Roofer in Sidcup: local knowledge
Sidcup's 1930s and post-war housing stock has two recurring roofing weak points: bay window roofs and porch roofs. The 1930s bay windows typically have small hipped roofs covered in lead or felt, and after 90 years the lead has cracked at the folds or the felt has perished entirely. The flat-roofed porches added to many post-war properties in the 1960s have similar felt failures. Both are relatively small roof areas but they cause disproportionate damp problems because they sit directly above living spaces.

Pro tip for Sidcup homeowners
When replacing a porch or bay roof on a Sidcup property, consider GRP (fibreglass) as well as EPDM rubber. GRP is laid as a liquid resin with fibreglass mat and cures into a seamless, rigid shell — ideal for small flat roofs where EPDM's flexibility is less critical. GRP gives a very clean finish on porch roofs and can be colour-matched to the property if aesthetics matter.
Roofing in Sidcup: what we typically see
Sidcup is a quiet suburban area with tree-lined streets of 1930s and post-war houses. Most properties have good-sized gardens and driveways. The housing is well maintained but a lot of it is now reaching the age where boilers, roofs, and electrics need updating. We regularly work on 1930s semi-detached houses, post-war detached houses, bungalows, and newer estate housing across DA15.
The roofing issues we see most often in Sidcup depend on the age of the property. Victorian houses typically have original slate roofs where slates slip, crack, or go missing over time. 1930s properties tend to have concrete interlocking tiles that become porous and start letting water through after 60 or 70 years. Post-war houses often have flat felt roofs on rear and side extensions that blister, split, and eventually fail. Locally, ageing boilers and heating systems in 1930s stock is something we deal with regularly. The main causes are weather exposure, age, and lack of routine maintenance.
Gutters and fascias go hand in hand with roofing work. Blocked or broken gutters cause water to overflow down walls, which leads to damp inside. We clean, repair, and replace guttering in uPVC, aluminium, or cast iron depending on the property and what suits it best.

What is the best material for replacing my Sidcup porch roof — felt, EPDM, or GRP?
For porch roofs on Sidcup's 1930s and post-war houses, we generally recommend either EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass over traditional felt. Felt is the cheapest option but has the shortest lifespan (10-15 years). EPDM is a flexible rubber membrane that comes with a 25-year guarantee and works well on larger flat areas. GRP is a rigid fibreglass system that gives a very neat finish and is particularly good for smaller areas like porches where its seamless, hard-wearing surface is an advantage. We can assess your porch and recommend the best option based on its size, condition, and your budget.
