Roofers in Great Bookham

## Local roofers in Great Bookham
We live and work in Great Bookham. A slipped tile, a weeping gutter joint or a cracked flashing is always worth a visit, because we are not driving far to look at it.

The village has a real mix of roofs: older tile and slate near the High Street and Church Road, plenty of inter-war and post-war semis, and newer estates with interlocking concrete tiles. Mature trees mean gutters and valleys fill with leaves every autumn, and shaded slopes hold moss.

### Based in the village
We&#x27;re family-run and based in Great Bookham. No call centre, no travel time added to a small repair.

### Period roofs
Older tile, slate, lead and chimney work around the High Street and Church Road handled with care, not stripped out unnecessarily.

### Estate housing we know well
The inter-war and post-war roofs across the village tend to fail in the same way. Knowing that saves time and money.

### Trees, moss and blocked valleys
Mature planting causes a lot of Great Bookham leaks. Usually cheap to fix, expensive to ignore.

Local roofs, local problems

## Common roof problems in Great Bookham
Similar building ages and heavy tree cover produce a fairly repeatable set of problems.

### Tiles slipping on older roofs
On roofs laid before the 1970s, tiles often outlast the nails holding them. We check the battens and tell you plainly whether you need repairs or a new roof.

### Mortar ridges and verges lifting
Old mortar bedding cracks and lets go. We re-bed properly or fit a dry ridge and verge system that fixes mechanically instead.

### Blocked valleys
A valley carries water off two slopes, so it&#x27;s the worst place for leaf litter to gather. Once blocked, water runs under the tiles instead of down. Clearing and renewing the lead the valley is the fix.

### Old flat roofs on extensions
Many flat roofs were laid years ago with falls that have since flattened. We strip back, replace soft decking, correct the fall and form the upstands and outlets so it drains properly.

### Moss on shaded slopes
Mature trees keep north-facing slopes damp. Removing moss carefully and clearing the gutters prevents saturated tiles and frost damage.

### Damp patches on chimney breasts
Older stacks have eroded pointing and cracked flaunching. Repointing, replacing crumbling brick and renewing the flaunching or pots deals with the cause.

How the job runs

## The same six steps on every Great Bookham 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 Great Bookham

## Frequently asked questions
Are you actually based in Great Bookham?Yes. We are a family-run business based in the village itself.

Will you come out for one slipped tile?Yes. There&#x27;s no travel to price in here, so single repairs are worth doing and often stop a larger bill later.

What does a roof repair cost in Great Bookham?It depends on the cause, the covering and the access. We inspect and give you a free, detailed written quote before any work starts.

Do you offer emergency roof repairs?We are not a 24-hour emergency service. We work Monday to Saturday 8am to 6:30pm and Sunday 9am to 4pm, and urgent local damage is prioritised where the diary allows.

Can you work on a period property in the conservation area?Yes. Older tile, slate, lead and chimney work is normal for us, and we repair and match rather than replace wholesale.

How often should Great Bookham gutters be cleared?Once a year after leaf fall on most roads, twice where trees overhang the roof directly.

Do you replace flat roofs on extensions here?Yes. Decking is checked, falls corrected, and the new roof carries a 15 year workmanship guarantee.

What guarantee do I get?25 years&#x27; workmanship on tiled roofs, 15 years on flat roofs, 5 years on guttering and fascia work, 10 years on chimney and leadwork, written on your quote.

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

Do you cover Little Bookham as well?Yes, and the surrounding villages: Fetcham, Effingham, Leatherhead, East and West Horsley, Ashtead, Cobham, Epsom, Shalford, Woking and Guildford.
