Just over the border from Shirley
Shirley sits on the Croydon side of the boundary with the London Borough of Bromley, so for us Bromley is the neighbouring borough rather than a trip out. We cover BR1 and BR2: the town centre and the roads round Bromley North and Bromley South stations, Sundridge Park, Shortlands, Bickley, Hayes, Bromley Common and Keston.
Large Victorian and Edwardian houses
Shortlands, Bickley and the streets close to the town centre have many large Victorian and Edwardian houses, often with steep slate or clay tile roofs, several slopes meeting in valleys, tall chimney stacks and decorative ridges. A roof like that has a lot of joints, and most leaks start at one of them: a lead valley that has split, flashing that has pulled away from a stack, or a slate that has slid out after its nails rusted through. Getting to them safely usually means a proper scaffold.
1930s semis in Hayes and Bromley Common
Further south, around Hayes and Bromley Common, the roads are more often lined with 1930s semis and detached houses: hipped roofs in clay or concrete plain tiles, with a bay window at the front. Their weak spots are the mortar on the hips and ridge, the little bay roof where it meets the wall, and plain tiles that have cracked or slipped. Many have since had a loft conversion with a dormer, or a flat-roofed extension at the back, and those bring their own repairs.

Trees, moss and gutters
Bromley is a green borough, and houses near Hayes Common, Keston Common and the parks get a lot of leaves and moss in their gutters. Once a gutter blocks, it overflows onto the wall and the fascia, and the timber behind it starts to rot. We clean gutters, repair and replace them with their downpipes, and renew the fascias, soffits and bargeboards they hang from.

“Reme was great to work with! We had an internal leak coming through our flat roof on our extension. He came out for a quote promptly, and booked us in the next week to patch it up. While he was up there, he fixed a few other weak spots that he found, free of charge, which was very appreciated. He’s definitely knowledgeable about roofs, and was very reliable. Would recommend!”

We called him back to repointed our chimneys, replaced the concrete flashing with lead and replaced our gutter and downpipe and cap our fascia . All work done very well.

Questions about roofing in Bromley
Do you cover Bickley, Shortlands and Hayes?
Yes. We cover all of BR1 and BR2, so as well as the town centre that takes in Shortlands, Bickley, Sundridge Park, Hayes, Bromley Common and Keston. If you are near the edge of the borough, ring and ask.
Do you work on large Victorian and Edwardian roofs?
Yes. A bigger, older roof usually means more scaffold, more lead and more slopes to check, so we look over the whole roof before we quote and tell you what it needs now and what can wait.
Is a licence needed for scaffolding on the pavement in Bromley?
Yes, if any of the scaffold stands on the pavement or the road, it needs a licence from Bromley Council. The scaffolder normally applies for it when we book the scaffold. Scaffold that stands only on your own drive or garden does not need one.
Can you match the slates or tiles on an older house?
Usually, yes. Reclaimed slates and tiles in the right size and colour can often be found for older roofs. Where an exact match is hard to find, the closest one can go on a rear slope, with the originals kept for the front. We talk it through with you before we start.
How much will a roofer in Bromley cost me?
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.
Can you come out quickly in Bromley?
Ring us on 07956 058079 and we will tell you when we can get there. We answer from 7am to 7pm.
Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. A couple of loose ridge tiles, one dripping gutter joint or a single cracked slate is worth a call, and it gets the same care as a whole new roof.
