Caterham on the Hill and Caterham Valley
Caterham is really two towns. Caterham on the Hill grew round the Guards barracks in Victorian times, and its older streets are rows of brick terraces and villas with slate roofs, chimney stacks and small back additions. The barracks have since been turned into housing, so new roofs sit among the old. Up there the houses stand high on the North Downs, open to the wind, and ridge tiles, verges and chimney flashing take real punishment through the winter.
Caterham Valley came with the railway in 1856 and sits in the dip around the station, with Edwardian villas, inter-war semis and big gardens climbing the slopes towards Harestone. Trees are everywhere, and so are gutters full of leaves and roofs green with moss. Chaldon and Whyteleafe fill in around it. Apex come down the A22 through Whyteleafe, and the team take every bit of waste away when the job is done.
About 7 miles south of Croydon, down the A23 to Purley then the A22 through Whyteleafe · Postcodes CR3
Caterham roofs and the weather on the downs
Height on the Hill and trees in the Valley shape most of the work here.
Storm damage on the Hill
Gales across the downs strip ridge tiles, lift verges and loosen slates. Apex carry out emergency roof repairs to get the roof watertight, then fix it properly with dry ridge and dry verge.
Exposed chimney stacks
Victorian stacks on the Hill take wind-driven rain on every side. Pointing washes out and the lead lifts away from the brick. Apex repoint the stack and fit new code 4 lead flashing and seals.
Moss and leaves in the Valley
Mature trees round the station and up towards Harestone keep Valley roofs damp and gutters full. Apex clean and seal the gutters, clear hoppers and downpipes and check the tiles beneath the moss.

Roofing questions from Caterham
Do you come out to Caterham for emergency roof repairs?
Yes. Apex handle emergency roof repairs in Caterham, and storm damage on the Hill is exactly that kind of call. Ring 0800 404 6688 or 07868 059901.

Can Apex replace the slate roof on a Victorian terrace on the Hill?
Yes. Apex re-roof in natural slate and slate-effect, stripping the old slates, fitting new battens and breathable membrane and finishing with a new ridge. Patrick shows you photos of the old slates and battens first, so you can see why the roof is due. You get a 10-year guarantee, up to 20 years depending on the job.
Is Caterham too far out for a Croydon roofer?
No. Caterham is about seven miles from Apex's Croydon base, down the A23 and A22 through Whyteleafe, and it is one of the north Surrey towns Patrick covers. Caterham on the Hill, the Valley, Chaldon and Whyteleafe are all on the list. The visit and the quote cost you nothing.
Why are gutters in Caterham Valley always blocked?
Because the Valley is full of mature trees, and the houses sit in a sheltered dip where leaves settle rather than blow away. Gutters and hoppers fill each autumn, and moss washed off shaded roofs adds to the blockage. Apex clean and seal the gutters, clear the downpipes and replace sagging runs with new guttering where the old has had its day.
