A roofing company for Twickenham
Mascote Renovation & Property Solutions Ltd is a roofing company working across Twickenham, in TW1 and TW2. It is family run, and the work is never passed to subcontractors. Our own team stays with the job until it is finished.
With over ten years of roofing behind it, the team takes on commercial buildings as well as homes. Surveys are free, quotes are free, and you pay no deposit upfront. At the survey we look over the whole roof, show you what we have found and explain what it needs.
Roofers in Twickenham meet a different kind of roof in each part of the town, so the notes below go through it one neighbourhood at a time.
Central Twickenham and the riverside
The streets by the Thames, facing Eel Pie Island, and those around the town centre have some of the oldest houses in the area, and many still have natural slate roofs. Slate lasts a very long time, but the nails holding it rust through and the slates begin to slip one by one.
We put back or replace slipped and cracked slates, renew the lead where two slopes meet or where the roof runs into a wall, and bed any loose ridges down again. If too many slates are failing at once, we will say whether a repair still makes sense.
St Margarets and Strawberry Hill
These two neighbourhoods are largely Victorian and Edwardian, with slate and clay tile roofs, tall chimney stacks and bay windows.
On houses of this age the chimney stacks commonly need repointing, the pots replacing and the lead around bays and dormers renewing. Timber boards at the eaves wear out as well. We swap them for UPVC and hang new gutters at the same time.
Whitton
Whitton lies on the far side of Twickenham Stadium, the home of England Rugby. It is later suburban housing, much of it semi detached with tiled roofs.
On houses like these, trouble tends to start at the edges of the roof: a gutter that spills over in heavy rain, a soffit that sags, or a damp mark at the top of a bedroom wall. We inspect the eaves, mend or replace the gutters and downpipes, and swap broken or missing tiles for new ones.
A new roof in Twickenham
Once patching stops working, the answer is a new roof. In Twickenham that can mean slate to suit a period terrace, clay or concrete tiles on a later house, or a flat roofing system over an extension.
The old covering is stripped and taken away, fresh lead and ridge tiles go on with the new roof, and the whole job is done to building regulations. It carries our full guarantee.
Flat roofs on extensions and dormers
Many dormers, garages and back extensions across Twickenham have flat roofs. We lay EPDM rubber, felt and GRP fibreglass, on warm or cold roof construction, and add insulation where the existing roof is short of it.
Plenty of flat roofs can be repaired instead of replaced. We trace the leak, patch and reseal, cure pooling water and fit new edge trims.
