PITCHED SLATING, TILING & CHIMNEY LEADWORK IN WINDSOR SL4
From the Georgian and Victorian townhouses around Kings Road, Sheet Street, and the Long Walk to period cottages in Eton, riverside villas in Old Windsor and Datchet, and family homes across Clewer and Dedworth (SL4), pitched roofs in the Royal Borough face damp Thames Valley winters, high winds across Windsor Great Park, and frost-shattered mortar joints. As shown in our project photography, leaks on SL4 pitched roofs frequently stem from perished lead flashings around tall masonry chimney stacks, cracked skylight perimeters, and slipped slates caused by rusting nineteenth-century iron clout nails. Operating as an NFRC-accredited roofer in Windsor, London Roofing Specialist deploys directly employed slaters, tilers, and leadsmiths to carry out complete pitched roof renewals and structural timber overhauls across Berkshire.
C24 Timber Appraisals, Breathable Underlays & BS 5534 Battens
Before laying new slates or tiles on a Windsor property, our surveyor inspects the loft space to check C24 rafters, purlins, and ridge boards for wet rot or deflection. We strip perished bitumen underfelt back to bare rafters, dress a high-tensile vapour-permeable breather membrane across the roof plane, and fix graded BS 5534 pressure-treated timber battens engineered to withstand severe wind uplift.
QUARRY SLATES, INTERLOCKING TILES & SKYLIGHTS IN SL4
Whether we are restoring a heritage slate roof within the Windsor Town Centre Conservation Area or re-tiling a low-pitch family extension in Spital or Winkfield, we match every roof covering to the exact pitch, load capacity, and architectural character of your SL4 home.
Natural Welsh & Spanish Quarry Slating
Hand-sorted, copper-nailed blue-grey natural slates laid to exact headlap gauges for Georgian and Victorian streetscapes across Windsor and Eton.
Handmade Clay Plain & Interlocking Tiling
Double-lapped clay plain tiles for period gables alongside high-performance concrete interlocking tiles engineered for rapid water-shedding on suburban roofs across Dedworth and Clewer.
Stepped Chimney & Skylight Leadwork
Hand-bossed Code 4 and Code 5 rolled lead step flashings, chimney back-gutters, secret soakers, and rooflight aprons formed to Lead Sheet Training Academy (LSTA) standards.
Conservation Rooflights & Velux Skylights
As illustrated in our photography, we weather recessed conservation rooflights and pitched skylights directly into the surrounding slate courses using proprietary flashing kits and lead aprons.

Upgrading ceiling joists and rafter voids with high-density rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) thermal boards and continuous eaves-to-ridge ventilation.

Why is water leaking down our chimney breast or around our pitched skylight in Windsor?
In period Windsor and Eton homes, leaks down internal chimney breasts are almost always caused by perished mortar fillets or split lead back-gutters behind the masonry stack, while skylight leaks stem from cracked sealant used instead of proper lead soakers. As shown in our project photography, we strip the slates around the chimney or rooflight, dress new Code 5 stepped lead flashings and secret soakers into the brickwork, and re-slate the perimeter for a permanent, mastic-free seal.
Do you work within Windsor and Eton conservation area guidelines?
Yes. When working on heritage properties within the Windsor Town Centre, Eton, or Castle Hill conservation zones, we match existing natural Welsh slate gauges, traditional clay plain tiles, and lime-pointed rolled leadwork so the restored roof preserves original streetscape sightlines while meeting modern thermal standards.
