Property Restoration Services London Ltd are roofers in Streatham SW16, working across a corner of the London Borough of Lambeth with an unusually varied roofscape: the deliberately individual Queen Anne villas of the Telford Park conservation area, the long Victorian and Edwardian shop-and-flat parades of Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill, the large detached houses near Leigham Court Road and Streatham Common, and the plainer 1930s semis of Streatham Vale. Streatham is a core part of our South London coverage, worked alongside Tooting, Balham and Norbury. Most enquiries are seen within two working days, with emergency callout for storm damage and active leaks.
Property Restoration Services London Ltd is a roofing company based on Chiswick High Road covering Streatham SW16, including Streatham Hill, Streatham Common, Streatham Vale, Leigham Court Road and the Telford Park conservation area. The team carries out roof repairs on the Queen Anne villas of Telford Park, slate and tile work on the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Leigham Court Road, flat roof renewal above the shops and flats of Streatham High Road, chimney repointing and leadwork, GRP and EPDM flat roofing, and emergency callout. Streatham's roofscape runs from E.J. Tarver's deliberately varied Queen Anne houses to the plainer 1930s semis of Streatham Vale, so the inspection and the quote are matched to the property rather than run off a template. Standard repairs are assessed on site within two working days, with same day inspection for storm damage and active leaks. All roofing work carries a ten year insurance-backed guarantee, and public liability cover runs to 2 million pounds, 5 million for commercial and block work. Quotes follow a free, no obligation inspection. Call 020 3633 8101.
Few corners of south London pack as much architectural variety into as small an area as Streatham does. Laid out between 1878 and 1882 by the architect E.J. Tarver along Criffel Avenue, Killieser Avenue, Telford Road and parts of Kirkstall Road and Thornton Avenue, the Telford Park conservation area was built so that no two houses were identical: a run of steep gables, dormer windows, decorative ridge tiles and patterned chimney stacks, with the occasional corner turret, that still sets the estate apart. It was designated a conservation area in 1994, and the lawn tennis club within it, opened in 1880, is the second oldest in England after Wimbledon.
A few streets away, Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill carry one of the longest continuous shopping parades in south London, a late Victorian and Edwardian run of three and four storey buildings with shops below and flats above, each with its own flat roof behind a parapet. The 1930s added Art Deco landmarks to the same road, including the Grade II listed former Odeon cinema, with their own stepped parapets and flat roof decks. This stretch carries its own conservation area designation covering both periods.
Leigham Court Road, split into northern and southern conservation areas, carries large detached Victorian and Edwardian villas on a wide, tree lined road, and similar large houses stand near Streatham Common itself, 70 acres of historic common land managed by Lambeth Council. Streatham Park and Garrads Road cover a longer stretch of suburban development running from the 1880s through to the inter-war years, while Streatham Vale and Pollards Hill, towards the Norbury border, are mostly plainer 1930s semis with hipped clay or concrete tile roofs.
Streatham sits within the London Borough of Lambeth, which governs planning consent in the conservation areas, scaffold licences and the controlled-parking bay suspensions needed to work on the busier streets, while Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill, as part of the A23, are also managed by Transport for London as a red route.
From decorative ridge tiles and dormer leadwork in Telford Park to flat roof renewal above the Streatham High Road parades, we cover the full range of roofing work typical of SW16. Every job starts with an on site assessment before any quote is given.
Repair of the steep gables, dormer cheeks, decorative ridge tiles, patterned chimney stacks and the occasional turret that make every Telford Park house different, kept to the original profile.
Slate and valley gutter repairs on the terraces and large villas around Leigham Court Road and Streatham Common, where the roof is often bigger and more complex than the frontage suggests.
GRP and EPDM rubber for rear extensions and loft dormers, and felt, asphalt and single-ply renewal on the flat roofs above the Streatham High Road shops and flats.
Repointing, flaunching, soakers and flashings on the shared stacks of Telford Park and Leigham Court Road, plus Code 4 to Code 6 lead to dormers, turrets and flats.
Same day callout for storm damage, slipped slates and overflowing parapet gutters across SW16, with temporary weatherproofing until a full repair is scheduled.
Cast iron and aluminium rainwater goods, parapet outlets and hopper heads, plus clearance of the leaf and grit build up that is heavy along the A23 corridor.
