Services
We provide roof repairs designed to address the actual cause of water ingress rather than simply the location of an internal damp patch. Patrick inspects the roof and supplies photographs of the fault before touching a tile. Our services cover leak tracing, tile and slate replacement, and ridge refixing. A fallen slate or displaced covering can expose battens to rain, particularly where older roofs have no membrane beneath. 
Our roof replacement service is designed for homeowners whose existing coverings can no longer provide reliable protection. Patrick examines the roof structure and loft, documenting the condition of the tiles, felt, battens and timbers through photographs. We use these findings to recommend the appropriate work and provide one fixed price before proceeding. Once the old roof has been removed, our team installs the new covering, clears away waste and requires payment only after completion. 
When a flat roof develops a leak, we assess the affected area carefully to determine how water is entering and travelling beneath the surface. Photographs help us show you the problem and explain the proposed work before you make a decision. Repairs may involve replacing damaged felt, sealing EPDM seams, relaminating GRP or renewing failed flashing details. Our pricing is agreed upfront, with payment upon completion. 
Choosing a new roof involves understanding the condition of the existing structure and selecting suitable replacement materials. We inspect the roof and loft, assess the tiles, battens, membrane and rafters, and explain our recommendations using photographs. Once the price is agreed, we remove the old covering, replace any rotten timber identified and install the new roofing system. Available finishes include concrete tiles, natural slate and slate-effect materials, with payment required only after completion. 
When your roof suffers storm damage or begins leaking into your property, we provide emergency roof repairs to address the problem promptly. Patrick personally inspects the damage, photographs the affected areas and explains the necessary work. We agree the price with you before starting, prioritise making the roof watertight and collect payment only after the work is completed. 
When a roof develops faults, we identify the damage and carry out the necessary repairs to put matters right. Frost, advancing age and weather exposure can crack tiles, allowing water to reach the felt beneath them. Loose ridges, deteriorated felt and poorly executed previous repairs are also addressed. Patrick photographs the affected areas and agrees the cost with you beforehand. 
Choosing our new guttering service means having your existing gutters and downpipes removed and replaced with a newly fitted uPVC system. We provide half-round, square and ogee options, helping you select a profile suited to your house. Before installation, we inspect the fascia boards, take measurements and agree the cost upfront. Our team fits the brackets and drainage components carefully, tests the system with water and clears away the old materials. All work is guaranteed for 10 years, with cover of up to 20 years depending on the job. 
Our chimney repair service covers the essential work needed to protect your roof and property from water penetration. We rebuild damaged flaunching, secure loose chimney pots, install replacement cowls, repoint open brickwork joints and renew failed flashing. Patrick supplies photographs of the stack and explains the necessary repairs before agreeing a clear price with you, payable upon completion. 
We help maintain and renew slate roofs throughout Croydon and Streatham, working on Victorian terraces and villas with natural slate or slate-effect materials. Slipping slates, cracks and leaks at roof valleys are common signs of deterioration. On roofs more than a century old, loose slates can point to failed nails, while extensive metal patches may reveal repeated fixing problems. Payment is made on completion. 
Our tiled roofing services cover concrete interlocking roof replacements for 1930s semis, alongside repairs to clay plain tiles. If your concrete tiles have become porous, we will inspect the roof and supply a written quotation without charge or obligation. Over time, their surface coating wears away, exposing the sand beneath and allowing moisture absorption, moss development and additional weight, while frost can cause tiles to split. 
We offer EPDM rubber roofing for homeowners seeking a dependable replacement for worn flat-roof coverings. Unlike traditional felt, Firestone RubberCover can cover most domestic roofs in one continuous membrane, reducing the possibility of seam-related leaks. Its flexible construction performs well in both hot and freezing weather, while an optional warm-deck system can help reduce heat loss in the room below. All installations include a 10-year guarantee, potentially extending to 20 years according to the work involved. 
We specialise in GRP roofing systems that form a single, hard-wearing shell across flat roof surfaces. During our initial assessment, Patrick examines the deck, edges and drainage outlets, takes photographs and explains the recommended approach. Once the price has been agreed, we schedule installation for suitable dry weather, using reinforced fibreglass laminate and pre-formed trims to achieve a durable, watertight finish. 
We install torch-on felt roofing with a mineral cap sheet for extensions, garages and dormers. Before any work is agreed, Patrick provides photographs showing every split in the existing roof. Exposure to sunlight and frost can cause old felt to crack, while blisters may trap air or water between layers and allow rain to reach the roof deck. 
We believe fascia and soffit replacement should be based on the actual condition of your roofline. Our inspection covers the front, rear and any bay or porch, with photographs supplied to show where timber has deteriorated. You receive a clear price before work begins, and sound sections can remain in place. We then fit uPVC replacements, inspect supporting timbers, provide soffit ventilation and reinstall the guttering using new brackets. 
We provide professional lead flashing renewal wherever a roof meets a chimney or wall, replacing split, damaged or lifted lead with new code 4 lead. Before any work is agreed, Patrick photographs the existing flashing from every side to show the cause of the leak. We explain the required repairs, agree the price beforehand and check surrounding tiles. 
Apex offers experienced repointing for brick walls and chimney stacks, replacing worn mortar with fresh pointing carefully matched to the existing brickwork. This process helps prevent rain from gathering in damaged joints and entering the masonry. Having worked in the trade for over 30 years, we provide free quotations from photographs. Our guarantees cover 10 years as standard, with periods of up to 20 years depending on the job. 
Our gutter repair service is designed to address both minor leaks and more extensive damage, including sections loosened by severe weather or incorrect support. Patrick examines the complete run, records the faults with photographs and outlines the recommended repairs before any commitment is made. We replace defective fittings, renew damaged lengths and adjust the gutter's alignment where necessary. A final water test checks that drainage is working correctly, and payment is requested only after the agreed work has been completed. 
Our approach to gutter cleaning combines debris removal with attention to drainage and leaking joints. We clear the entire gutter system, collect the waste and ensure outlets and downpipes are flushed through with water. Dripping joints are cleaned, dried and sealed while the gutters are empty. Before and after photographs show the results, including sections that cannot easily be inspected from ground level. 
We offer a comprehensive roof repair service for properties affected by storms and high winds, helping to prevent further damage caused by water entering through exposed areas. From missing slates to lifted ridges and torn flat roof coverings, we address the problem thoroughly. Customers receive photographs documenting the damage, an agreed written quotation in advance and the reassurance of payment upon completion. 
Our dry ridge and verge service addresses loose mortar affecting ridge tiles and gable ends in Croydon. We replace traditional sand and cement bedding with mechanically secured systems that hold the tiles in place. Patrick shows you photographs of the damaged mortar before an agreement is reached, ensuring the existing condition is clearly demonstrated. We have completed over 400 projects. People
