What should Stanmore homeowners know?
Old Church Lane and Stanmore Hill keep Georgian and Victorian buildings with slate and clay tiles. Large Edwardian and interwar detached homes on Stanmore Hill and around Stanmore Common have steep plain tile roofs and tall chimneys. Interwar semis cover much of the rest, and many larger houses have been rebuilt or extended with flat roofs.
What goes wrong on Stanmore roofs?
Exposure on the hill. Homes high on Stanmore Hill catch the wind, loosening ridges, verges and older plain tiles.
Large flat roofs. Rebuilt and extended houses have big flat roofs that fail at edges and outlets.
Chimney stacks. Tall stacks on Edwardian houses lose flaunching and lead, letting water into chimney breasts.
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 Stanmore’s conservation status affect repairs?
Harrow has several conservation areas in Stanmore, including the unusual flat-roofed 1930s houses of Kerry Avenue. Like-for-like repairs are usually fine; material changes need checking.
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 Stanmore: FAQs
Do you repair flat roofs on larger rebuilds?
Yes, including EPDM rubber replacement, edge trims and outlets.
My ridge tiles keep loosening. Why?
Exposure on the hill. Re-bedding or a dry ridge system fixes it for good.
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.
