What kind of roofs are in Ickenham?
Around the village green and Swakeleys Road are older cottages and listed buildings under clay tiles. Most of Ickenham is 1930s Metroland: detached houses and semis with hipped plain clay tile roofs, bays, tile hanging and gabled fronts. Later infill and extensions add flat roofs and dormers.

Are there conservation areas in Ickenham?

What we see in Ickenham
What typically goes wrong with Ickenham roofs?
Hips, ridges and bonnets
Mortar-bedded hips and bonnet tiles on 1930s roofs crack and loosen over time.
Bay roofs
Small bay roofs and their flashings are a common source of leaks into front rooms.
Dormer and flat roof junctions
Loft conversions add dormers and flat roofs that leak at the joins with the main roof.

Roof repairs in Ickenham
Ickenham repairs are mostly 1930s roofs: hip and ridge re-bedding, bay roof leaks, slipped plain tiles and dormer junctions.
Roof cleaning and moss removal in Ickenham
Tree-lined roads leave shaded slopes mossy. Hand removal, soft wash and biocide clean plain tiles without cracking them.
Gutter cleaning in Ickenham
Street trees fill gutters every autumn, and blocked bay gutters cause damp above the front window.

Local questions
Ickenham roofing questions
My hip tiles are loose. Is that a big job?
Usually not. Re-bedding or mechanically fixing hips is a repair, not a re-roof.
Do you work on loft conversion dormers?
Yes, including leadwork and flat roofs on the dormer.
Do you cover Hillingdon and Uxbridge too?
We cover Ickenham and its neighbouring roads; call to check your street.
