Roofing, Flat Roofs & Guttering in Caterham

Across Caterham (CR3) it is mostly re-roofs and repairs on Victorian and interwar housing on the valley slopes, chimney work, and flat roofs on extensions, plus the chimney repairs, lead work, gutter clearing and car port roofs that go alongside all of it. Caterham sits in or hard against the Surrey Hills National Landscape and has a conservation area at its core, so external materials on anything visible get more scrutiny than they would in Horley or Crawley. Like for like clay tile or slate, lead rather than a cement fillet, and permeable surfacing at the front are the finishes least likely to raise a question, and they also tend to be what suits the buildings.

It does. Caterham sits on the edge of the Surrey Hills and a lot of the housing is older brick, stone or tile hung with clay tile and slate roofs, which means two practical things. Materials on anything visible get looked at more closely, so like for like coverings and lead rather than mastic are the path of least resistance. And the exposure matters: property on the Downs takes weather that Horley and Crawley do not, which shows up as failed ridge mortar, lifted verges and chimney flaunching cracked right through.
