— Why Wandsworth
What we see on Wandsworth roofs.
Tooting, Balham, Clapham, Battersea and Earlsfield are dense with three- and four-storey Victorian terraces — typically slate roofs hidden behind brick parapets, with internal valley gutters and lead-lined box gutters between properties. The recurring issues across SW11–SW18 are failed parapet flashings, leaking box gutters, and tired felt roofs on the rear closet-wing extensions that almost every Wandsworth terrace has.
Wandsworth's terraces were built between 1860 and 1900 in London stock brick with parapet front walls, hidden slate roofs and lead-lined box gutters carrying water between neighbouring properties. The classic failure is the lead box gutter — original Victorian lead is often Code 3 and now perforated by acid rain. We replace in Code 5 with welted joints to handle the wider movement of a long London terrace. Closet-wing flat roofs are usually tired three-layer felt and are best stripped and replaced with EPDM single-ply.
