Roofers in Watford, from Callowland slate to Cassiobury and Oxhey
Roofers in Watford for the Victorian slate terraces of West Watford and Callowland, the larger houses of Nascot and Cassiobury, and the estates of Garston, Leavesden and South Oxhey. Ring 07310 120341 and Kieran comes out, explains the options and writes you a free quote.
Watford grew fast once the railway came, and West Watford, Callowland and North Watford were built up in rows of late Victorian terraces, most of them roofed in Welsh slate. Nascot Wood and the roads around Cassiobury Park filled with bigger Edwardian and inter-war houses. After the war came the estates: South Oxhey, built by the London County Council, then Garston, Leavesden and the Meriden.
Slate on a Watford terrace lasts well over a century; the nails holding it do not. Once they rust through, slates slide out one at a time, and on a long street you can spot the gaps from the pavement. The lead in the valleys between the main roof and the back addition splits with age, and shared chimney stacks lose their flaunching and pointing.
Slate is the work Kieran has posted from Watford: a slate roof, before and after. Where the slate is sound he refixes slipped slates with tingles and replaces broken ones with matched slate. Where nail sickness has spread across the whole roof, a strip and re-slate on new membrane and battens ends the repairs and carries a 20-year guarantee.

Watford questions
What is nail sickness on a slate roof?
It is when the nails holding the slates rust through across the roof, so slates start sliding out one after another. A few can be refixed. When it is across the whole roof, re-slating is the fix that lasts.
Do you work in Oxhey Village and South Oxhey?
Yes. Oxhey Village's Victorian terraces and the post-war houses of South Oxhey are both in WD19, and we cover both, along with Carpenders Park and Bushey.
Do you re-roof the post-war houses in Garston and Leavesden?
Yes. Those roofs are concrete tile on felt that is now 60 or 70 years old. A re-roof with breathable membrane, new battens and new tiles puts that right for decades.
Can you match the slate on my Watford terrace?
Yes, with new or reclaimed natural slate in the same size and colour, so a repair disappears into the roof.
Do you work on the bigger houses in Cassiobury and Nascot?
Yes. Those Edwardian and inter-war houses have bigger roofs with more hips, valleys and dormers, and more lead to look after, which is where most of their leaks start.
Outstanding roofing company! I honestly can’t recommend KR & Sons Roofing & Guttering Ltd enough. From the first contact, they were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. The whole team worked incredibly hard and the standard of their workmanship was brilliant. They were reliable, tidy and kept me informed throughout the job, and the finished roof looks absolutely fantastic. It’s not often you come across a company that takes this much pride in their work. I’m extremely happy with the result and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them to family, friends or anyone looking for a top-quality roofing company. Fantastic team, fantastic workmanship and a fantastic service from start to finish!
Excellent repair work complete by KR & Sons Roofing. Good communication throughout and work completed in a timely manner. Work finished below the quoted estimate. Highly recommended and trustworthy company.

Great quality work, effective clean up after and efficient communication throughout. Really good to get the run down of the work as it went along, and assurance with a gaurantee at the end
Highly recommend! Had an issue with my roof flashing after a storm, he was very quick to come out and have a look/quote. Work was carried out the following week and a further issue was found after work started, was very generous in supporting me with the added cost!
