Borough by borough

Where we work, and what the roofs are like there

Building stock decides the job long before anybody chooses a system. A borough of interwar semis produces garage roofs on their first covering; a borough of Victorian terraces produces wall junctions that let go; a borough of post-war blocks produces programmes. Most of these have some of each.

Croydon

The home borough carries the widest mix on this list, from bay-window terraces north of the town to garages and dormers up on the Downs, whole estates at New Addington and the big sheds out along the Purley Way.

Bromley

The largest borough on the map by ground covered, and felt on an Orpington garage is a different afternoon from a shopfront roof at Penge.

Sutton

Interwar building at its most repetitive: street after street of the same porch, the same garage and the same weary covering, with the St Helier kitchen additions along the northern edge.

Merton

Three characters share one borough, the conservation streets at Wimbledon, the interwar garages of Morden and Raynes Park, and the estate blocks facing Croydon at Mitcham.

Lewisham

Ridge down to creek: parapet valleys at Brockley and Forest Hill, estate blocks around Catford, and podium decks at the rebuilt town centre.

Greenwich

Two boroughs in one, with Eltham semis whose garages still wear the covering they were built with, and a riverside belt out to the Royal Arsenal that wants programmes rather than call-outs.

Kingston upon Thames

Suburban and commercial sit side by side, with New Malden and Chessington garages a few minutes from one of the larger shopping centres in outer London and everything bolted to its roof.

Richmond upon Thames

Work here has to be discreet: conservation streets stand on both banks, long parapet runs wrap the riverside blocks, and Whitton and Hampton keep their garages behind them.

Bexley

West to east the work changes completely, from Sidcup and Welling garages to trade estates and big sheds along the Erith riverside.

Give us a phone number or an email address, whichever suits you.

A picture of the stain inside, or of the roof if there is a safe window to take one from, usually saves a question. Your browser sends them as you choose them, so they are on their way before you press send.
