Property Restoration Services London Ltd are roofers in Chelsea SW3, working on the lead flat roofs and parapet gutters of the Georgian townhouses along Cheyne Walk and Chelsea Square, and the slate and lead work on properties around the Royal Hospital and King's Road. We are based on Chiswick High Road and cover SW3 and SW10 alongside the rest of West London. Most Chelsea enquiries are seen within two working days, with emergency callout available for storm damage and active leaks.
Property Restoration Services London Ltd is a roofing company based on Chiswick High Road covering Chelsea SW3, including Cheyne Walk, Chelsea Square, King's Road and the streets around the Royal Hospital Chelsea. The team carries out leadwork and parapet gutter repairs on listed Georgian townhouses, natural slate repair, chimney repointing, GRP and EPDM flat roofing, and emergency callout, with particular care taken given how much of Chelsea sits within a conservation area or carries listed building status. Standard repairs are assessed on site within two working days, and same day inspection is available for storm damage and active leaks. All roofing work carries a ten year insurance-backed guarantee, and the company holds public liability cover of 2 million pounds, rising to 5 million pounds for commercial and block work. Quotes follow a free, no obligation on site inspection. Call 020 3633 8101 to book.
Chelsea's conservation coverage is exceptionally high: the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea's own figures put conservation areas across roughly 70 to 73 percent of the borough, and SW3 accounts for a large share of that alongside a high concentration of listed buildings. Cheyne Walk, running along the river and one of the most photographed residential streets in London, sits within its own Cheyne Conservation Area, and the terraces here are largely Georgian, with lead flat roofs and parapets original or close to it. The stretch of Cheyne Walk west of Beaufort Street is technically in SW10 rather than SW3, a boundary detail worth knowing if you are searching by postcode rather than street name.
Away from the river, the streets around Chelsea Square and off King's Road are a mix of Georgian and Victorian terraces, many individually listed, with a strong concentration of period roof detailing: valley gutters, box gutters and decorative parapets that need specialist leadwork rather than a generic flat roof repair. The grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, founded as an almshouse by King Charles II in 1682 and still home to the Chelsea Pensioners, sit at the eastern edge of SW3 and bring their own heritage constraints to any nearby work.
Chelsea's riverside exposure to wind off the Thames is a genuine parallel to what our teams see on the Putney Embankment further upstream, though the specific streets, listed building status and Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea planning process here are quite distinct from Wandsworth Council's approach on the south bank.
From lead flat roofs on Cheyne Walk to slate repairs on Chelsea Square terraces, we cover the full range of roofing work typical of SW3. Every job starts with an on site assessment before any quote is given.
Repair and re-lining of the lead flat roofs, box gutters and parapets on the Georgian terraces of Cheyne Walk and Chelsea Square.
Repair of slipped and cracked slate on the Georgian and Victorian terraces off King's Road and around Chelsea Square, matched to the existing slate.
GRP and EPDM rubber flat roofing for rear extensions and loft-conversion dormers, planned around Chelsea's listed building and conservation area constraints.
Repointing, flaunching and flashing renewal on the tall Georgian chimney stacks of Cheyne Walk and Chelsea Square.
Same day callout for storm damage and slipped slates across SW3, with temporary weatherproofing until a full repair can be scheduled.
Box gutters, parapet outlets and rainwater goods on Chelsea's Georgian terraces, plus flat roof gutter renewal on mansion blocks.
Cheyne Walk's Georgian terraces present lead flat roofs and parapets directly to the Thames, and that riverside position brings a specific combination of problems: wind-driven rain and river gusts stress lead laps and upstands more than an inland street would, while the Cheyne Conservation Area and the high proportion of listed buildings mean any repair needs to match existing detailing rather than default to a modern equivalent. We see the same wind-exposure pattern on our Putney Embankment work upstream, though Chelsea's listed building status and RBKC's specific consent process are handled quite differently to Wandsworth's approach south of the river.
