Roof repairs in Ruislip
Most Ruislip repairs are on 1930s semis: hips and ridges re-bedded, slipped tiles refixed, bay roofs re-leaded and eaves felt renewed. We also look after older roofs in the village core with reclaimed peg tiles.

What should Ruislip homeowners know?
Around St Martin’s Church and Manor Farm, Ruislip has timber-framed and old brick buildings under clay peg tiles. Ruislip Manor and the roads around the stations were built up in the 1930s with hipped semis in plain clay or early concrete tiles, tile-hung bays and porches. Post-war houses and bungalows fill the edges towards the Lido and woods.
What goes wrong on Ruislip roofs?
1930s roofs reaching the end of their fixings. Ruislip Manor’s interwar roofs often have rusted nails, brittle felt and loose hips all at once.
Bay and porch roofs. Small tiled bay and porch roofs leak at the flashing long before the main roof.
Woodland moss. Roads near Ruislip Woods and the Lido get heavy moss and leaf fall.
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 Ruislip’s conservation status affect repairs?
The village centre around Manor Farm is a conservation area with listed buildings. Most of the 1930s estates have no special controls.
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 Ruislip: FAQs
Is it worth repairing a 1930s Ruislip roof?
Often yes, if the tiles are sound. We check the nails, felt and battens and show you photos so you can decide.
Can you fix my leaking bay window roof?
Yes. New lead flashing and refixed tiles usually solve 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.
