Purley's hills and the houses on them
Purley sits where the A23 and A22 meet at the bottom of the valley, and most of its houses climb the hills on either side. The Webb Estate and Upper Woodcote Village, laid out by William Webb in the early 1900s, form a protected garden suburb of large Arts and Crafts houses with steep clay tile roofs, big gables, dormers and tall chimneys. Russell Hill and Foxley have substantial Edwardian and inter-war detached houses on large plots, with roofs to match in size and in the number of valleys and hips.
Kenley, just up the A22, and Purley Oaks carry on with inter-war detached homes and later infill. The valley bottom has its own weather story: after a very wet winter the Caterham Bourne rises and floods the low ground round the town centre, and in those spells every blocked gutter shows up as a damp wall. Big trees on the hillsides fill gutters each autumn. Patrick is three miles away down the Purley Way and will photograph your roof before any price is set.

Purley roof work, big roofs and small faults
Large, complicated roofs have more places for water to get in.
Valleys and dormer cheeks
Arts and Crafts roofs are full of valleys, dormers and abutments, and each one relies on lead. Apex replace split valleys and flashings in code 4 lead and dress it properly so it sheds water for years.
Steep clay tile slopes
Webb Estate roofs carry clay plain tiles on steep pitches. Single tiles crack or slip as their nails fail. Apex refix and replace them one by one, keeping the roof's look intact from the road.
Gutters under the trees
Hillside gardens with mature trees drop leaves into gutters and hoppers, and blocked downpipes overflow onto the walls. Apex clean and seal the gutters, replace failed sections and fit new downpipes where needed.

Roofing questions from Purley
Are large Webb Estate roofs harder to repair?
They take more planning rather than more guesswork. Steep pitches, many valleys, dormers and tall stacks mean more scaffold and more lead than an ordinary semi. Patrick walks the roof, photographs every fault and prices the whole job up front, scaffold included, so the size of the roof never becomes a surprise on the bill.
Why does my Purley house get damp near the chimney?
Damp round a chimney breast points to failed lead flashing where the stack meets the roof, or to worn pointing that lets rain soak into the brickwork. Tall stacks on big hillside houses in Purley take a lot of weather. Patrick checks the lead and the mortar, photographs both and fixes the cause with new code 4 lead and repointing.
Do you take payment before starting a roof in Purley?
No. Apex take payment on completion, so nothing is paid before the work is done. You agree a fixed price after Patrick has shown you photos of the problem, the team do the job and clear the waste, and then you pay. There are no extra or hidden fees added at the end.
Does the Caterham Bourne flooding affect roofs in Purley?
Not the roof itself, because the Bourne floods the ground, but the wet winters when it flows show up every weakness in a roof and its gutters. Blocked gutters and downpipes pour water against walls that are already wet. Before a wet winter, have Patrick check the gutters, downpipes and flashings so the rain goes where it should.
