Property Restoration Services London Ltd are roofers in Kew TW9 carrying out slate roof repairs, chimney repointing and gutter renewal on the Georgian townhouses around Kew Green and the Victorian and Edwardian terraces on the Priory Estate toward Kew Gardens station. We are based across the river on Chiswick High Road and cover TW9 alongside the rest of West and Southwest London. Most Kew enquiries are seen within two working days, with emergency callout for storm damage and active leaks, and we work with conservation area requirements in mind given how much of Kew sits inside the Kew Green Conservation Area next to the Royal Botanic Gardens.
Kew grew up around the royal residences on Kew Green, and the west side of the Green still carries the result: large Georgian semi-detached and detached townhouses, two to four storeys, most of them statutorily listed or locally listed as Buildings of Townscape Merit. St Anne's Church, founded in 1714 on land given by Queen Anne and now Grade II* listed, sits at the centre of the Green as the clearest marker of that period. Roof and chimney work here has to keep pace with what listed building consent expects, matching slate size, pointing style and ridge detailing to what is already there rather than defaulting to a modern substitute.
Moving east from the Green toward Kew Gardens station, the property mix changes to the Priory Estate, Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached houses built after the railway reached Kew, on streets including Priory Road, Bushwood Road, Cumberland Road, Forest Road and Haverfield Gardens. These houses were added to the conservation area in 1988 and carry gabled roofs with decorative bargeboards, timber balustrades, fretwork brackets and small ornamental front dormers, features the council's own appraisal treats as part of what the area is protected for. The same appraisal specifically flags large box dormers added to rear elevations on Bushwood Road as out of character, which is a useful reminder that alterations here get closer scrutiny than a straightforward like for like repair.
Kew Green also sits directly against the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, a UNESCO World Heritage Site entered through Elizabeth Gate and Lion Gate on Kew Road, which brings heavy visitor footfall past the properties nearest the Green all year. Nearer the river, around Ferry Lane and Mortlake Road, a run of cottages built as a mid nineteenth century extension of the village sit closer to ground level, and older slate and clay tile on these roofs is now well over a century old and due for attention.
We cover the full range of roofing work found across Kew's Georgian townhouses, Priory Estate terraces and riverside cottages, from slate repairs on Kew Green to gutter renewal on the streets nearer Kew Gardens station. Every job starts with an on site assessment before any quote is given.
Repairs to slipped or cracked slate and tile on the pitched roofs common around Kew Green and the Priory Estate, matched to the existing roof covering where the property sits inside the conservation area.
Renewal of gutters and downpipes on the Priory Estate's Victorian and Edwardian terraces and the Georgian townhouses around the Green, where original cast iron sections are often original to the house.
General roof repair for leaks, wind damage and ageing flashing across Kew's period housing stock, from Georgian townhouses on the Green to Edwardian terraces near the station.
Repointing and repair of the varied chimney stacks that form a key part of the Kew Green skyline, plus the shared stacks common on Priory Estate terraces.
Flat roof replacement and repair for the rear extensions found behind many Priory Estate terraces and Georgian townhouses, where a flat or low pitch section sits behind the main roof.
Emergency callout for storm damage, slipped slate and blocked gutters across Kew, including the streets closest to Kew Green and the Botanic Gardens boundary.
Slate and tile work is the job we are asked to do most often in Kew, simply because the area's two defining building phases, the Georgian townhouses around Kew Green and the Victorian and Edwardian terraces of the Priory Estate, are both roofed in natural slate or clay tile. Work usually means replacing individual slipped or cracked slates and tiles, renewing clay crested ridge detailing, and checking the flashing around the varied chimney stacks that give Kew Green its skyline.
Because so much of Kew sits inside the Kew Green Conservation Area, right against the Royal Botanic Gardens boundary, we treat matching materials as standard rather than an upgrade. On the Georgian side of the Green we match slate size and pointing to the existing townhouse rather than defaulting to a modern substitute, and on Priory Estate terraces we take care around the decorative bargeboards, fretwork brackets and small front dormers the council's own conservation appraisal specifically calls out as worth protecting. Where a rear extension has already introduced a large box dormer out of keeping with the street, as the appraisal notes has happened on Bushwood Road, we make sure any roof repair around it does not repeat that mistake.
The process is the same whether the job is a single slipped slate on Kew Green or a full gutter renewal on a Priory Estate terrace, so you know what to expect before we arrive.

We do not yet have a customer review collected specifically from a completed job in Kew that we can publish here with a verified name attached, and rather than write one and put a name to it, we would rather be straightforward about that. What we can tell you honestly is that we are a fully insured roofing contractor offering a ten year insurance-backed guarantee, and every review published on our Google Business Profile comes from a genuine customer account, never one we have written ourselves.
As we complete more roofing work across TW9, we will add verified Kew specific reviews to this page rather than inventing them in advance. In the meantime, read our existing customer reviews directly on Google.
We cover every part of Kew and the wider TW9 postcode area. Our engineers work directly for Property Restoration Services, we are not a franchise or a booking platform passing your job to a third party roofer.
Property Restoration Services London Ltd covers Kew TW9 in full, along with Richmond, East Sheen and Mortlake nearby, working alongside our Chiswick roofing team just across the river and our roofers in Barnes further along the Thames. We aim to carry out an on site assessment within two working days for standard repairs, and offer emergency callout for storm damage, slipped slate and active leaks, which matters given how many Kew roofs sit inside a conservation area where a temporary fix still needs to respect the streetscape. Every part of TW9 is covered, including the streets around Kew Green, the Priory Estate, Kew Road by the Botanic Gardens, and the riverside cottages near Ferry Lane and Mortlake Road. Engineers are employed directly by us, not subcontracted through a booking platform, and quotes are provided after an on site inspection with no call out charge for the initial visit.
