Fulham roof replacement and survey work
A closer look at real N.H.R.B.S. work and roof-survey observations in Fulham, London.
Fulham Roof Replacement: New Slates, Capped Walls & Lead Flashings
Watch how we replaced this Fulham roof with Canadian natural slates, capped walls and fresh step and window flashings for a weather-tight finish.
This Fulham roof replacement was finished with Canadian natural slates. The walls were capped and new step flashings were added where the roof meets the wall.
The existing windows were in good condition, so they were kept. New flashings were installed around them, with the slates carefully cut to follow the sloping relationship between the windows and roof.
Fulham Bay Window Roof: Rebuilt with Code 5 Lead & a Wood Roll Detail
See how we rebuilt a Fulham bay window roof the proper way, using Code 5 lead and a wood roll detail to protect every junction.
This Fulham bay-window roof was complete apart from repointing the wall. The roof uses Code 5 lead, with a wood roll detail running up the hips.
The video compares the finished bay window with the neighbouring roof and shows the difference made by removing the old covering and rebuilding the detail properly.
Buying a House in Fulham? A Roof Survey That Catches the Red Flags
Before you exchange, see the roof problems we flagged on this Fulham home — ageing slates, a poorly vented flat roof and more — and why a specialist survey matters.
This pre-purchase inspection in Fulham found several issues that would be difficult to understand from street level alone. The older fibre slates showed signs of ageing and curling, while the vertical slating and leadwork also needed attention.
The flat roof had been coated over and was not properly vented, allowing water to enter. The inspection also identified damaged ridge tiles, chimney repointing needs, loose front guttering and areas requiring scaffolding.
The recommended approach was to strip the failing roof back, add boarding, a vapour barrier and 150mm insulation board. This is an example of why a specialist roof inspection can help a buyer understand likely costs before exchange; N.H.R.B.S. does not offer standalone guttering repairs.
What the Fulham work can help you understand
A short project record cannot replace an inspection or building survey, but it can show the kind of details that matter: slate and leadwork, roof junctions, flat-roof failures, insulation choices and warning signs before buying a property.