On a typical Cheyne Walk repair we assess the full parapet run and both outlets, not just the visible leak point, because a concealed box gutter on a house this size often has more than one weak point after decades of London weather.
Chelsea's Georgian terraces, Victorian mansion blocks and mews properties each need a different roof covering. These are the systems we install and repair most often across SW3, and the property types they suit.
Not sure which applies to your roof? We confirm the right system for your property during the free inspection, taking into account the existing structure and whether the property is listed or sits within the Cheyne Conservation Area.
Every job is priced after a free, no obligation on site inspection, since roofs in Chelsea vary too much for a fixed price list to be meaningful. The main factors we take into account when pricing a job are set out below, so you know what to expect before you book an inspection.
We do not quote over the phone, since giving a figure before seeing the roof would not be accurate. Call 020 3633 8101 for a written quote after a free inspection, with no call out charge for the visit.
The process is the same whether the job is a single slipped slate or a full lead parapet re-line, so you know what to expect before we arrive.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form with your postcode and a description of the issue.
We inspect the roof, checking whether the property is listed or sits within a conservation area, and provide a clear quote before any work begins.
Our roofer completes the agreed work, matching slate, lead or tile to the existing roof where the job is a repair.
You receive a written summary of the work completed along with any maintenance advice, such as when a box gutter is next due for clearance.
Sprayed polyurethane foam applied to the underside of the rafters is now a common reason a sale falls through on a Chelsea property or a lender declines a mortgage. Since 2023 many surveyors and lenders treat sprayed foam as a defect, because it hides the roof timbers from inspection and can trap moisture against the battens and rafters.
We remove open-cell and closed-cell spray foam from pitched roofs across Chelsea SW3 and SW10 by hand, strip back any affected felt and battens, and leave the roof space clear for a RICS surveyor to inspect. Where the slate covering is sound it stays in place. Where the foam has bonded to the underside of the covering and pulls it apart on removal, we quote to re-roof at the same time so it is one project rather than two.
King's Road and the streets around it have a number of red-brick mansion blocks with large communal asphalt or felt flat roofs, alongside period conversions in Chelsea Square and towards World's End. We work with managing agents, residents' management companies and freeholders on flat roof renewal, parapet gutter work and cyclical maintenance, including where listed building or conservation area consent applies. We provide a written scope and costings suitable for a Section 20 leaseholder consultation, and can attend a directors' or residents' meeting to talk through the options and timing.
The photographs below show completed roofing work by our team on the property types found across Chelsea: lead flat roofs, parapet gutters, Georgian terraces and chimney stacks.
As roofers in Chelsea SW3, we work from Chiswick High Road as part of our wider roofing company covering West London. We treat listed building status and conservation area consent as a routine part of the inspection here, given how much of SW3 falls within RBKC's designations. You can read more about the team on our about us page.
Our roofers are directly employed, not subcontracted, so the team that quotes your Chelsea job is the team that carries it out. We specify lead and slate to match existing detailing on Georgian terraces rather than defaulting to a modern substitute that would look wrong or risk a listed building issue.

Chelsea is a newer coverage area for us and we are building our review base in SW3. The feedback customers leave most often is that the quote matched the final invoice, lead and slate were matched carefully to listed detailing, and the roof and the street were left clean at the end of the job.
We cover every part of Chelsea and the wider SW3 and SW10 postcodes. Our roofers work directly for Property Restoration Services, we are not a franchise or a booking platform passing your job to a third party roofer.

The questions below cover what Chelsea customers ask us most often.
We aim to carry out an on site assessment within two working days for standard repairs across Chelsea SW3 and SW10. For storm damage or an active leak we offer emergency callout and try to attend the same day. Our base is on Chiswick High Road, a straightforward journey to Chelsea. Once we have inspected the roof we confirm a schedule for any follow up work, so you know when the job will be completed.
