Harrow is built on a hill, and the roofs on it take the weather first. The prevailing south westerlies hit the slope head on, lift loose ridge tiles and drive rain under tired hips. That is why so many Harrow enquiries start with a ridge that has shifted or a hip that has opened up.
The housing tells you what is under the tiles before anyone climbs a ladder. Victorian and Edwardian houses around Roxeth and the town centre carry Welsh slate or old clay plain tiles on lead-lined valleys. The Metroland semis that filled HA2 and HA3 after the Metropolitan Railway arrived have hipped roofs, bay windows with their own little roofs, and tiles that are now close to ninety years old. Rear extensions, porches and dormers add flat roofs to nearly every street.
As roofers in Harrow with over 25 years' experience, we have stripped, patched and rebuilt every one of those roof types. You get the right answer for your house, not a standard package.
Harrow is a borough of very different neighbourhoods, and the jobs change with them. Here is what the roofs are like in each part of the borough, and the work people call us for.
| Where in Harrow | Housing | Slate or tile | Jobs we are called for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harrow on the Hill and Roxeth, HA1 | Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas | Welsh slate, old clay plain tile | Slipped slates, lead valleys, chimney flashings |
| Rayners Lane, North Harrow and Kenton, HA2 and HA3 | 1930s Metroland semis | Clay or concrete tiles on hipped roofs | Ridge and hip re-bedding, broken tiles, guttering |
| Harrow Weald and Wealdstone, HA3 | Victorian terraces, inter-war and post-war estates | Slate, plain tile, concrete interlocking tile | Full re-roofs, fascias, flat roofs on extensions |
| Stanmore, HA7 | Cottages, villas and 1930s rendered houses | Slate, fishscale and plain clay tile | Matching repairs, lead work, chimneys |
The hill is one of the most protected pieces of London, so any work on it has to respect the planning rules as well as the weather. Harrow on the Hill Village, Harrow Park, South Hill Avenue, Mount Park Estate, and Roxborough Park and The Grove are conservation areas with Article 4 directions, and Roxeth Hill, Harrow School and Sudbury Hill are conservation areas too. Work in the Article 4 areas needs planning permission first.
We price these jobs like for like. Natural slate goes back as natural slate, clay plain tiles go back as clay plain tiles, and the ridge, hip and lead details are copied from what was there. That keeps the roofline the council expects and gives you a roof built to last the full 20 years of the written guarantee.
If your house is listed or you are unsure which area you are in, give us the road and we will tell you what applies before the quote.
Mortar-bedded hips and ridges crack after decades of wind. We re-bed them, replace broken tiles and fit dry verge and ridge systems where the old mortar has gone. A leak you can see on the ceiling is traced to the tile, flashing or valley that caused it, and our roof repairs page sets out how.
Gable-end stacks, shared party stacks and bay windows all depend on lead. When the flashing lifts or the flaunching around a pot cracks, water runs down the breast into the bedroom. We rebuild stacks, renew lead work and repoint, as set out on our chimney repairs page.
Older felt roofs on extensions and porches reach the end of their life, and a patch only buys a winter. We lay felt, EPDM rubber and fibreglass, and the flat roofing page shows which system suits which roof.
When battens and membrane have perished under the tiles, a repair is money wasted. We strip, fit breathable membrane and treated battens, and re-tile in slate or tile. Read what a new roof involves and what it costs before you decide.
Stanmore HA7 sits on the high ground north west of Harrow and has some of the oldest roofs in the borough. Little Common conservation area mixes 17th century cottages, Georgian houses, Victorian mansions and 1930s colonial-style rendered houses, and the roofs are slate and clay: plain tiles, fishscale tiles, decorative ridge tiles and brick chimneys with terracotta pots. Some 1930s houses on Stanmore Hill carry green glazed tiles.
Stanmore Hill conservation area has 17 listed buildings, including Grade II* 73 Stanmore Hill, so repairs to listed property need the right materials and the right consent. The Canons Park estate has its own Article 4 direction. We match fishscale slates, clay ridges and lead details exactly, because on these roofs the detail is the value.
If you live in Stanmore, ask for a free, no obligation inspection before you commit to any work.
Every Harrow job runs the same way, so you always know the next step.
Most calls to our roofers in Harrow start with a ridge, a hip or a leak at the chimney, and the survey is where the cause is found.
Controlled parking zones surround Harrow town centre and the stations, and roads such as Waldron Road next to Harrow School are narrow by London standards. A scaffold that has to stand on the pavement needs a highway licence from the council, and any third party charge like that is listed in your written quote.
The office is at 59 Union Street, Dunstable, about 30 miles up the M1. Harrow is a short run for us, so you get a proper survey rather than a phone guess, and a risk assessment before every job.

Word for word, each one linked to the platform it was left on.
I was very impressed with the skills, knowledge and professionalism of Hugh and his team. I was given a very thorough explanation of the work that would be done and helpful advice answering all my questions. The work was completed in a timely manner, and they left my property clean and tidy. The end result looks great I am very happy with it.
Our chimney, fascia and gable boards needed repair. When the edge tiles came off the deterioration of the roof battens and roofing membrane was obvious. Such is the excellent customer care and problem solving, Hugh’s team swung into action, extra scaffolding was swiftly erected and the whole roof replaced with new tiles within two weeks, with some additional work I requested also completed. All done efficiently, tidily and by a skilful, hard-working and polite team. I appreciated such good communication and advice and am delighted with the outcome. Several neighbours have said how impressed they are with the finished result. I am happy to recommend this company to others.
The team were especially resourceful and helpful, with excellent problem-solving ability and an impressive can-do attitude. Their cheerful and considerate approach was much appreciated. The complete new roof fitted on our house looks very impressive from every angle and is clearly of a high standard and well finished. Overall a very professional company.
Every job, from a single slipped tile to a full re-roof, comes with a 20 year guarantee in writing. You get it with your paperwork when the job is signed off, and if anything we did lets you down inside those 20 years, you ring the same number and we come back and put it right.
