Do you work on listed buildings in Beaconsfield Old Town?

Yes. We use materials that match the original roof, handmade or reclaimed clay tiles, natural slate and code lead, and we keep the original detailing at eaves, verges and dormers. If listed building consent is needed for the work you are planning we will tell you before you commit, so nothing is done that has to be undone.

My New Town house has original clay tiles. Do they need replacing?

Often not. Clay plain tiles regularly outlast the roof beneath them. What usually fails first is the nails, the battens and the underfelt, along with lead valleys and flashings. We inspect the roof, photograph what we find and tell you whether it needs a full re-roof, a strip and re-lay reusing your tiles, or a repair.

Can you repair a slate roof, or does it have to be replaced?

Individual slipped or broken slates can be replaced and fixed with copper or stainless tail hooks. When a roof is losing slates every winter the nails have usually corroded across the whole slope, and at that point a re-slate is better value than an endless run of repairs. We will tell you which you are looking at.

How quickly can you get to Beaconsfield?

About twenty-five minutes from our base at Castle Hill in Windsor via the A355 and M40. We run a 24-hour emergency callout, and for a quote visit we can usually be with you within a day or two.

Roofers in Beaconsfield

Trusted roofers in Beaconsfield, rated 5.0 from 150+ reviews on Bark, with free written quotes on every job. Two very different towns share one name here: the Georgian coaching town around the Old Town crossroads, and the Edwardian and inter-war New Town that grew up around the station. We roof both.

Old Town Roofs and New Town Roofs, Both Done Right

Beaconsfield's Old Town grew up around the coaching road between London and Oxford, and the Georgian and older buildings along London End, Wycombe End, Aylesbury End and Windsor End still carry their original roof forms: steep pitches, handmade clay tiles, slate on the later frontages, and a great deal of lead around parapets, dormers and chimneys. Many are listed or sit in the conservation area. Work on them has to be done with the right materials and a light touch, which is exactly the kind of work we enjoy.

The New Town is a different job. From the arrival of the railway in the early 1900s, Beaconsfield spread north and east with substantial detached houses on generous plots, most of them under plain clay tiles with big hipped roofs, tile-hung bays and tall stacks. Those roofs are now eighty to a hundred years old, and the nails, battens and leadwork underneath the tiles are usually the reason a New Town roof starts leaking, not the tiles themselves.

We come to Beaconsfield from Castle Hill in Windsor, about twenty-five minutes down the A355 and M40, close enough for quick quote visits and a genuine emergency response. The photographs here are from a natural slate roof we completed in Twickenham, and there are clay tile, Redland and flat roof case studies on our Our Work page. Every image is our own job.

For listed and period properties, our heritage roofing page explains how we match handmade tiles and reclaimed slate, replace lead like for like and keep the original detailing that gives an Old Town roof its character.
