See roof insulationWhen your roof needs a roofer, not a bucket
Most roof trouble starts small and shows up inside the house first.
Damp patch on the ceiling
A brown ring upstairs means water is getting past the tiles or the membrane. The leak rarely sits right above the stain, so it needs tracing from the roof side.
Ridge or hip tiles loose
Mortar under ridge tiles cracks with age and frost. Once it lets go, wind lifts the tiles and rain runs straight into the top of the roof.
Slipped or cracked slates
One slipped slate on a Victorian terrace lets water track down the battens. Rusted nails, known as nail fatigue, are the common cause on old slate roofs.
Heavy moss on the tiles
Thick moss holds water against the tiles, lifts their edges in frost and washes into your gutters, where it blocks the outlets and causes overflow.
Ponding on a flat roof
Water sitting on a flat roof for days after rain points to a sagging deck or failing felt. Left alone, it finds a seam and comes through.
A roof past its working life
Concrete tiles on many 1930s semis still sit on their original battens and felt. When repairs keep coming back, a re-roof starts to make more sense than patching every winter.
How Patrick runs a roofing job
Patrick comes out himself. He gets up on the roof, finds what is actually wrong and takes photos, sometimes a video, so you see the slipped tile or the split felt for yourself. Nothing is agreed until you have looked. Then you get one price for the job, agreed up front, with no extras added later and no hidden fees. If a repair will do, you are told so. If the roof has had its day, you see why.
His team is often up on the roof the same day or the day after. Scaffold goes up where the job needs it, old tiles and battens come off, and the new materials go on in the right order: membrane, battens, tiles or slate, then ridge and verge. The site is swept, the waste is taken away and you pay when the job is finished. Over 30 years' experience and 400+ projects sit behind that routine.
- Patrick surveys every roof himself
- You see the fault in photos or video first
- One fixed price, nothing added later
- Payment only when the job is finished
- 10-year guarantee, up to 20 years depending on the job
- Waste cleared and taken away
Roofing for Croydon's semis, terraces and villas
Croydon's housing tells you a lot before the ladder goes up. The 1930s semis around Shirley, Selsdon and Sanderstead mostly carry concrete interlocking tiles on hipped roofs, often with a tiled bay roof below. Thornton Heath, Selhurst and South Norwood are full of Victorian terraces under slate, many with a valley gutter where the main roof meets the back addition. Addiscombe has Edwardian villas with clay tiles and decorative ridges. Patrick knows each of these roofs and what fails on them first, from Croydon out along the A23, A232 and A22.
Tile, slate or flat: the roofs we cover
Your house and your street decide most of this. Patrick shows you the choices that fit.
Concrete interlocking tile
Heavy, hard-wearing and quick to lay, concrete interlocking tiles cover most of Croydon's 1930s and post-war homes. They suit fairly shallow pitches and give a lot of roof for the money.
Best for: 1930s semis and post-war houses
Natural slate
Split stone that lasts for generations when it is fixed properly. It is the right look for a Victorian terrace and keeps a period street looking as it should. It costs more to buy and lay than tile.
Best for: Victorian terraces and period homes
Slate-effect tile
Man-made tiles that give the slate look at a lower price and lay faster. A good pick where you want the look of slate but the budget points at tile.
Best for: Slate look on a tighter budget
Flat roof
Torch-on felt, Firestone RubberCover EPDM or GRP fibreglass for extensions, dormers and garages. Each has its strengths on cost, lifespan and finish, and Patrick talks you through all three on the visit.
Best for: Extensions, dormers and garages

What sets the price of a roofing job
No two roofs cost the same, so Apex price yours from what Patrick sees on it, not from a guess. The size and pitch of the roof, the covering you choose and the need for scaffold make the biggest difference. So does what he finds underneath: rotten battens, a perished membrane or a sagging rafter all change the job. You get the full price in writing after the survey, and that price stands.
What sets the price
- Roof size and pitch
- Tile, slate or flat covering
- Scaffold and access
- Condition of battens, membrane and timbers
- Ridge, hip, verge and valley details
- Chimneys, lead and abutments
- Waste removal
Roofing questions
How can you tell a good roofer?
A good roofer shows you the problem before asking for your money. Patrick gets on the roof, photographs the fault and explains it at your kitchen table. Look for a fixed written price, a guarantee in writing, insurance, real Google reviews and payment on completion. Apex tick every one: fully insured, 5.0 on Google from 38 reviews and a 10-year guarantee, up to 20 years depending on the job.
Do Apex cover roofing outside Croydon?
Yes. From the base on Croydon High Street, Patrick covers the whole borough and the south London and north Surrey towns beyond it, with Orpington, Bromley, Sutton, Purley, Coulsdon, Epsom and Streatham among them. Most are a short drive out along the A23, A232 or A22, so a survey outside Croydon is no harder to book.
Do I need scaffolding for roof work?
Most roof jobs above a single storey need scaffold, because it is the safe way to work at height and it protects your walls and windows. Small jobs such as one slipped tile can sometimes be reached with roof ladders. Patrick tells you on the survey which applies and builds it into the one price, so scaffold is never a surprise extra.
How long is the guarantee on roofing work from Apex?
You get a 10-year guarantee, up to 20 years depending on the job, set out in writing before any work starts. A full re-roof and a small repair are very different pieces of work, so the length follows what you are having done. Patrick tells you which applies when he quotes. Flat roofs are fully guaranteed too.
Do I have to pay a deposit for roofing work?
No, you pay on completion. Patrick agrees the price with you up front, his team does the work, and you settle the bill once the roof is done and the site is clean. Nothing is asked for before the job is finished, which is one reason 500+ happy clients have been glad to recommend the team.
