Roofs in Harrow
What we tend to find on Harrow roofs
Harrow covers a lot of ground. Metroland 1930s semis around Kenton and Wealdstone, older Victorian and Edwardian property towards Harrow-on-the-Hill, and mock-Tudor stock with steep pitches. Clay plain tiles and natural slate are still on many of the older roofs.
Steep clay plain-tile roofs shed water well but are unforgiving of bad repairs. Slotting concrete tiles into a plain-tile roof to save money leaves a step in the surface that funnels water onto the batten below.
Getting to you from Hayes
A cross-town run from Hayes, but a familiar one. Harrow work is usually booked a few days ahead.
Our yard is at 43 Hudson Road, Hayes, UB3 5EL. Ring 07584 213 770 with the postcode and we will tell you straight away whether we are the right people for the job.

Roofing services available here
Searching for a roofer near you covers a lot of ground. One tile off after a windy night and a roof that has been quietly failing for a decade need very different conversations.
New roofs
Full pitched-roof renewal when patching has stopped paying. Strip out, new membrane and battens, tile or slate.
New roof details →Flat roofing
Extensions, garages, porches and dormers. We check the deck and the falls before choosing a covering.
Flat roofing details →Fibreglass roofing
Seamless GRP where the deck and the detailing suit it. Trims, upstands and outlets are part of the job, not an extra.
GRP roofing details →Gutters
Repairs and replacement. Getting water off the roof and away from the wall is half of keeping a house dry.
Gutter service details →Metal roofing
Standing seam and profiled sheet, mostly on extensions and dormers. Set-out has to be right first time.

Harrow roof assessment
What we look at on local roofs
Older roofs may combine original materials with several generations of local repair. Understanding which details are performing and which are failing helps avoid replacing sound work or patching an area that needs coordinated renewal.
Before you ring, jot down the postcode, which part of the roof is affected and when you first noticed it. If the weather changes what happens indoors, mention that too. Photos from the ground or the loft help. Never climb up on a wet roof.
Mixed materials
Identify incompatible repairs, damaged coverings and changes that may affect drainage.
Chimney details
Assess flashing, mortar and the surrounding roof rather than treating each in isolation.
Ventilation signs
Distinguish rain entry from condensation indicators when damp is visible in the roof space.
Choosing a local roofer
Checking out a local roofer
Everyone searching for the best or the cheapest roofer wants the same thing underneath: somebody who will not vanish and will not cut corners. That part you can actually check.
- Get the trading name, a direct number and a real address you could post a letter to
- Ask for the scope in writing, including what gets stripped out and what goes back on
- Compare quotes line by line rather than on the total at the bottom
- Ask to see a job photographed start to finish, not one glossy final shot
- Check insurance and any trade memberships yourself instead of taking the logo on the van for it
Work you can inspect
Fourteen photos from one complete roof
Our project page shows preparation, membrane and battens, roof-window junctions, slate installation and the finished roof. It is our own work, photographed as it happened. We have not relabelled it as a Harrow job, because it was not one.

Harrow questions
Questions we get from this area
Can you match old clay tiles or slates?
We can usually get a reasonable match, and reclaimed material is often closest. We will show you what we intend to use before it goes on, not after.
Can you assess a leaking roof in Harrow?
Yes. Tell us when the leak shows itself, where the staining is, and whether it gets worse in wind as well as rain. Photos from the ground or from inside the loft help a lot. Do not go up on the roof yourself.
Do you work on flat roofs in Harrow?
Yes, on extensions, garages, dormers and porches. Before we can price anything we need to know what the covering is, whether the deck underneath is sound, which way it falls and where the water is meant to go.
How do I compare roofing quotes?
Line by line, not on the total. Check what each quote includes for stripping out, materials, scaffold or access, skips and guttering. The cheap one is often cheap because something is missing from it.
