Roofers in East Horsley

## Roofing across East Horsley
We work from Bookham, and East Horsley is a straightforward drive west. East Horsley has a mix of twentieth-century houses and bungalows around Ockham Road South and Bishopsmead, and larger, older brick and flint properties towards the downs, many with steep pitches, tall chimneys and a lot of lead.

The village is heavily wooded, so overhanging trees keep slopes damp, fill valleys and gutters with leaves, and drop debris behind chimney stacks. A large share of East Horsley leaks start as a blockage rather than a broken tile.

### Close to our Bookham base
A short run along the A246, so small repairs are still worth doing.

### Period brick, flint and lead
Steep pitches, tall stacks and heavy lead detailing on the village&#x27;s older buildings, repaired in keeping with what&#x27;s there.

### Bungalows and mid-century housing
Long, low roofs where worn-out nails and old flat-roofed extensions are the two usual culprits.

### Woodland and leaf litter
Valleys, gutters and shaded slopes deal with heavy tree cover here. Most of it is cheap work that prevents a real leak.

Local roofs, local problems

## Common roof problems in East Horsley
Heavy tree cover, steep older pitches and mid-century estate housing produce a fairly consistent set of problems here.

### Blocked valleys behind mature trees
A valley takes water from two slopes, so it&#x27;s the first thing to suffer when leaves build up. Once it dams, water pushes sideways under the tiles. Clearing, and renewing the lead where the lead has split, is the lasting repair.

### Lead flashings on period brickwork
Older buildings rely on lead where roofs meet brick, flint and stone. Old lead cracks along the folds and pulls out of chased joints. We strip it out and re-dress the lead into a properly raked joint.

### Tiles slipping on older roofs
Mid-century houses and bungalows are often at the age where the tiles are sound and the nails aren&#x27;t. We check the battens and tell you whether re-fixing still makes sense or a new roof is the better route.

### Flat roofs on extensions and garages
Many flat roofs here are past their design life with falls that have flattened out. We strip back, replace soft decking, correct the fall and form upstands, drips and outlets properly.

### Damp chimney breasts under tall stacks
Eroded pointing and cracked flaunching let water into the masonry, showing up as a patch on the chimney breast. Repointing, replacing brick and renewing the flaunching deals with the cause.

### Moss on shaded slopes
Slopes under overhanging trees stay damp, and moss holds that water against the tiles. Stripping it carefully, then clearing the gutters it has filled, prevents saturated tiles and frost damage.

How the job runs

## The same six steps on every East Horsley 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.

Questions from East Horsley

## Frequently asked questions
Do you cover East Horsley?Yes. We&#x27;re based in Bookham, a short run away, and we cover West Horsley too.

Will you come out for a single repair?Yes. We&#x27;re close enough that one tile, one flashing or one gutter joint is worth doing on its own.

What does a roof repair cost in East Horsley?It depends on the cause, the covering and the access. We inspect, then give you a free, detailed written quote.

Do you offer emergency roof repairs?We&#x27;re not a 24-hour emergency service. We work Monday to Saturday 8am to 6:30pm and Sunday 9am to 4pm.

Can you work on the older brick and flint properties?Yes. Steep pitches, tall stacks and hand-dressed lead detailing are normal work for us.

My ceiling is staining but the tiles look fine. What now?That&#x27;s often a blocked valley or a failed flashing rather than a broken tile. We trace the water rather than guessing from the ground.

What guarantee do I get?25 years on tiled roofs, 15 years on flat roofs, 5 years on guttering and fascia, and 10 years on chimney and leadwork.

Are you insured?Yes. £2m public liability and £10m employers&#x27; liability.
