Roofing, Flat Roofs & Guttering in Oxted

Across Oxted (RH8) it is mostly clay tile and slate re-roofs on Edwardian and interwar housing, chimney rebuilds, lead valleys, and fascias and guttering, plus the chimney repairs, lead work, gutter clearing and car port roofs that go alongside all of it. Oxted 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.

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.
