What should Pinner homeowners know?
The High Street has timber-framed and Georgian buildings under clay peg tiles, many listed. Metroland brought 1920s–30s semis and detached houses with hipped plain clay tile roofs, bay windows and tile-hung gables. Pinner Hill and the roads off Moss Lane hold larger Arts and Crafts homes with steep tiled roofs and tall chimneys.
What goes wrong on Pinner roofs?
Bay roofs and tile-hung gables. 1930s bays and tile-hung gables lose tiles and leak where the lead meets the brickwork.
Hips and ridges on Metroland semis. Mortar-bedded hips and ridges crack and loosen after ninety years.
Plain tiles slipping. Original nails on 1930s plain tile roofs corrode, and tiles start to slide.
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.

Does Pinner’s conservation status affect repairs?
Harrow has several conservation areas in Pinner, some with Article 4 controls on roofs. Like-for-like repairs are normally fine; changing tiles or adding rooflights may not be.
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 Pinner: FAQs
My 1930s bay window leaks. Is it the roof?
Usually the small bay roof or the lead where it meets the wall. We find the exact point and photograph it.
Can I change my roof tiles in a Pinner conservation area?
It depends on the area and any Article 4 direction. Like-for-like repairs are normally fine; we check with Harrow if needed.
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.
