Two Very Different Battersea Skylines

Battersea Power Station and the towers around Nine Elms get most of the attention, and it's genuinely one of the biggest redevelopments London has seen in years. But most of Battersea, the streets around Battersea Park, Clapham Junction, and Queenstown Road, is still classic Victorian terraced housing, built long before any of that regeneration started.

My name's John Quilligan. Roofing has been in my family for three generations, and our work in Battersea is almost entirely on this older housing stock, not the new-build towers.

That's worth being upfront about: a brand new flat in one of the Power Station developments is typically still covered by an NHBC or similar 10-year new-build warranty, and roofing issues on those buildings usually go through the developer or managing agent, not an independent roofer. If you're in one of the area's original Victorian terraces, that's exactly where our experience is, and it's where a proper inspection actually matters.

What Customers Say About First Rate Roofing

Why Battersea's Terraces Need Specific Attention

The Victorian terraces that make up most of residential Battersea share a lot in common with Clapham and Wandsworth nearby, narrow plots, shared party walls, and rear additions that have often been extended or converted over the decades.

A significant number of these properties have had a loft conversion, a rear kitchen extension with its own flat roof, or both, which means the original pitched roof isn't the only roof on the building any more.

Where a property backs onto a neighbour with a shared or adjoining roofline, water and access issues can affect both sides, and it's worth knowing whether an issue is isolated to your property or shared with next door before any work starts. We check this during the inspection, not after we've already started work on what turns out to be a shared problem.

What It Costs in Battersea

Prices vary with property type, roof age, and access, which is exactly why we inspect before quoting rather than guess over the phone.

Minor repairs typically run £150 to £400. A full pitched roof replacement typically runs £7,000 to £12,000 for tile, or £10,000 to £16,000 for natural slate. Flat roof work on rear extensions, common across Battersea's terraced streets, typically runs £2,800 to £7,000 depending on the system used.

The only way to get an exact figure for your property is a free inspection.

Roofing Questions People Ask Us in Battersea

I live in one of the new developments near the Power Station. Can you help with a roof issue? Most new-build flats in this area are still within their NHBC or equivalent 10-year warranty period, and roofing issues on those buildings are usually handled through the developer or managing agent rather than an independent roofer. If you're unsure whether this applies to you, we're happy to point you in the right direction.

My house shares a roofline with next door. Does that complicate a repair? It can, mainly around who's responsible for what if the issue affects both properties. We check this during the inspection and explain clearly what applies to your side specifically.

Do you work on properties with loft conversions and rear extensions? Yes, regularly. We check the whole roof, including where an extension or conversion meets the original structure, not just the section that prompted the call.

How quickly can you get someone out? Same day in most cases, seven days a week.

Do you charge for the inspection? No. No call-out fee, ever, regardless of what the inspection finds.