Telford Park is Streatham's best known conservation area, a development of suburban houses laid out between 1878 and 1882 along Criffel Avenue, Killieser Avenue, Telford Road and parts of Kirkstall Road and Thornton Avenue. The architect, E.J. Tarver, made a point of ensuring no two houses on the estate were identical, so the roofline along any one of these streets is a run of steep gables, dormer windows, decorative ridge tiles and tall patterned chimney stacks, with the occasional corner turret carrying its own small lead or slate roof. None of the houses is individually listed, but together they are considered special enough to have been a conservation area since 1994.
On a Telford Park roof we survey the whole elevation, not just the reported leak: the gable valleys, the lead to dormer cheeks and turret roofs, the ridge tiles and finials, and the flashings around the chimney stacks, several of which sit across the party wall and serve both houses in a pair. We re-bed or replace ridge tiles to match the original pattern, re-dress lead to turrets and dormers to the correct code rather than patch with mastic, and keep bargeboards and coping to their original profile, since any change in the conservation area needs consent from the London Borough of Lambeth.
Running from Streatham Hill down through the High Road to Streatham Vale, the A23 carries one of the longest continuous shopping parades in south London: three and four storey Victorian and Edwardian buildings with shops at street level and flats above, each with a flat roof behind a parapet. Most were covered in felt or asphalt decades ago, and on a lot of the parade that covering has now perished, split at the laps or pulled away from the parapet upstand. The 1930s brought Art Deco landmarks to the same stretch, including the Grade II listed former Odeon cinema, with their own stepped parapets and flat roof decks. Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill carry their own conservation area designation covering both periods.
Renewing a flat roof above a shop is rarely a simple like for like job. Access is usually through the flat above or a rear yard shared with neighbouring units, the parapet gutters that run the length of the parade need clearing and relining before they overflow onto the shopfront below, and the work has to be phased around trading hours so the businesses underneath can stay open. We fit GRP, EPDM or single-ply membrane depending on the deck and the access, and check the full parapet run rather than just the reported leak.
Streatham's roofs run from E.J. Tarver's Queen Anne villas to Victorian terraces, Art Deco parades and 1930s semis, and each needs a different covering. These are the systems we install and repair most often across SW16, and the property types they suit.
Not sure which applies to your roof? We confirm the right system during the free inspection, taking account of the roof structure, the pitch, and whether the street sits in one of Streatham's conservation areas.
Every job is priced after a free, no obligation on site inspection, but the general guide below gives Streatham homeowners and leaseholders a starting point for budgeting before that visit.

These figures are a general guide only. Telford Park villas with multiple gables, dormers and turrets, and flat roof renewals above the High Road parades, are quoted after a full survey and can fall well outside a standard range. Call 020 3633 8101 for a written quote after inspection, with no call out charge for the visit.

The process is the same whether the job is a single slipped slate on a Streatham Vale semi or a full flat roof renewal above a High Road shop, 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 survey the whole roof, including gables, dormers, turrets, stacks and any flat roof deck, and provide a clear quote before any work begins.
Our roofer completes the agreed work, matching slate, lead and mortar 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 parapet outlet is next due for clearance.
Sprayed polyurethane foam under the slates turns up across SW16. On the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Leigham Court Road and Streatham Common it is usually a loft conversion where foam went onto the sloping ceiling; above the High Road shops it sometimes covers a whole flat converted from storage space. Either way, since 2023 most mortgage lenders and RICS surveyors record it as a defect, because the foam hides the rafters and can hold moisture against the timber, and a sale or remortgage stalls until it is dealt with.
We strip open-cell and closed-cell foam off pitched roofs across Streatham by hand, working the bonded felt and any softened battens off with it, and leave the rafters clear for a surveyor to sign off. Sound slate is re-used. Where the foam has fused to the back of the slate and will not come away in one piece, we set out a re-slate cost alongside the strip-out so the roof is opened up, cleared and re-covered on a single scaffold.
Streatham has a large stock of communal roofs: the purpose built mansion blocks along Streatham Hill, converted villas split into flats near Leigham Court Road and Streatham Common, and the mixed use parades along Streatham High Road where flats sit above shops under separate leases. For managing agents, residents' management companies and freeholders we cost flat roof renewal, parapet work and rolling maintenance, put the specification into a form that carries a Section 20 leaseholder consultation, and will sit in on a directors' or residents' meeting to talk the leaseholders through the options and the disruption.
The photographs below show completed roofing work by our team on the property types found across Streatham and SW16: dormer and turret leadwork, slate roofs, chimney stacks, parapet flat roofs and gutters.
