Ashtead has a lot of 1930s houses with hips, valleys and bay roofs, alongside older cottages and newer homes on the edges. Those older hipped roofs need careful handling: more valleys and flashings than a plain roof, and often original lead that has been there for decades. Mature trees around Ashtead Common and the Park also mean heavier leaf fall in gutters and valleys, and moss on shaded slopes. ### Local to Ashtead A short drive from our Bookham base, so you get a local roofer, not a job passed on to whoever is free. ### We know the local houses Hips, bay roofs and original lead flashings are common work for us in Ashtead. ### Trees and moss Leaf fall and moss on shaded slopes near the Common and the Park are handled as routine maintenance. ### Free written quote We'll show you the problem, explain it plainly, then give you a free detailed quote with the guarantee stated.

Workmanship guarantees on work in AshteadTiled roofs25 yearsFlat roofs15 yearsGuttering & fascia work5 yearsChimney & leadwork10 years Local roofs, local problems ## Common Ashtead roofing problems The faults we see in Ashtead follow the age and shape of the housing: plenty of valleys and flashings, plenty of original lead, plenty of trees. ### Failed lead on bay and hip roofs Lead that's been in place for eighty or ninety years cracks along its fold lines. A hairline crack gets patched with mastic, and the leak comes back. Replacing the section in properly dressed lead stops it for good. ### Original tile fixings wearing out On older clay and concrete tiles, the nails and battens are usually the weak point, not the tiles. On a hipped roof, slipping tiles can come off entirely, so we check the fixings and give a straight answer on repair or replace the roof. ### Valleys blocked by leaves The wooded roads near Ashtead Common fill valleys with leaves that rot down and block the flow. Water then pushes sideways under the tiles. Clearing, and renewing the lead where the valley has failed, is the fix. ### Old extension flat roofs Once a flat roof's fall has flattened and the deck has softened, water stands and finds the joins. We lift the old felt, replace soft decking, correct the falls and replace the roof in three-layer felt. ### Chimney stacks letting in water Mortar joints erode and flaunching cracks on Ashtead's older stacks. The result is often a damp patch on a chimney breast, mistaken for condensation. Repointing, new flaunching or new pots stops it. ### Moss on shaded slopes Moss holds water against the tile face and blocks gutters when it breaks free. It needs removing carefully, without heavy pressure washing that damages older tiles. How the job runs ## The same six steps on every Ashtead job - Step 1 ### Get in touch You describe what you have noticed (a stain on a ceiling, a slipped tile, an overflowing gutter) and Matt tells you on the phone whether it sounds like a repair or something larger. - Step 2 ### We look at the roof We look at the actual roof: the tiles, the flashings, the valleys, the gutter falls and the loft side where water is showing. Guessing from the ground is how the wrong job gets quoted. - Step 3 ### We explain what we find You are shown what has failed and why, including photographs of anything you cannot see yourself, so the decision is yours rather than ours. - Step 4 ### A free, detailed written quote Materials, method and scope in writing, with the guarantee that applies to the work stated on it. No verbal figures that change once the scaffold is up. - Step 5 ### We do the work We protect what is below, keep the site clear at the end of each day and take the old material away with us. Customers mention the tidy site as often as the roof itself. - Step 6 ### Checked and guaranteed Repairs and new work get tested before we call them finished, then your workmanship guarantee is confirmed in writing, up to 25 years on tiled roofs.
