Effingham has period cottages near the church and The Street, large detached houses on generous plots along Beech Avenue and Orestan Lane, and rural properties and converted farm buildings on the edges. Large plots mean large roofs, with more valleys, hips and chimney flashings than a standard house. Open ground towards Effingham Common also catches wind that lifts mortar-bedded ridge and verge tiles, while the wooded lanes fill gutters and valleys with leaves. ### Minutes from our Bookham base One of the closest villages to us, which keeps small repairs sensible instead of something that has to wait. ### Large detached roofs More valleys, hips, stacks and flat roofs than a standard house. We survey the whole roof, not just where the leak shows. ### Period and rural buildings Cottages and outbuildings in tile, slate and lead, repaired in keeping with what's there. ### Wind on open ground Exposed roofs lose mortar-bedded ridge and verge tiles first. Dry-fix systems stop it happening again.

What we offer is over thirty years' experience, a free quote and guarantees in writing. ### 30+ years of experience Matt has worked on Surrey roofs for over thirty years, including the village and rural buildings that make up much of Effingham. ### Local and family-run Work is run from Bookham, a few minutes away. ### Guarantees on paper 25 years tiled, 15 years flat, 5 years guttering and fascia, 10 years chimney and leadwork. ### £2m / £10m insurance Matters on large plots with outbuildings, glass and boundaries close by. ### The whole roof assessed On a big roof the leak and the cause are often on different slopes. We look at all of it before quoting. ### Tidy, protected sites Planting, drives and glazing protected, and old material taken away with us. Workmanship guarantees on work in EffinghamTiled roofs25 yearsFlat roofs15 yearsGuttering & fascia work5 yearsChimney & leadwork10 years Local roofs, local problems ## Common roof problems in Effingham Older village buildings, large detached roofs and exposed open ground each bring their own faults, sometimes two at once. ### Ridge and verge tiles lifting in wind On the more open Effingham roads, wind gets under ridge and verge tiles whose mortar bedding has hollowed out. A dry ridge and verge system fixes each tile mechanically instead of relying on mortar. ### Valley failures on complex roofs Large houses have multiple valleys, each concentrating water from two slopes into one line. When the lead has split, water runs under the tiles and shows up indoors well away from the fault. ### Neglected outbuilding and garage roofs Stables, garaging and converted outbuildings usually carry flat roofs that go uninspected for years. We replace what's gone, correct the fall and replace the roof with proper edge trims. ### Tall chimney stacks letting water in Period properties carry high stacks that take the full weather. Pointing erodes and flaunching cracks, showing up as damp on a chimney breast that's often mistaken for condensation. ### Gutters overflowing behind trees Wooded lanes fill gutters every autumn, and one blocked outlet can soak a whole run of fascia. Clearing and realigning to the correct fall deals with both cause and damage. ### Tiles slipping on older roofs Mid-century houses across Effingham are often at the age where the tiles are sound but the fixings aren't. We check the battens and tell you honestly whether repairs still make sense. How the job runs ## The same six steps on every Effingham 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.