We cover Cheyne Walk, Chelsea Square, King's Road and the streets around the Royal Hospital Chelsea, across SW3 and into SW10 towards World's End. We also cover the neighbouring areas of South Kensington in SW7 and Pimlico in SW1, so a job near a postcode boundary is not a problem. Our roofers are based on Chiswick High Road and travel out to Chelsea for every job, we do not subcontract Chelsea work to a third party roofer working under our name.
We do not publish a fixed price list, because roofs in Chelsea vary too much for a general figure to be meaningful or fair. See our cost factors guide above for what affects the price. Every job is priced after a free, no obligation on site inspection, and you receive a written quote before any work begins, with no call out charge for the inspection visit.
We carry out a free, no obligation inspection before providing a quote, which for a Cheyne Walk or Chelsea Square property includes checking whether it is individually listed or within a conservation area boundary. 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 Chelsea coverage area.
Once you accept a quote we agree a date and confirm what access is needed, whether that is a roof ladder, a tower or a scaffold. Our roofer carries out the agreed work, matching slate, lead or tile to the existing roof where the job is a repair rather than a full replacement. Once the work is finished you receive a written summary of what was done, along with any maintenance advice.
On the Georgian terraces of Cheyne Walk and Chelsea Square, the most common issues are split lead laps in flat roofs and box gutters, and cracked parapet copings letting water into the party wall, both made worse by riverside wind exposure on Cheyne Walk. We also see slipped Welsh slate from nail fatigue and cracked chimney flaunching. On King's Road mansion blocks, communal asphalt or felt roofing reaching the end of its service life is a recurring job.
Yes, this is one of the jobs we do most in Chelsea. We repair and re-line lead flat roofs, box gutters and parapets on the Georgian terraces of Cheyne Walk and Chelsea Square, matching Code 4 or Code 5 lead detailing to what already exists. We check whether listed building consent is likely to be needed before assuming a repair is straightforward, since a high proportion of Chelsea's SW3 housing stock is individually listed.
Quite possibly. Conservation areas cover roughly 70 to 73 percent of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, with a high concentration of listed buildings in SW3, and Cheyne Walk sits within its own Cheyne Conservation Area. Like for like repairs are often permitted, but re-covering a roof in a different material, adding a rooflight, or altering a chimney can need listed building consent. We flag anything that may need consent during the inspection and point you to RBKC's conservation area guidance before work is booked.
Yes. We hand-strip open-cell and closed-cell spray foam from pitched roofs across Chelsea SW3 and SW10, clear the roof space so a RICS surveyor can inspect the timbers, and provide a written record for a lender or buyer. If the foam has bonded to the underside of the slate and the covering cannot be saved, we quote to re-roof at the same time so it is handled as one project.
Yes. King's Road and the surrounding streets have a number of red-brick mansion blocks with large communal flat roofs. We provide a written scope and costings suitable for a Section 20 leaseholder consultation, carry out condition surveys and budget costings for reserve-fund planning, and can attend a directors' or residents' meeting to talk through the options, including where listed building consent applies to the block.
Both, depending on which stretch. The eastern part of Cheyne Walk is in SW3, while the western stretch past Beaufort Street sits in SW10. We cover both, so if you are unsure which postcode applies to your address, it does not affect whether we can attend or quote for the job.
Isolated slate repairs can sometimes be done from a roof ladder or a tower. Lead flat roof and parapet work on a Georgian terrace usually needs a scaffold for safe access. We confirm the access method during the inspection, plan a scaffold to minimise how long it is up, and check parking and any permit requirements with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in advance so the job can start on the date agreed.
Yes. We carry out roof condition inspections for buyers ahead of a purchase, covering lead, slate and tile condition, flashings, box gutters and any signs of water ingress, with a written report provided afterward. This is a particularly useful check on a listed Georgian terrace, where the true condition and age of the roof covering behind an attractive facade can be hard to judge without getting up to look.
