Northwood is a leafy corner of the London Borough of Hillingdon, with tree-lined roads, larger detached and semi-detached homes and a good number of 1930s properties. That brings its own roofing issues, from moss and leaf build-up to blocked gutters and tiles that have worn with age. We’re a local roofing team covering Northwood and Northwood Hills, dealing with everything from small repairs and storm damage to full re-roofs, for homeowners and local businesses alike. If you’re in HA6 and want an honest opinion on what your roof actually needs, get in touch.

Local knowledge
Northwood town centre has a mix of late Victorian and later architecture, including Arts and Crafts, Tudor-style and 1930s Art Deco buildings. Roofs there tend to be more varied and more detailed.
Parts of Northwood fall within conservation areas, and the Green Lane conservation area sits right next to The Glen and Frithwood. In areas like these, there can be restrictions on exterior changes, and that can include your roof. We can talk you through what’s likely to apply and recommend materials that suit your property, before any work starts.
Northwood’s clay was once used to make bricks and tiles, so clay tile roofs are a big part of the area’s character. If yours needs repair, we’ll help you match it properly instead of patching it with something that doesn’t fit.
