Property Restoration Services London Ltd are roofers in Belgravia SW1 carrying out roof repairs, new roof installations and leadwork on the area's stucco fronted terraces and mews properties. We are based on Chiswick High Road and cover SW1 alongside the rest of West and Southwest London. Most Belgravia enquiries are seen within two working days, with emergency callout available for storm damage and active leaks.
Belgravia is one of London's largest surviving Regency era estates, built mainly in the 1820s to 1850s around Belgrave Square and Eaton Square. The area is almost entirely stucco fronted terraces with slate pitched roofs, parapet gutters and a high proportion of Grade II and Grade II star listed buildings. Roof work here usually needs to match existing slate, lead flashing and parapet detailing rather than substitute modern materials, since alterations that change the roofline can affect a listed building's appearance.
Many of the terraces around Chester Square and Eaton Square share continuous roofs and hidden valley gutters between neighbouring properties, so a blocked or damaged section on one house can show up as a leak in the property next door. We repair and replace slate roofing, parapet gutters and lead flashing using materials that match the original, and we are used to working carefully around communal roof access on terraced rows.
We cover the full range of roofing work found across Belgravia's terraces and mews properties, from slate repairs on listed buildings to flat roofing on rear extensions. Every job starts with an on site assessment before any quote is given.
Repairs to slipped or cracked slate on the pitched terrace roofs common across Belgrave Square and Eaton Square, matched to the existing slate where possible.
Flat roof replacement and repair for Belgravia's converted mews houses and rear extensions, where low pitch and flat sections are common.
Repair and renewal of lead flashing and the shared parapet gutters that run between Belgravia's terraced roofs, a frequent source of hidden leaks.
Repointing and repair of the chimney stacks common on Belgravia's period terraces, including flashing renewal where stacks meet the roofline.
Emergency callout for storm damage, slipped slate and active leaks across Belgravia, with temporary weatherproofing carried out on the day where needed.
Routine roof and gutter clearance for Belgravia terraces, reducing the risk of blocked parapet gutters causing water to track into the roof void.
Slate repair is the most requested service in Belgravia, given how much of the area is built as continuous pitched terraces from the Regency period. Work usually involves replacing individual slipped or cracked slates, renewing lead soakers and valleys, and checking the parapet gutter behind the roofline where most hidden leaks start.
Because many of these buildings are listed, we match slate size, colour and fixing method to the existing roof rather than defaulting to a modern substitute, and we can provide a written scope of works if your managing agent or freeholder needs to sign off the job before it starts.
The process is the same whether the job is a single slipped slate or a full parapet gutter renewal, so you know what to expect before we arrive.

We aim to carry out an on site assessment within two working days for standard repairs across Belgravia and the rest of SW1. For storm damage or an active leak we offer emergency callout and try to attend the same day. Response time can vary slightly during periods of severe weather when demand across London increases, but Belgravia is a core part of our coverage area and is not treated as a lower priority than areas closer to our Chiswick base.
Yes. A large proportion of Belgravia is Grade II or Grade II star listed, and we regularly repair slate roofs, lead flashing and parapet gutters on these properties using matching materials rather than modern substitutes. We can provide a written scope of works ahead of the job if your freeholder or managing agent needs to approve the work first. This is a routine requirement for much of our Belgravia workload, not an unusual request.
The most common issues are slipped or cracked slate, split lead valleys, and blocked parapet gutters that allow water to track into the roof void rather than draining away. Many Belgravia terraces share a continuous roof with their neighbours, so a problem on one property can affect the one next door. We inspect the shared sections during any visit so a partial repair does not leave a related issue untreated.
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. 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 SW1 coverage area.
Most like for like repairs do not require planning permission, but Belgravia's listed status means alterations that change the appearance of the roof, such as adding rooflights or altering the roofline, are more likely to need listed building consent. We flag anything that may need consent during the inspection so you can check with Westminster City Council's listed building consent guidance before work proceeds, rather than assuming a repair is exempt.
We regularly work on the terraces around Belgrave Square, Eaton Square, Chester Square and Ebury Street, along with the mews properties tucked behind the main squares. The shared parapet gutter design used across most of these streets means leaks often appear as a single damp patch inside, even when the fault is further along the shared gutter run rather than directly overhead.
Yes. We carry out roof condition inspections for homeowners, buyers and managing agents who need a clear picture of a roof's condition before completing a purchase or renewing a lease. The inspection covers slate condition, flashing, parapet gutters and any visible signs of water ingress, with a written report provided afterward. This is a common request in Belgravia given the age and value of the properties.
This depends on the freehold and lease arrangements for the specific building, and can vary street by street in Belgravia. Many shared parapet gutters are a joint responsibility between neighbouring freeholders or covered under a management company's remit. 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 section proceeds.
A recurring leak usually means the original repair only addressed the visible symptom rather than the underlying cause, commonly a blocked section of parapet gutter further along the run, or a second failure point in the lead flashing that was not inspected the first time. We check the full length of any shared gutter and the surrounding flashing during a repair, rather than only patching the exact spot where water was seen coming through.
Many repairs on Belgravia's terraces can be carried out using a tower or ladder access rather than full scaffolding, particularly for isolated slate replacement or flashing repair. Larger jobs, such as full parapet gutter renewal or extensive slate work, 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.
