Epsom's housing, from the town centre to Epsom Downs
Epsom turned from a spa town into a commuter town in Victorian times, and the villas from those years still line the roads around Stamford Green and College Ward. They are big houses with natural slate or clay tile roofs, decorative ridges, several chimney stacks and cast iron gutters that were never meant to last this long. Stamford Green is a conservation area, so repairs there need the right slate and the right detailing. Ewell village has older cottages mixed in, some with steep clay tile roofs and dormers.
Further out the picture changes. Stoneleigh and West Ewell are 1930s suburbs of hipped semis with bay windows, built as the new railway stations opened up the area. Up on Epsom Downs and at Langley Vale the houses sit high on chalk, open to the wind that sweeps across the racecourse, and that is where ridge tiles and verges take a beating in a winter gale. Apex come across from Croydon along the A232, and Patrick checks the roof himself before any price is put to you.

Common faults on Epsom roofs
The age of the houses and the height of the downs decide most of what goes wrong here.
Wind-lifted ridges on the downs
Houses near the racecourse catch every south-westerly. Mortar-bedded ridge tiles crack loose and verges open up. Apex fit dry ridge and dry verge systems that are mechanically fixed and do not rely on mortar.
Tired chimney stacks
Villas in College Ward carry tall stacks with crumbling joints and lead that has lifted away from the brick. Apex repoint the stack and dress new code 4 lead flashing round its base.
Old cast iron gutters
Victorian houses still wear their original iron gutters and hoppers. Joints rust, sections sag and water runs down the brickwork. Apex repair and reseal them, or fit new guttering and downpipes.
Cold 1930s lofts
Stoneleigh semis were built with little or no loft insulation. When Apex re-roof, PIR boards go in between the rafters, and they can also be fitted from the loft side without stripping the tiles.

Roofing questions from Epsom
Are Epsom roofs more exposed to storm damage?
Houses high on Epsom Downs and around Langley Vale are more exposed than those in the town centre, because nothing breaks the wind across the open chalk. Ridge tiles, verges and loose slates are the first to go. A dry-fixed ridge and verge hold far better than mortar in those spots. If a gale has shifted anything, call 0800 404 6688 and Patrick will come and photograph the damage.
What is the best time of year for roof repair in Epsom?
Late spring to early autumn is the best time for planned roof work, because mortar cures properly and torch-on felt bonds well in dry, mild weather. That makes it the right window for a re-roof or chimney work on an Epsom villa. Leaks do not wait for summer though, and Apex fix emergency damage all year round. Book your free look early and you get the pick of dates.
Can Apex work on a house in the Stamford Green conservation area?
Yes. Apex repair and re-roof in natural slate, which suits the Victorian houses around Stamford Green, and they renew chimney flashing in code 4 lead. A conservation area expects the roof to keep its character, so like-for-like materials matter. Patrick photographs what is on the roof now, which gives you a clear record if the council ask what is being replaced.
Do you cover Ewell and Stoneleigh as well as Epsom?
Yes, Ewell, Stoneleigh, West Ewell and Epsom Downs are all covered. They sit on the A232 and A24 from Croydon, the same way in as Epsom itself. The service does not change from one to the next: a free quote, photos of the problem before you agree, a fixed price and payment only when the job is finished.
