Guildford Roofing - Roofing Contractors & Roof Repairs

It comes down to the size of the roof, the materials you choose, and how much of the structure beneath needs attention. We give a firm itemised figure once we have seen it.

It varies by age of property. Guildford grew rapidly after the railway arrived in the 1840s, so the town has a high proportion of Victorian and Edwardian houses with steep slate and clay-tiled roofs, chimneys and leadwork - areas like Charlotteville and Onslow Village are typical. Alongside those sit inter-war and modern homes, plus older cottages out in the villages. Slipped or nail-sick slates, worn lead flashings, cracked chimney flaunching, and blocked or failing guttering are the most common issues we see, and we check all of it during an inspection, not just the obvious.

If the problem is in one spot - a handful of slipped tiles, a bit of failed flashing, a single leak - a repair almost always covers it. Replacement makes sense when a roof is genuinely worn out or patched past the point of sense.

Deal with the inside first - move anything valuable clear, get a bucket under the drip - then call us and we will get out to trace it.

Always ask a roofer to show public liability insurance before they start, and we will gladly provide ours. It is the simplest way to know you are dealing with a legitimate firm.

A minor repair is often done the same day or within a day or two. A full re-roof naturally takes longer - usually a few days - and we give you a realistic timeframe once we have seen the job.
