Trusted Roofers in Wandsworth
LRC Group Roofing & Building Ltd are roofers covering Wandsworth and the SW18 postcode. The bulk of our work here is on the Victorian terraces filling the ground between Wandsworth Common and Clapham Common, plus the Edwardian housing towards Earlsfield and Southfields. We cover repairs, full recovering, flat roofs, chimneys, leadwork and associated brickwork.
Roofing Services in Wandsworth
Our roofing services in Wandsworth are designed to cover everything from small repair work to full replacement projects. We work on terraces, houses, flats, extensions, conversions, and commercial premises, adapting the work to suit the roof type and structure involved. Some customers need urgent help with a leak or storm damage, while others need planned roofing work to improve an ageing property. By offering complete roofing services, we make it easier to manage repairs, maintenance, and upgrades through one reliable company.
Roof Repairs for Leaks and Damaged Roof Areas
In Wandsworth the repair-or-replace question comes up on almost every survey. Where slates are slipping across a whole slope the fixings have usually gone and further patching is money wasted; where the fault is one valley or one stack, a repair genuinely is the answer. We give a straight view either way.
Flat Roofing for Extensions and Commercial Roofs
Flat roofing in SW18 is mainly rear extensions and back additions on the terraces between the commons. Most of the failures we see are at the upstands and abutments rather than in the middle of the roof, so we detail those properly and dress the lead correctly rather than relying on sealant.
Slate & Tile Roofing for Pitched Properties
Wandsworth's terraces were built with natural slate and, a hundred and thirty years on, much of it is original. When we recover we keep the slate where it is sound and match new to old, so a terrace does not end up with one roof that reads differently from its neighbours.
Chimneys & Leadwork
Chimney stacks on Wandsworth terraces are often shared across the party wall, which makes both the repair and the access a conversation with the neighbour. We handle that rather than leaving it with you, and we rebuild and reflash properly so the stack is not back on the list in three years.
Facias, Soffits & Guttering
Guttering on these terraces is frequently a parapet gutter rather than a visible eaves gutter, and when it blocks the water goes inside rather than over the edge. We clear, reline and rebuild outlets, and where the fascia and soffit behind have rotted we renew those at the same time.
Brickwork Repair, Brick Repointing and Rendering Repair
Brickwork repair and repointing come up constantly in SW18, usually on parapets and chimney stacks where old cement pointing has trapped water and blown the brick face. We take that out and repoint in a mix suited to the age of the wall.
New Roofs & Re-Roofs
Where a Wandsworth roof has reached the end of its life we strip it back, inspect and repair the timbers, and recover in matching slate. On a continuous terrace we work with the neighbours over access and party wall matters so the job runs without a dispute.
Painting & Decorating and Building Work
Alongside roofing we carry out painting, decorating and general building work, so a full elevation can be dealt with in a single programme rather than in stages months apart.
Roofing and Building Work for Wandsworth Properties
Wandsworth includes a wide mix of property styles, from terraces and family homes to flats, modern developments, conversions, and commercial premises. That means roofing services in Wandsworth often need to be adapted to the age, structure, and access requirements of the building rather than approached in the same way every time. We work across Wandsworth and nearby areas such as Wandsworth Town, Earlsfield, Southfields, Roehampton, and Tooting, providing practical solutions for different roof types and property layouts. Some buildings need roof repairs or flat roofing work, while others need chimney repairs, brickwork repair, rendering repair, or wider building work to restore the exterior properly.
Our Services in Wandsworth
Using one contractor across the roof, the brickwork and the decoration keeps the job to one scaffold and one point of contact. On the continuous terraces here that also means one conversation with the neighbours rather than several.

Why Choose LRC Group Roofing & Building Ltd
The roofers worth having in Wandsworth are the ones who will tell you when a repair will not hold. Repeated patching on a slope with failed fixings is money spent twice, and we would rather give you the honest answer at survey than the answer that wins the smaller job.
FAQs
Q: How do I know if I need roof repairs or a new roof?
A: Look at whether the problem is in one place or across the slope. One slipped area or a single failed flashing is a repair. Slates slipping in several places usually means nail sickness, and at that point a recovering is the cheaper route over any sensible timeframe.
Q: Can you handle the brickwork and rendering as well as the roof?
A: Yes. On Wandsworth terraces the parapet and the chimney stack are brickwork that the roof relies on, and they are far cheaper to repair while the access is already in place.
Q: What types of properties do you work on in Wandsworth?
A: We work on terraced and semi-detached housing, flats, conversions and commercial premises throughout SW18, including Earlsfield, Southfields and the streets around both commons.

Roofing in Wandsworth: terraces between the commons
Wandsworth is mostly Victorian terraces filling the ground between Wandsworth Common and Clapham Common, along with Edwardian housing towards Earlsfield and Southfields. The roofs are largely butterfly or shallow pitched, and after a hundred and thirty years the original slate is usually near the end of its life even where the structure is sound.
The question we are asked most in SW18 is whether a roof needs repair or replacement. Where nail sickness has set in and slates are slipping across the whole slope, repeated repairs are money wasted — we will say so. Where the failure is confined to a valley or a stack, a repair is genuinely the right answer and we will say that too.
We cover SW18 including Earlsfield, Southfields and the streets around both commons. Many of these terraces are continuous, so party wall agreements and neighbour access are part of the job and we deal with them rather than leaving them to you.
