Metroland's roofs, ninety years on
North-West London is Metroland — the 1930s suburbs that grew along the Metropolitan line — and its signature roof is the big hipped clay-tiled semi. Ninety years in, those roofs share a to-do list: mortar-bedded ridges and hips weathered loose, original clay tiles slipping as nibs and fixings age, bay-window roofs and flashings leaking quietly into the front bedroom, and timber fascias ready for uPVC replacement. The clay tiles themselves are often the best part of the roof — on a re-roof we can frequently reuse them over new felt and battens, keeping the street's look and a chunk of the cost. Older centres like Harlesden and Willesden add Victorian terraces with the slate, valley and chimney work that goes with them.
