Battersea's SW11 postcode is dominated by Victorian terraces, and nowhere more so than the streets around Northcote Road, an area nicknamed "Nappy Valley" for the number of young families who have bought and extended these bay-fronted houses over the past two decades. The typical project here is a side-return or rear extension with a flat roof, often combined with a loft conversion and rear dormer, so the roof of a Northcote Road terrace is frequently a patchwork of the original pitched slate roof at the front and one or more added flat roofs at the rear, each with its own junctions and upstands that need to be detailed correctly against the original brickwork.
West of Lavender Hill, the Shaftesbury Park Estate is a different kind of housing entirely: built from 1873 by the Artisans, Labourers and General Dwellings Company as one of London's earliest purpose-built working-class housing estates, with Gothic-influenced polychrome brick cottages, decorative bargeboards and steep gabled roofs. Wandsworth Council protects it as a conservation area with an Article 4 direction, which brings roof and external material changes under closer council control than on a typical Battersea street.
Closer to Battersea Park and Battersea Square, the housing is a mix of grander stucco terraces and smaller cottages, with the redevelopment around Battersea Power Station further east adding large modern residential blocks with flat roofs and plant decks, though that immediate area is closer to our Nine Elms coverage.
From rear-extension flat roofs on Northcote Road terraces to gabled roof repairs on the Shaftesbury Park Estate, we cover the full range of roofing work typical of SW11. Every job starts with an on site assessment before any quote is given.

Rainwater goods, hopper heads and gutter clearance, particularly where a rear extension roof drains into an original gutter run.
Northcote Road's nickname reflects two decades of young families buying and extending its Victorian terraces, and the roofing consequence is that a huge number of SW11 houses now have a flat roof extension, or several, added to the rear of an original pitched slate roof. The most common fault we find is not the flat roof membrane itself failing, but the junction where the new flat roof meets the original wall or roof slope: a poorly detailed upstand, a missing or undersized flashing, or a step in level that was never properly weathered. Water gets in at that junction and tracks along a joist before showing as a stain, often some distance from where the actual leak is.
A second, distinct problem exists a short walk away on the Shaftesbury Park Estate, where the original 1870s cottages have decorative gabled roofs with ornamental bargeboards, now over 150 years old in places, where wind and rot cause bargeboards to split and slip rather than the roof covering itself failing first.
Battersea's terraces, extensions and the Shaftesbury Park Estate each need a different roof covering. These are the systems we install and repair most often across SW11, 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 sits within the Shaftesbury Park Estate Conservation Area.
Every job is priced after a free, no obligation on site inspection, since roofs in Battersea 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 extension flat roof re-covering, 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 every extension roof junction against the original structure, and provide a clear quote before any work begins.
Our roofer completes the agreed work, matching slate, tile or membrane 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 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 Battersea terrace 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 Battersea and SW11 by hand, strip back any affected felt and battens, and leave the roof space clear for a RICS surveyor to inspect. Where the slate or tile 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.
Battersea has a number of purpose-built and converted blocks, particularly around Lavender Hill and towards Clapham Junction, with communal flat roofs. We work with managing agents, residents' management companies and freeholders on flat roof renewal, gutter work and cyclical maintenance. 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.

As roofers in Battersea SW11, we work from Chiswick High Road as part of our wider roofing company covering South West London, with our Wandsworth roofing team covering the neighbouring SW18 patch. We are used to the extension roof junctions that define so much of Northcote Road's housing stock, and we check them properly rather than assuming the membrane itself is always the fault. 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 Battersea job is the team that carries it out. On the Shaftesbury Park Estate we check whether a repair falls under the conservation area's Article 4 direction before quoting materials, so there are no surprises about consent once work has started.

Battersea is a newer coverage area for us and we are building our review base in SW11. The feedback customers leave most often is that the quote matched the final invoice, the extension roof junction was checked properly rather than just re-covered, and the roof and the ground were left clean at the end of the job.
We cover every part of Battersea and the wider SW11 postcode. 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.
Property Restoration Services London Ltd covers Battersea, Northcote Road and Clapham Junction within SW11, along with Wandsworth and Clapham nearby.

Every SW11 postcode is covered, including the Shaftesbury Park Estate and the streets around Battersea Park. Because so many Battersea terraces now carry a rear extension flat roof, we check the junction with the original structure rather than assuming the membrane alone is the fault. Quotes are provided after inspection, with no call out charge for the initial visit anywhere within our SW11 coverage area.

We aim to carry out an on site assessment within two working days for standard repairs across Battersea and the rest of SW11. 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 SW11. 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 every street in Battersea and the full SW11 postcode area, from Northcote Road and Clapham Junction to the Shaftesbury Park Estate, Lavender Hill and Battersea Park. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Wandsworth in SW18 and Clapham in SW4, so a job near a postcode boundary is not a problem. Our roofers are based on Chiswick High Road and travel out to SW11 for every job, we do not subcontract Battersea work to a third party roofer working under our name.
We do not publish a fixed price list, because roofs in Battersea 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 on a Battersea terrace with a rear extension means checking the junction between the extension roof and the original structure, not just the membrane in isolation. 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 SW11.
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, tile or membrane 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.
Around Northcote Road, the most common issue is a poorly detailed junction between a rear extension flat roof and the original wall, letting water track along a joist before it shows as a stain. GRP and felt extension roofs also perish at upstands after 15 to 20 years. On the Shaftesbury Park Estate cottages we see split or rotten decorative bargeboards. Elsewhere in SW11, slipped Welsh slate from nail fatigue and cracked chimney flaunching are the routine calls, along with gutters overloaded where an extension roof discharges into an original run.
Yes, this is one of the jobs we do most in Battersea. Rather than assuming the flat roof membrane itself has failed, we check the junction between the extension roof and the original wall or roof slope first, since a poorly detailed upstand or flashing at that junction is the most common cause of a leak on Northcote Road's extended terraces. We re-cover in GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber as needed, and correct the junction detailing at the same time so the same fault does not recur.
Yes. The Shaftesbury Park Estate's Gothic-influenced cottages have decorative gabled roofs and ornamental bargeboards, now over 150 years old in places. We repair split or rotten bargeboards, re-bed slipped ridge and hip tiles, and match materials to the conservation area's requirements. We check whether a given repair falls under the Article 4 direction before quoting so there are no surprises about consent.
More often than on a typical Battersea street. The Shaftesbury Park Estate Conservation Area carries an Article 4 direction that brings certain external changes, including some roof and material alterations, under closer council control than would otherwise apply. We identify this during the inspection and point you to Wandsworth Council's Shaftesbury Park Estate guidance before work is booked.
Yes. We hand-strip open-cell and closed-cell spray foam from pitched roofs across Battersea and SW11, 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 or tile and the covering cannot be saved, we quote to re-roof at the same time so it is handled as one project.
Yes. Battersea has a number of purpose-built and converted blocks, particularly around Lavender Hill and towards Clapham Junction. 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.
Isolated slate or ridge tile repairs can often be done from a roof ladder or a tower. Larger flat roof re-coverings and junction repairs on extended terraces usually need 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 Wandsworth Council in advance so the job can start on the date agreed.
Yes. We carry out roof condition inspections for buyers ahead of a purchase, and for homeowners planning a rear extension or loft conversion who need to know the state of the existing roof before design work begins. The survey covers slate and tile condition, any existing extension roof junctions, flashings and any signs of water ingress, with a written report provided afterward. This is a common request in Battersea given how many Northcote Road terraces have already been extended.
