofs, and chimneys shared between neighbours. There are older Victorian and Edwardian houses nearer the Broadway, post-war houses and flats elsewhere, and a great many homes have since gained a flat-roofed extension, a garage or a loft dormer.
Where these roofs leak
Hips and ridges bedded in mortar are often the first thing to go on a roof like this: the mortar cracks, the tiles loosen, and a strong wind can bring one down. The bay roof comes next, especially where its flashing meets the house wall. Many original roofs of this age were laid without felt underneath, so a single slipped tile lets rain straight into the loft. And plenty of the roofs re-covered in concrete interlocking tiles years ago now carry a thick coat of moss.

Roof repairs and leaks
We find the cause first, then quote. Typical repairs on these roofs are re-bedding hips and ridges, replacing cracked or slipped plain tiles, new lead flashing on bays, chimneys and walls, and re-pointing chimney stacks.
“Overall he did a great job and was knowledgeable about the issues we had and how to solve them.”
GoogleFlat roofs, extensions and garages
The flat roofs added onto houses over the years, on kitchens, garages and porches, rarely last as long as the main roof. Felt cracks, joints open and water pools in the dips. We patch what can be patched, and when the covering has failed in several places we take it off and lay a new flat roof.
New roofs, gutters and fascias
When an old tiled roof is slipping all over, we quote to replace it in tile or slate. We also clean, repair and replace gutters and downpipes, and the fascias and soffits behind them. All 18 of our Google reviews are five stars, and reviewers mention prompt, courteous service, fair prices and clear explanations of what needs doing.

“Reme came and replaced our guttering and also made some other roofing repairs and maintenance work. Overall he did a great job and was knowledgeable about the issues we had and how to solve them. Recommend if you are in the area and need any roofing / guttering work doing.”
Richard PurnellGuttering and roof repairs2024 Google“We had a leak in our roof that was causing our internal wall to show damp. ... After speaking to Reme on the phone, he promised to come out the next day to have a look, which he did. He diagnosed the problem straight away and sent me a quote that evening, which I accepted. He arranged for scaffolding to be erected that weekend as we have a townhouse, and that week came out and fixed the guttering and replaced some tiles, and did some repointing to the ridge tiles ... Would definitely recommend.”
Neil StonebridgeRoof leak, tiles, ridge and guttering2024 Google“I contacted the company for a quote as I had water leaking from the gutters each time it rained. They came out quickly and identified that the problem was with the gutter brackets which were changed. Prompt courteous service. Highly recommend - thank you.”

Questions about roofing in Bexleyheath
Do you cover all of Bexleyheath?
Yes. Bexleyheath is part of our area across DA6 and DA7, including Upton and Barnehurst. Ring and tell us where you are, and we will arrange a time to come and look.
Can I send photos first?
Yes. Send what you can see from the ground on WhatsApp to 07956 058079, and we will tell you what we think and arrange a visit.
Do I need planning permission to re-tile my roof?
Replacing a roof covering with something similar does not usually need planning permission. If your house is listed or in a conservation area, or you want a noticeably different material, check with Bexley Council first. We can talk you through what the job involves so you know what to ask.
Do you repair flat roofs on garages and extensions?
Yes. We repair splits, blisters and leaking edges, and lay new flat roofs when the old one is worn out. Garages and porches often have the oldest flat roof on a property, so they are worth a look while we are there.
Is moss on my concrete tiles a problem?
A thin coat does little harm. Thick moss holds water against the tiles, lifts their edges and washes into the gutters, where it causes blockages and overflows. We clear the gutters and check the tiles and ridge for damage at the same time.
How much does a roofer in Bexleyheath charge?
It depends on the job, the roof and how we get to it, so we do not guess from a photo. We come out, look at the roof, and give you a free quote before any work starts.
