Your house is likely the biggest investment you will ever make. To keep it warm, dry, safe, and secure, you must invest in ongoing roof repairs and maintenance. The roof over your home protects your family and your belongings. It also keeps structural elements free from mould, rot, damp and water damage. Likewise, if you own or manage a rental property, a watertight roof protects tenants, their possessions, and your own long-term investment.
Operating out of Woking, our roofing company's team has over 80 years of experience in pitched and flat roofing. From Guildford to Weybridge and from Esher to Cobham, property owners across Surrey trust us to keep their roofs in optimal condition.
Northwood Roofing Contractors provides the following roofing services:
You can find dedicated pages for roof repairs, GRP flat roofing, high-performance torch-on felt roofing and roof tile replacement on the menu of this website. As such, we have not focused on these services below.
Is your roof in Woking particularly old, or has your home in Weybridge or Guildford undergone significant previous roof repairs? It is often more cost-effective to invest in a new roof installation. While the initial outlay and disruption are relatively large, your investment will require little to no maintenance or repairs for many years.
For localised damage on roofs in otherwise good condition, our roofers can perform a partial re-roofing. This service offers less disruption and lower costs than full re-roofing. Of course, our roofing company sources materials that match those used in the original installation.
All roofs have vulnerable areas that are more susceptible to water ingress. You can find these in the joints of pitched and flat roofing. For example, where a chimney or dormer rises vertically out of the roof.
Also known as flashing, leadwork provides a watertight seal around these joins. We strongly recommend speaking with one of our roofers if you think your leadwork has loosened. This could leave your interior roofing structure exposed to the elements and large-scale roof repairs.
If your property has a chimney, repointing is key to maintaining its structural integrity. Generally, mortar joints last approximately 25 years. Over time, they endure temperature fluctuations and all manner of weather conditions.
As the mortar dries out and crumbles, your chimney becomes more susceptible to collapse. Bricks, however, usually last for over 100 years. When left to our roofers, repointing with fresh mortar makes the most of your original brickwork without compromising safety.
Your property’s roof has a fascia, soffit, and guttering system, collectively known as the roofline. This system plays the important role of channelling rainwater and melted ice away from pitched and flat roofing, reducing the risk of water ingress.
Cracked fascias and soffits leave the interior timberwork exposed to rot, mould and damp. Likewise, a leaking or blocked gutter may cause water to spill down exterior walls.
If left untreated, roofline damage can cause serious structural and aesthetic issues.
Our roofing company doesn’t just specialise in roof repairs and maintenance. Our roofing contractors also install Velux roof windows for property owners in Woking, Weybridge, Guildford and across Surrey. If you’re planning to utilise your loft or attic space as a new bedroom, bathroom, hobby room or home office, Velux roof windows create a room filled with natural light.
We integrate these windows into the existing roof slope, so they involve minimal construction work and disruption, especially when compared with other loft conversion styles.
