We are a Hertfordshire-based roofing team working regularly throughout Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding area. The town has a distinctive mix of property types - the Georgian and Victorian buildings of the Old Town, the post-war new town housing estates across Adeyfield, Bennetts End and Grovehill, and the more recent developments on the outskirts. We carry out roofing work across all of these every day.
Hemel Hempstead's new town housing stock from the 1950s and 60s is now reaching an age where roofing problems become more frequent - flat roofs on extensions and garages need replacement, concrete tiles on pitched roofs are failing, and guttering systems installed decades ago are reaching the end of their useful life. We see these jobs regularly across the HP postcodes.

Call the TeamHere is what tends to go wrong with roofs in Hemel Hempstead - and what to do about it.
The large post-war estates across Adeyfield, Bennetts End and Grovehill contain thousands of homes now over 60 years old. Flat roofs on garages and extensions from this era - typically felt on timber decking - have long exceeded their expected lifespan and are a very common source of leaks. Concrete tile on pitched roofs from the same period can suffer from freeze-thaw cracking, failed ridge mortar and lifted valleys. These are not cosmetic problems - water getting into a roof void causes structural damage that is far more expensive to repair than the roof work itself.
The Old Town and Boxmoor areas contain Victorian and Edwardian properties with original natural slate roofs and brick chimney stacks that need experienced handling. Slipped or cracked slates, failed lead flashings and deteriorated pointing on chimney stacks are the most common issues we see on these older properties. Lime mortar is required for repointing on older stacks - using modern cement mortar on Victorian brickwork causes spalling damage over time.
Across Hemel Hempstead we see a significant number of homes where guttering is blocked, pulling away from the fascia, or leaking at joints. When gutters fail, water runs down the external wall rather than away from the property - over time this causes penetrating damp, staining, and in older properties can lead to significant internal damage. Fascia boards on post-war homes are often now rotting or deteriorating, and replacement with uPVC is a straightforward, long-lasting solution.
A damp patch on a ceiling, mortar crumbling from a chimney stack, tiles that look out of place, or gutters that overflow despite being cleared - these are the signs that something needs attention. In our experience, the cost of addressing a roofing problem early is a fraction of the cost of repairing the water damage that results from leaving it. We carry out free surveys across Hemel Hempstead and give you a straight assessment of what needs doing now and what can wait.
