— Why Wimbledon
What we see on Wimbledon roofs.
Wimbledon Village and the streets around the Common are wrapped in some of South West London's best-preserved Edwardian and Arts-and-Crafts housing — handmade clay tile, complex hipped roofs, ornate ridge cresting and elaborate leadwork. Much of SW19 falls inside conservation areas (Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon West, Wimbledon Park) with strict materials requirements. Our work here is overwhelmingly heritage-grade repair and like-for-like re-roofing.
The big Wimbledon Village houses are typically 1895–1915, with hand-made red clay tile (often Tudor Roof Tile or Keymer), oak peg laths and Code 4 leadwork on the catslide hips and bonnet tiles. The classic failure points are nail-fatigue tile slips, lichen-fouled ridge cresting, and the lead bonnet hips on the curved Arts-and-Crafts hips. Like-for-like replacement using salvaged tiles is mandatory in the Wimbledon Village conservation area — we work with three local reclaim yards.

— Wimbledon FAQs
Common Wimbledon questions.
Will Merton Council let you re-roof in concrete tile?
Inside Wimbledon Village, Wimbledon West and Wimbledon Park conservation areas — almost never. We re-roof like-for-like in hand-made clay or natural slate, and we prepare the specification documents to satisfy the conservation officer before work starts.
Can you source matching Edwardian clay tiles?
Yes. We work with three reclaim yards across SW London and Surrey, and with Keymer and Tudor Roof Tile for like-for-like new manufacture when reclaim isn't available in volume.
