Roofer in Kingston
Most people call a roofer for a leak, slipped tiles, or a flat roof that has come to the end of its life.
About Kingston
Kingston upon Thames is a Royal Borough in south-west London, with a riverside, a historic market place and a large student population. Rented flats and family houses sit side by side, which makes for a lot of different jobs. Kingston is close to the Thames.
Near open water the wind and spray can be heavier, so ask how tiles and flashings will be fixed.

What a roofer does
A roofer inspects the roof, finds the cause of a leak and repairs or replaces the covering. They should explain what they found and show photos.
Jobs people often ask roofers to do:
- Replacing slipped or broken tiles
- Fixing a leaking flat roof
- Repairing chimney flashings
- Fitting fascias and soffits
- Fitting roof windows
Before you book a roofer
- Ask about scaffolding. For anything beyond a small repair a safe access platform is the normal, safe choice.
- If bats roost in a roof they are legally protected. A roofer should stop work and get advice if they find any.
- Flat roofs can be felt, rubber or fibreglass. Ask why they suggest one and how long it should last.
- Ask whether the price includes new battens, underlay and the clearing of old materials.