As roofers in Streatham SW16, we work from Chiswick High Road, and Streatham is a core part of our South London coverage, worked on the same round as Tooting, Balham and Norbury. We route in via the A23 or Mitcham Lane and plan Streatham visits and material deliveries around it.
Our roofers are directly employed, not subcontracted, so the team that quotes your Streatham job carries it out. We are used to both ends of the borough's roof stock, from the decorative Queen Anne villas of Telford Park to the flat roofs above the High Road parades, and we plan scaffold licences and parking suspensions with Lambeth Council and, on the A23, Transport for London, as part of the job.

Streatham is a core part of our South London round, worked alongside Tooting, Balham and Norbury, and we are adding area-tagged reviews for SW16 as jobs complete. The points customers raise most often are that the quote matched the final invoice, the whole roof was surveyed rather than just the reported leak, and the scaffold and the street were left tidy.
We cover every part of Streatham and the wider SW16 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 Streatham Hill, Streatham Common and Streatham Vale within SW16, along with Tooting, Balham and Norbury nearby. We aim to carry out an on site assessment within two working days for standard repairs, and offer emergency callout for storm damage and active leaks. Every SW16 postcode is covered, including the Queen Anne villas of Telford Park, the large houses near Leigham Court Road, the shop and flat parades of Streatham High Road, and the 1930s semis of Streatham Vale and Pollards Hill. On the Telford Park villas we survey every gable, dormer, turret and stack rather than only the section reported as leaking, because on a roof with this many junctions the fault is often well away from the stain. Quotes are provided after inspection, with no call out charge for the initial visit anywhere within our SW16 coverage area.
Alongside Streatham we cover the following nearby areas.

We aim to carry out an on site assessment within two working days for standard repairs across Streatham and the rest of SW16. For storm damage or an active leak we offer emergency callout and try to attend the same day. Streatham is a core part of our South London round, worked alongside Tooting, Balham and Norbury, so it is planned for rather than treated as an outlying area. Once we have inspected the roof we confirm a schedule for any follow up work, so you know when the job will be finished.
We cover every street in Streatham and the full SW16 postcode, from the Queen Anne villas of Telford Park and the large houses near Leigham Court Road and Streatham Common to the shop and flat parades along Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill, and the plainer 1930s semis of Streatham Vale and Pollards Hill. We also cover Tooting in SW17, Balham in SW12 and Norbury nearby in SW16, so a job near a postcode boundary is not a problem. Our roofers travel out to SW16 for every job, we do not subcontract Streatham work to a third party roofer working under our name.
Telford Park's houses were laid out between 1878 and 1882 by the architect E.J. Tarver, who deliberately made sure no two houses on the estate were identical, so each roof has its own mix of steep gables, dormer windows, decorative ridge tiles and tall patterned chimney stacks, with the occasional corner turret. A leak usually starts at one of the junctions between these features, a dormer cheek, a valley where a gable meets the main roof, or the lead around a turret, and the water then tracks along the timbers before it shows on a ceiling. This is why we survey the whole roof rather than just the room under the stain before quoting.
As a general guide, minor repairs such as a slipped slate or single ridge tile typically run £150 to £350, emergency temporary weatherproofing from £200, hip and ridge re-bedding £350 to £900 or more per run, dormer or turret lead renewal £650 to £1,800 or more, and a flat roof renewal above a High Road shop or flat £1,200 to £3,500 or more depending on size. Flat roof or chimney repairs elsewhere run £400 to £1,500 or more, and a full pitched roof replacement around £260 to £290 per square metre plus scaffolding. See our cost guide table above. Telford Park villas with turrets and multiple gables are quoted only after a full survey, because the number of junctions changes the figure significantly.
Yes. Much of Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill is three and four storey Victorian and Edwardian parades with shops at street level and flats above, each with its own flat roof behind a parapet, usually old felt or asphalt that has perished or split. We renew these in GRP, EPDM or single-ply membrane, clear and reline the parapet gutters that often overflow onto the shopfront below, and phase the work around trading hours since access is usually from a rear yard or through the flat above. The Grade II listed former Odeon and the other Art Deco buildings nearer Streatham Vale bring similar flat roof decks behind stepped parapets.
