Roofers in Caterham

Caterham is a Surrey commuter town set in a valley through the chalk North Downs, which grew with the railway and is largely Victorian, Edwardian and modern in character. The roofscape runs from clay plain tile and tile-hanging on the older and Arts-and-Crafts houses to concrete tile on the later estates, with substantial properties whose roofs carry multiple hips and valleys. Roof repairs lead the local trade.

The wooded chalk-downland setting means significant tree cover, so leaf-blocked gutters and valleys and moss on shaded north slopes are ongoing maintenance issues, and the steep valley sides add access complications. For owners here, stay ahead of gutter and moss clearance given the trees, concentrate survey attention on the valleys and junctions of the larger roofs, and match clay tile and tile-hanging on period stock. Assess ageing concrete-tile and flat roofs on the newer housing for overhaul or renewal, and keep ridges secure on exposed hillside plots.
