Roofer Cobham – Roofing and Guttering
Roofing and Guttering for Cobham’s Riverside Village, Victorian Streets and Fairmile Homes
Cobham grew from separate settlements — Church Cobham on the curve of the River Mole, Street Cobham on the old Portsmouth Road, and Cobham Tilt and Downside nearby — and its roofs still show it. Older cottages and village houses line Church Street, River Hill and Mill Road; Victorian and Edwardian houses spread north and east after the railway arrived with a station at Stoke d’Abernon; and the larger detached homes of Fairmile and the roads around Leigh Hill and Tilt Road followed through the 20th century. We’re based a short drive away in Claygate, and Cobham — from the High Street and Downside to Fairmile and Stoke d’Abernon — is a regular part of our patch. Roofing and Guttering handles roof repairs, gutter cleaning, moss removal, new roof installation, flat roofing and UPVC fascia and soffit replacement for homeowners across Cobham, with free estimates and no obligation to book.

How we handle a roofing job in Cobham
- Free estimate: a look at the roof, in person or from photos if you can’t be there, and a fixed quote rather than a guess.
- Materials matched to the property: on Cobham’s older village houses that usually means matching the existing clay tile or slate rather than reaching for the nearest concrete equivalent, which matters even more inside the Cobham, Plough Corner or Downside Village conservation areas; for flat sections it means choosing between felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber depending on the roof’s pitch and use.
- The work itself: repairs, a full re-roof, gutter clearing and repair from £39, or fascia and soffit replacement in UPVC, planned around access — narrow streets like Church Street and River Hill leave little room for ladders or scaffold, and gated houses on the Fairmile estate need access arranged in advance, which we’re used to.
- A walk-round finish: the site is left clear of old tiles, felt or guttering offcuts, and we’ll flag anything else we noticed while we were up there, even if it’s not what you called us out for.
- Aftercare: UPVC fascia and soffit work is close to maintenance-free, and a roof clean (from £499) extends the life of tiles that would otherwise trap moisture under moss — a real issue under the mature trees along the Mole and around Fairmile Common, Cobham Common and Painshill, where roofs stay shaded and gutters fill every autumn.

Cobham’s Conservation Areas and the River Mole Shape the Work
Cobham has three conservation areas. The main one, designated in 1973, follows the older buildings around the curve of the River Mole from Pyports to Cedar House, taking in Church Street, River Hill, Mill Road and the 12th-century Church of St Andrew. Plough Corner, designated in 1990, covers the group of buildings around Downside Road and Plough Lane together with part of Cobham Park, and Downside Village, designated in 1979 and extended in 2014, is a green surrounded mostly by 19th-century cottages, set entirely in the Green Belt. On the visible slopes of houses in any of these, repairs usually need to match what’s already there — the same clay tile or slate, the same ridge and the same lead detailing — and if a building is listed, changes to the roof may need consent before work starts. We’ll check your address and explain what applies before we quote.
The old village sits on low-lying land just north of the Mole, and between the trees along the river, the commons and Painshill Park, a lot of Cobham’s roofs sit in shade for much of the day. That means leaf-filled gutters every autumn and moss on north-facing slopes are the two things we keep the closest eye on here.
What it actually costs
Roof costs in Cobham vary more than in most places we cover, because the houses do. A repair on a Downside cottage or a Victorian semi near the station is a very different job from re-roofing a large Fairmile house with hips, valleys, dormers and long runs of guttering, where scaffolding alone is a bigger share of the price, and matching handmade clay tile or reclaimed slate on an older village house costs more than fitting standard modern tile. Roof cleaning and moss removal starts from £499 and gutter cleaning and repairs from £39; anything larger, like a full re-roof or a new flat roof on an extension, gets a fixed price after a free, no-obligation estimate rather than a phone-quote guess. If you’re weighing up a repair against a full replacement, the honest answer depends on the roof’s age and how localised the damage is — we’ll tell you which one makes sense rather than upselling a new roof when a repair will do the job for years yet.