Yes. Streatham has several conservation areas, including Telford Park, Leigham Court Road North and South, Streatham Common, Streatham Park and Garrads Road, Streatham Lodge and Sunnyhill Road. On those streets we work to like-for-like repair: matched natural slate rather than concrete tile, ridge tiles, bargeboards and chimney detailing kept to the original profile, and cast iron rainwater goods repaired rather than replaced with plastic. Where a change needs consent we prepare the scope so it can go to the London Borough of Lambeth before work starts.
We carry out a free, no obligation inspection before providing a quote. On a Streatham Vale semi that is a short visit; on a Telford Park villa it means checking every gable, dormer, turret and chimney, because that is where the faults are. 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 SW16, whether the job is a single slipped slate or a full flat roof renewal above a shop. We give you a realistic idea of timing at the point of quoting rather than leaving you to chase for a start date.
Once you accept a quote we agree a date and confirm what access is needed. On the High Road parades that often means access from a rear yard or through the flat above the shop; on the villa streets it can mean a scaffold with a licence and a controlled-parking bay suspension from Lambeth Council, which we arrange before we start. Our roofer carries out the agreed work and, on a repair, matches the new slate, lead and mortar to what is already on the roof. Once finished you receive a written summary of what was done and any maintenance advice.
Many of the Telford Park villas share a chimney stack across the party wall, in keeping with the semi-detached pairs E.J. Tarver designed. Responsibility for a shared stack is usually split between the two owners, or set out in the title deeds, and the flashings on each side serve that side's roof. How it is split differs from house to house and we cannot confirm it without seeing the deeds. We identify exactly which flashings and which part of the stack the fault sits in during the inspection, which is useful if a conversation with a neighbour is needed. Where the repair means working on the shared structure itself, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 may apply.
Yes, this is one of the most common jobs we do in Telford Park. The decorative ridge tiles and finials on these roofs slip or crack with age, and the lead around dormer cheeks, turret roofs and the valleys where a gable meets the main slope fatigues at the laps and joints. We re-bed or replace ridge tiles to match, and re-dress or renew the lead to the correct code rather than patching with mastic, keeping the original profile since the estate is a conservation area. We check the full roof during the same visit, because on a house with this many junctions the fault is often away from where the stain shows.
Yes. It turns up in loft conversions on the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Leigham Court Road and Streatham Common, and in flats converted from the rooms above the High Road shops, and in both cases it tends to stall a sale or a remortgage because surveyors and lenders record sprayed foam as a defect. We hand strip open-cell and closed-cell foam off the rafters and slate backs, lift out any felt and battens that come away with it, and leave the roof space open for a surveyor to inspect, with a written record for the lender. If the foam has fused to the back of the slate we quote the re-slate alongside the strip-out so it is one scaffold and one visit.
Most like for like repairs do not need planning permission. Work that changes the roofline, adds rooflights or dormers to a front-facing slope, sits within a conservation area such as Telford Park or Leigham Court Road, or alters a listed building such as the former Odeon, is more likely to need consent, and on a flat above a shop you will usually also need the freeholder's permission regardless of planning. We flag anything that may need consent during the inspection so you can check with the London Borough of Lambeth before proceeding, rather than assuming a straightforward repair and finding out otherwise once the job has started.
Yes. Between the purpose built mansion blocks on Streatham Hill, the converted villas split into flats near Leigham Court Road and Streatham Common, and the mixed use parades along Streatham High Road, a lot of our SW16 work is communal. We write the specification and costings so they carry a Section 20 leaseholder consultation, produce condition reports and reserve-fund figures for forward planning, and will attend a directors' or residents' meeting. Flat roof renewal, parapet work and rolling maintenance on communal roofs are routine for us across the borough.
Isolated slate or ridge repairs on a semi or a terrace can often be done from a roof ladder or a tower. Turret, dormer, gable valley and shared-stack work on the Telford Park villas, and most flat roof renewals above the High Road shops, need a scaffold for safe access. On Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill, as part of the A23, that also means a scaffold licence and a controlled-parking bay suspension from Lambeth Council and Transport for London, which we arrange before we start. We plan the scaffold to be up for the shortest time possible and check rear access and neighbour agreements where it has to bridge two properties.
Yes. We inspect roofs for buyers before exchange and for owners scoping a loft conversion who need to know what the existing roof is like before the drawings are done. On a Telford Park villa the survey covers the gables, dormers, turret lead, chimney stacks and any signs of water ingress; on a High Road flat it covers the flat roof deck, the parapet gutters and the flashings to neighbouring properties. A written report follows, which is useful evidence for a buyer negotiating or for an architect planning the roofing element of a conversion.
