Roofers & Builders in Guildford, Surrey
Roof repairs, new roofs, extensions and renovations for homes across Guildford, from the Victorian terraces of Charlotteville to the family housing of Merrow and Stoughton.
Introduction
Guildford’s housing runs from Victorian terraces in Charlotteville and the streets near the castle, to the more spacious period and modern properties of West Guildford, and the family semis and detached homes further out in Merrow, Stoughton and Burpham. Delmere Projects Ltd works across all of it, from re-roofing and window replacement on the town’s older terraces to extensions, loft conversions and renovations on its larger family housing.
As the county town, Guildford has a wide spread of building ages and styles in a relatively small area, which means getting the right materials and approach for a specific street matters more here than in a more uniform town. Every job is quoted in writing before work begins.
Roofing in Guildford
Guildford’s roofs range from Victorian terraces in Charlotteville near the centre to family semis and detached homes further out in Merrow, Stoughton and Burpham. Delmere’s roofing work here covers repairs, full re-roofs, and both slate and flat roofing, with every job starting with a drone survey rather than a guess from the ground.
Roof Repairs Diagnosed with a drone survey before any work is quoted, from Victorian terraces in Charlotteville to later properties further out, so the actual cause is identified before any work starts.
New Roofs Full re-roofs are carried out with breathable underlay, treated battens, and properly lead-dressed valleys and abutments as standard, with materials matched to the existing property, from period terraces to more recent builds.
Slate Roofs Delmere fits both natural slate (Welsh or Spanish) and fibre cement or reconstituted slate alternatives, and advises on which suits a given property and budget, including Charlotteville’s Victorian terraces.
Flat Roofs Flat roofing on rear extensions, garages and outbuildings is fitted in felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, chosen for the specific application rather than defaulted to whichever is cheapest.

Building Work in Guildford
Guildford’s family semis and detached homes in Merrow, Stoughton and Burpham often suit extension and loft conversion work more readily than the terraced streets nearer the centre. Delmere carries out extensions, loft conversions and garage and outbuilding conversions across the town, with planning and building regs support handled in-house on some projects and alongside a client’s own architect on others.
Rear & Side Extensions Extensions for family homes across Merrow, Stoughton and Burpham are designed to fit the existing plot and street, with planning and building regs support available where needed.
Loft Conversions Dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard conversions are all carried out, a practical way to add space on the town’s semi-detached and terraced streets.
