Roofers for Richmond’s Historic Homes
Richmond has some of the oldest and most varied housing in the areas we cover: Georgian terraces near the Green and up Richmond Hill, Victorian and Edwardian houses in Kew and North Sheen, and newer homes in between. Ashlar Roofing works as a roofer across TW9 and TW10 in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, and the age of many roofs here calls for a careful, traditional approach.
Natural slate, handmade clay tiles and lead are the materials you find most often on these houses. All three last a long time when properly fixed and maintained, but each fails in its own way. Slates slip as their nails corrode, clay tiles crack and lose their nibs, and lead splits where it has been fitted in pieces that are too large. Knowing which is happening is the start of any repair.
Many period roofs have been repaired over the years with mismatched tiles or cement fillets where lead should be. Part of our job is to point out where earlier work is causing problems, so you can decide whether to put it right.
Richmond
Listed Buildings, Conservation Areas and Article 4 in TW9 and TW10
Much of Richmond is covered by conservation areas, a number of buildings are listed, and some streets carry Article 4 directions that bring roof changes under planning control. Like-for-like repairs using matching materials are normally the expected approach. If anything would change the materials or appearance of the roof, Richmond upon Thames Council can confirm what consent is needed before work begins.
The trees that make Richmond so green also affect its roofs. Properties near Richmond Park, Kew Gardens and the riverside often have overhanging branches, so gutters and valleys fill quickly and shaded slopes gather moss. We check these as part of every survey and include clearance in the quote where needed.
