What we do here

Roofing in Godstone

Godstone 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. In practice most of what we are asked for in Godstone is clay tile and slate re-roofs on period cottages and farmhouses, with everything else on the list available alongside it.

Questions

Working in Godstone

What roofing work do you do in Godstone?

Across Godstone (RH9) it is mostly clay tile and slate re-roofs on period cottages and farmhouses, chimney repointing and lead work, and outbuilding roofs, plus the chimney repairs, lead work, gutter clearing and car port roofs that go alongside all of it. Godstone 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. 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 Godstone?

No. Godstone is about 7 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 Godstone before?

Yes. Godstone sits on the edge of the Surrey Hills and the village green is ringed with older property, so roof work there is nearly always careful tile, chimney and lead repair. Give us a ring and we will tell you what we normally find on roofs around Godstone Green, and what yours is likely to need before anything comes off.

Does the type of property in Godstone change the job?

It does. Godstone 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.

Do I pay anything up front for work in Godstone?

No. J&L does not take upfront payments on any job, in Godstone 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 Godstone?

Godstone is around 7 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.
