Roof repairs in Northwood
In Northwood we repair steep plain-tile roofs, tile-hung gables and chimneys, and trace leaks at valleys and dormers. On 1930s semis in Northwood Hills, it is often hips, ridges and eaves felt.

What should Northwood homeowners know?
The Frithwood estate and roads around the station hold Edwardian and interwar detached houses under plain clay tiles, with tile hanging, half-timbered gables and tall chimneys. Northwood Hills, to the south, has 1930s semis with hipped roofs. Modern rebuilds and blocks of flats add large flat roofs.
What goes wrong on Northwood roofs?
Tile hanging and gables. Vertical tile hanging and timbered gables lose tiles and let water in behind the timber.
Steep roofs, old nails. Interwar plain tiles on steep pitches slide once their nails corrode.
Heavy tree cover. Northwood’s mature trees drop leaves into valleys and gutters, causing overflow leaks.
How do we do roof repairs?
Most roofs that leak or shed a slate need a repair, not a new roof. We find the actual cause, show you photographs of it, and fix that, whether it is a single slipped slate on a tingle or a slope suffering nail sickness.
Full details on our roof repairs page.
Does Northwood’s conservation status affect repairs?
Hillingdon has designated conservation areas in Northwood around Frithwood and the Green Lane town centre. Roof changes that alter the look need care there.
Our process
What you get
- 01
Survey and photograph
We go up, photograph every defect and the condition of the surrounding roof.
- 02
Repair vs re-roof, honestly
If a repair will last, we repair. If the fixings have failed across the slope, we tell you why with photos.
- 03
Match the material
Reclaimed slates and tiles matched for size, colour and thickness so the repair disappears.
- 04
Photos of the finished work
You see what was done, even on the slopes you can’t see from the garden.
Questions
Roof repairs in Northwood: FAQs
Do you cover Northwood even though it is in London?
Yes. Northwood, Northwood Hills and neighbouring Hillingdon roads are part of our regular area.
Can you repair tile hanging on my gable?
Yes, with matched tiles and new fixings, and we check the battens and felt behind it.
Can you replace just one slate?
Yes. A single slipped or broken slate is refixed or replaced using a copper or lead tingle, with a reclaimed slate matched to the rest of the roof.
