Roofing in Charlwood
Charlwood is a village with a conservation area around its older core and green belt on every side, so re-roofs on the period cottages and farmhouses are expected to go back in matching clay tile or slate and chimneys are almost always repaired rather than taken down. On the postwar housing around the edge the covering is a free choice. In practice most of what we are asked for in Charlwood is clay tile and slate re-roofs and repairs on period cottages, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

What roofing work do you do in Charlwood?
Across Charlwood (RH6) it is mostly clay tile and slate re-roofs and repairs on period cottages, chimney repointing and lead work, and gutter clearing, plus the chimney repairs, lead work, gutter clearing and car port roofs that go alongside all of it. Charlwood is a village with a conservation area around its older core and green belt on every side, so re-roofs on the period cottages and farmhouses are expected to go back in matching clay tile or slate and chimneys are almost always repaired rather than taken down. On the postwar housing around the edge the covering is a free choice. Every job starts with James coming out and looking at it, then a free written estimate, rather than a price guessed over the phone.
Do you charge extra to come out to Charlwood?
No. Charlwood is about 4 miles from the Smallfield yard, well inside the half hour patch, so travel is in the price and a visit to measure and quote is usually a couple of days away.
Have you worked in Charlwood before?
Yes. Charlwood is a conservation village on the far side of the airport and the work there is careful re-roofs, chimneys and lead on older cottages rather than anything quick. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find on roofs around St Nicholas church, and what yours is likely to need before anything comes off.
Does the type of property in Charlwood change the job?
It does. Charlwood has an older core of cottages and farmhouses under clay tile and slate, often with big chimneys and a lot of lead, and a ring of postwar housing around it. On the old property the covering is expected to go back like for like and the stacks get repaired rather than removed, which is careful work off a scaffold. On the newer houses it is straightforward re-roofs, fascias and guttering. Both are normal work for J&L and they get priced very differently.
Do I pay anything up front for work in Charlwood?
No. J&L does not take upfront payments on any job, in Charlwood or anywhere else. You get a written estimate before work starts, the work is done, and you pay when it is finished and you are happy with it. Every job is guaranteed, and the Checkatrade reviews, 9.87 out of 10 from 234 customers, are the record of how that has gone.
How soon could you start work in Charlwood?
Charlwood is around 4 miles from the Smallfield yard, so getting out to measure and quote is quick. Storm damage and leaks get looked at first. When a bigger job can actually start depends on the diary and the weather, which is normally a few weeks out. We would rather give you a real date than a hopeful one, so ring and we will tell you where the next honest slot is.
