When a Forest Hill roof has reached the end of its life, Evans Roofing & Maintenance Ltd is the team to replace it. we offer complete new roof installations and full strip-and-cover re-roofs for Forest Hill homeowners, using materials that suit the property and the local conditions. Forest Hill is a sizeable village with a mixed housing stock — period properties in the older core and newer developments on the edges. Local properties present a range of roofing requirements, from period craftsmanship to bread-and-butter estate work.
Forest Hill's housing stock — older brick cottages alongside large 1960s-1990s estate housing built for Oxford commuters — covers a wide range of roof styles. older pitched roofs suffer slipped tiles and failed underlay, with chimney stacks needing flashing and pointing work. Thames valley humidity drives moss growth on north-facing slopes, and gutter blockages from autumn leaves are a regular issue, which is exactly why a properly specified, properly installed new roof is so important here. We handle planning checks and Building Regulations as part of the job.
Forest Hill's combination of a mixed housing stock spanning period properties and several phases of newer development and valley terrain shapes our work in the village. For a new roof in Forest Hill, material choice and detailing matter as much as the cover itself. spring is the best season for major re-roofing work in this area — drier weather and steady temperatures The valley setting means cold-air pooling in winter — frost cycles can be more severe than in surrounding higher ground.
