Coulsdon's hills, valleys and the houses on them
Coulsdon was farmland on the edge of the North Downs until the railways and the builders of the 1920s and 1930s filled its valleys. The result is a town of inter-war detached houses and semis stepping up steep hillsides, with hipped roofs, clay or concrete tiles and bay windows. Chipstead Valley and the roads climbing out of the town centre are full of them. Old Coulsdon, up on the plateau, has more bungalows and chalet bungalows, some with dormers added later, sitting on open, windy ground.
Farthing Downs and Happy Valley keep the east side open, so roofs up there take the full force of the weather coming off the downs. Cane Hill, the old hospital site above the town, now carries new-build houses whose roofs are young but still need gutters cleared and ridges checked after a storm. Apex come down the A23 from Croydon, the relief road takes them round the town centre, and Patrick gets up to look at your roof himself.

What wears out on Coulsdon roofs
Height, wind and the age of the housing decide it.
Storm-damaged ridge tiles
Exposed roofs near Farthing Downs lose ridge and hip tiles in gales, and Apex refix them. As one Google reviewer wrote: "Ridge tile was blown off called apex roofing and guttering Ltd they came out right away and replaced the tile".
Dormer and extension flat roofs
Chalet bungalows and extended semis often carry a flat roof on a dormer or rear extension. Apex re-cover them in torch-on felt, Firestone RubberCover EPDM or GRP fibreglass, and every flat roof is fully guaranteed.
Hillside hipped roofs
Inter-war hips on the valley slopes are close to a century old, with rusted nails and perished felt. Apex repair them or re-roof in concrete interlocking tile, slate or slate-effect on new battens and membrane.

Roofing questions from Coulsdon
Is Coulsdon's hilly ground a problem for roof work?
No, it just changes how the job is set up. Houses on steep slopes in Chipstead Valley and Old Coulsdon can need scaffold built to different heights front and back, and access for materials is planned before the day. Patrick works that out on his free visit and it goes into the fixed price, so the slope never turns into an extra charge.
Can Apex repair my bungalow roof in Old Coulsdon?
Yes. Apex repair and re-roof bungalows and chalet bungalows, from slipped tiles and cracked ridges to leaking valleys and dormer flat roofs. Patrick checks the whole roof, shows you photos of any faults and agrees the price up front. The team finish the job and leave your garden clear of old tiles and waste.
Do new-build roofs at Cane Hill need maintenance?
Yes, even a young roof needs looking after. Gutters on new-builds fill with leaves and silt like any other, and dry-fix ridges and verges can work loose in a gale. If the house is still under a builder's warranty, check that first. Otherwise Patrick checks the roof, shows you photos of anything that needs attention and gives you a fixed price.
Can you insulate the roof of a Coulsdon chalet bungalow?
Yes. Chalet bungalows have rooms built into the roof slope, so the insulation has to sit between the rafters. Apex fit PIR boards there when the roof is being redone, and they can also fit them from the loft side where there is access behind the upstairs walls. It makes a real difference to how warm those upstairs rooms feel in winter.
