Roofers in Godalming
Godalming is a town renowned for its heritage and picturesque streetscapes, where medieval timber frames sit alongside grand Victorian villas. At AP Benson Roofing and Building, we understand that maintaining a home in such a historic area requires more than just standard DIY skills. It requires a deep appreciation for local building materials and traditional techniques. Since our inception, we have been the go-to team for homeowners across Godalming who demand high-quality craftsmanship and a transparent, friendly service. We treat every property with the respect it deserves, ensuring your roof remains a sturdy, attractive asset for years to come.
Roof Repairs in Godalming
In an area with so many characterful older properties, wear and tear is inevitable. Whether it’s a slipped tile on a steep gable or a mysterious damp patch in the loft after a Surrey downpour, our roof repairs service is designed to get to the heart of the issue quickly. Our roofers don't just fix the surface symptoms; we check for underlying timber rot or perished felt to ensure that once a leak is stopped, it stays stopped. We specialise in sourcing matching materials, whether that’s weathered clay tiles or reclaimed slate, so that your repair is invisible to the naked eye.
Flat Roofs in Godalming
While traditional pitches dominate the skyline, many Godalming homes rely on flat roofs for modern kitchen extensions, dormer windows, or garages. If your flat roof is showing signs of alligatoring or pooling water, it may be time for an upgrade. We steer clear of low-quality fixes, instead offering high-performance GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber systems. These modern membranes move with your building, meaning they won’t crack during summer heatwaves or become brittle in the winter frost, providing a seamless, watertight finish.
New Roofs in Godalming
There comes a time when patching up an old roof is no longer the most economical path. If your roof has reached the end of its natural lifespan, we provide a full design and installation service for new roofs. We handle everything from the initial structural survey to the final ridge tile. For properties where the rafters are still in excellent condition, we often recommend re roofing. This process involves stripping the old tiles, installing modern high-performance underlay and treated battens, and then relaying the roof. It’s a fantastic way to improve your home's energy efficiency while maintaining its original charm.
Roof Maintenance and Cleaning in Godalming
The beautiful, wooded surroundings of the Wey Valley mean that roofs in Godalming are particularly susceptible to heavy moss growth and debris. Our roof maintenance and cleaning service is about more than just aesthetics. Moss acts like a sponge, holding moisture against your tiles and increasing the risk of frost damage. We provide expert roof cleaning and a specialised moss rid cleaning treatment to keep your roof clear and functional. Regular roof maintenance is the simplest way to avoid the stress of emergency repairs during a storm.
Chimney Rebuilds and Repairs in Godalming
A chimney is often a focal point of a Surrey home, but it is also the most exposed to the wind and rain. We offer a full range of chimney builds and repairs, from simple repointing of weathered masonry to complete rebuilds of unstable stacks. We also focus heavily on the leadwork – that’s the waterproof flashing that joins the chimney to the roof. If this is cracked or lifting, water can easily bypass your tiles and cause significant internal damage. Our craftsmen ensure every joint is perfectly sealed and every brick is secure.
Fascia, Soffits & Guttering in Godalming
Your roof's roofline is its first line of defence against the British weather. We install and maintain high-grade soffits, fascias, and guttering to ensure that rainwater is efficiently whisked away from your walls. Old timber fascias can rot behind the paintwork, eventually compromising the ends of your roof rafters. We offer durable uPVC and aluminium replacements that provide essential ventilation to your roof space while requiring virtually no maintenance, keeping your home looking sharp and staying dry.
Other Services
We deal with not just pitched and flat roof repairs, fascias and soffits, and chimney repairs. We also cover new roof installations, guttering repairs, moss removal, lead work, flashing, house, and chimney re-pointing, building work including garden walls and patios and Velux roof windows replaced and fitte
