What kind of roofs are in Radlett?
Radlett grew around its station from the late 1800s. The roads either side of Watling Street are lined with large Edwardian and interwar detached houses under plain clay tiles with big hipped roofs and tall chimneys, many rebuilt or heavily extended. Modern replacement houses bring large concrete or clay tiled roofs, flat-roofed rear extensions, crown roofs and roof lights.

Are there conservation areas in Radlett?
Most of Radlett has no conservation area, but large replacement and extension schemes mean roofs often mix old and new work. Nearby Aldenham and Letchmore Heath villages are conservation areas with stricter controls.

What we see in Radlett
What typically goes wrong with Radlett roofs?
Crown roof flat sections
The flat top of a crown roof is easy to forget until it leaks. Felt there often fails long before the tiled slopes.
Old roof meets new extension
Junctions between original plain-tile roofs and later extensions are where leaks start.
Long hips and ridges
Big hipped roofs have long runs of mortar-bedded hips that loosen over time.

Roof repairs in Radlett
Radlett repairs often involve height and scale: long hips re-bedded, crown roof flat sections re-covered, and leaks traced at the junction of old and new roofs. A drone survey is often the safest way to see the whole roof first.
Roof cleaning and moss removal in Radlett
Large roofs among mature gardens collect moss on every north and shaded slope. On roofs this size, hand removal and soft wash with biocide is the only method that doesn’t damage the tiles or flood the loft.
Gutter cleaning in Radlett
Big roofs shed a lot of water into long gutter runs. Leaves from large gardens block outlets and hoppers, and crown roofs often have internal outlets that need clearing too.

Local questions
Radlett roofing questions
My Radlett house has a crown roof. Can you repair the flat part?
Yes. We re-cover crown roof flats in EPDM, torch-on felt or GRP and make sure the tiled slopes and flat section are properly joined.
Can you survey a large roof without scaffolding?
Often, yes. A drone lets us photograph every slope safely before deciding if scaffold is needed.
Do you work in Letchmore Heath and Aldenham?
Yes, and we take the conservation-area rules there into account.