Alongside Kew we cover the following areas, with dedicated pages for those already live on our site.
The questions below cover what Kew customers ask us most often.
We aim to carry out an on site assessment within two working days for standard repairs across Kew and the rest of TW9. For storm damage or an active leak we offer emergency callout and try to attend the same day, which matters given how many roofs here sit inside the Kew Green Conservation Area where even a temporary fix needs to respect the streetscape. Response time can vary slightly during periods of severe weather when demand across West and Southwest London increases, but Kew is a core part of our coverage area despite sitting across the river from our Chiswick base. We keep customers updated by phone if an appointment needs to shift.
Yes, we cover every part of Kew TW9, including the Georgian townhouses around Kew Green, the Priory Estate streets such as Priory Road, Bushwood Road and Cumberland Road, the properties along Kew Road nearest the Royal Botanic Gardens, and the riverside cottages toward Ferry Lane and Mortlake Road. Coverage extends beyond Kew itself to Richmond, East Sheen, Mortlake and Barnes nearby, alongside our Chiswick roofing team on the other side of the river. If your property sits inside TW9, we cover it.
We carry out a free, no obligation inspection of the roof before providing a quote. All quotes are provided following an initial assessment of the work required, we do not quote over the phone without seeing the roof first, since slate and chimney jobs in Kew can vary a lot depending on whether a property sits inside the Kew Green Conservation Area and what materials it already uses. Once you accept the quote we schedule the work and confirm a date. There is no call out charge for the initial inspection visit anywhere within our Kew and TW9 coverage area.
The process is the same whether the job is a single slipped slate on Kew Green or a full gutter renewal on a Priory Estate terrace. You call or contact us with a brief description of the problem and your postcode, we inspect the roof and provide a clear quote before any work begins, our engineer completes the agreed work using materials matched to the existing roof where the property sits inside the conservation area, and you receive a written summary of the work completed along with maintenance advice for the future.
Most of Kew Green's townhouses are statutorily listed or locally listed as Buildings of Townscape Merit, and much of the surrounding Priory Estate was added to the same conservation area protection in 1988, so a repair that changes the appearance of a roof line, a ridge detail or a dormer window is treated differently here than in an unlisted street. The council's own conservation appraisal specifically flags large box dormers added out of keeping with the street as a problem it wants to avoid seeing repeated. We match slate size, tile colour and pointing to what is already on the roof as standard practice in Kew, not as an optional upgrade, because getting it wrong can affect both the look of the street and any future consent application.
We see the most slate work around Kew Green itself, where the Georgian townhouses carry original or long since replaced slate roofs that need careful matching. The Priory Estate, particularly Priory Road, Bushwood Road and Cumberland Road, brings a steady amount of ridge, gutter and dormer flashing work on its Victorian and Edwardian terraces. The riverside cottages near Ferry Lane and Mortlake Road, being an older and lower lying part of the village, bring the most gutter and downpipe callouts, and properties directly on Kew Road nearest the Botanic Gardens see extra wear from the volume of visitor footfall passing close by throughout the year.
Yes. We carry out roof condition inspections for homeowners, buyers and landlords who need a clear picture of a roof's condition before completing a purchase, remortgaging or renewing a lease. The inspection covers slate and tile condition, ridge and chimney flashing, and gutter condition, and for a Kew Green or Priory Estate property we also note anything that may affect a future listed building or conservation area consent application. A written report is provided afterward, and this is a common request given the age and value of Kew's period housing stock.
This depends on the freehold and lease arrangements for the specific building, and Kew has a mix of single family Georgian townhouses, converted flats and properties above shops near Kew Gardens station where this varies. Terraces on the Priory Estate are individually owned in most cases, while some larger Kew Green properties and converted buildings fall under a management company or freeholder's remit for the main roof structure. We can identify where the fault lies during our inspection, but recommend checking your lease or speaking to your managing agent to confirm liability before work on a shared roof section proceeds.
A recurring leak usually means the original repair only addressed the visible symptom rather than the underlying cause, commonly a second failure point in the flashing that was not inspected the first time, or a gutter further along the run that was never cleared. This is especially common on Kew's older Georgian and Victorian roofs, where a chimney stack, a dormer junction and a ridge line can all be ageing at once, so a fault in one area is sometimes mistaken for a fault in another. We check the full roof and the surrounding flashing during a repair, rather than only patching the exact spot where water was seen coming through.
Many repairs on Kew's townhouses and terraces can be carried out using a tower or ladder access rather than full scaffolding, particularly for isolated slate or tile replacement, gutter clearance or flashing repair. Larger jobs, such as full re-roofing on a taller Kew Green townhouse or extensive ridge and dormer work on a Priory Estate terrace, may need scaffolding for safe access. We confirm the access method needed during the inspection so you know what to expect before work is scheduled, including how to keep disruption to a minimum on streets with heavy footfall near the Botanic Gardens.
Most like for like repairs, such as replacing a slipped slate with a matching one or repointing a chimney stack, do not require planning permission. Kew Green sits within a conservation area designated by Richmond upon Thames, the same borough that states it has more designated conservation areas than any other London borough, and the Royal Botanic Gardens next door is itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so alterations that change the appearance of a roof, such as adding rooflights, replacing a dormer or altering the roofline, are more likely to need consent, and some Kew Green properties are individually listed on top of that. We flag anything that may need consent during the inspection so you can check with Richmond upon Thames conservation area guidance before work proceeds, rather than assuming a repair is exempt.
