Roofers & Builders in Chobham, Surrey
Roof repairs, new roofs, extensions and renovations from a family-run team who’ve worked on homes across Chobham and the surrounding Surrey countryside for over 36 years.
Introduction
Chobham’s mix of village-centre cottages, larger detached homes around Valley End and Burrow Hill, and the equestrian properties bordering Chobham Common means no two jobs here look the same. Delmere Projects Ltd works on all of it: repointing and re-roofing older cottages near the High Street, extending 1960s and 70s detached homes to fit growing families, and converting garages and outbuildings on the bigger rural plots into home offices, annexes or gyms.
The village’s proximity to Chobham Common, one of the largest lowland heaths in the country, means a lot of local homes sit on generous plots with stables, garaging and outbuildings that get pressed into new uses as families’ needs change, alongside the more straightforward roof repairs and refurbishments every property eventually needs. Every job is quoted in writing before work begins, whether it’s a single repair or a full extension.
Roofing in Chobham
Chobham’s roofs range from clay tile and slate on the village’s older cottages to larger, more exposed roofs on the detached homes around Valley End and Burrow Hill, and the rural properties bordering Chobham Common see more than their share of storm and wind damage given how open the surrounding heath and farmland is. 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 Slipped tiles, cracked ridges and storm damage are the most common call-outs in Chobham, particularly on older cottages where ridge mortar has aged and on larger properties exposed to wind off the common. A drone survey identifies the actual cause before any work is quoted, rather than patching the first visible fault.
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 property rather than whatever’s quickest to source. This matters on the village’s older cottages, where a mismatched roof stands out immediately.
Slate Roofs Delmere fits both natural slate (Welsh or Spanish) and fibre cement or reconstituted slate alternatives, and advises on which is appropriate for a given property and budget. Natural slate suits Chobham’s older cottages particularly well, where matching the existing roof’s character matters.
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. This matters given how many of Chobham’s larger plots have outbuildings with flat-roofed sections.

Home Renovations & Refurbishments in Chobham
Whether it’s a single room or a whole property, Delmere offers both a full design-and-build service and building to a design a client or architect has already produced, depending on how much input the homeowner wants. This covers Chobham’s older cottages, which usually need renovations planned around existing proportions and period features, as well as the village’s larger detached homes.
Whole-Home Refurbishments Full refurbishment projects, from a single room through to a whole property, project-managed from design or specification through to completion.
Kitchens Kitchen renovations designed and project-managed from scratch, or built to a design already commissioned, with structural changes handled where the layout needs to open up.
Bathrooms Full bathroom renovations and refits, including structural work where plumbing or layout changes are needed.
Home Modernisation Updating a dated property (layout, finishes, windows, doors and joinery) without stripping out the character that makes an older Chobham cottage worth keeping in the first place.
Building Work in Chobham
Chobham’s larger plots, particularly around the common and the equestrian properties bordering it, mean building projects here often have more room to work with than a typical suburban estate. Delmere carries out extensions, loft conversions and garage and outbuilding conversions across the village, with planning and building regs support handled in-house on some projects and alongside a client’s own architect on others, depending on what’s needed.
Rear & Side Extensions Extensions are designed to suit the property and make use of the space available, which on Chobham’s bigger plots often means more scope than a standard side-return or single-storey rear addition.
Loft Conversions Dormer, hip-to-gable and mansard conversions are all carried out, matched to the roof structure and planning position of the property. It’s a common way to add a bedroom or office on the village’s 1930s to 1960s detached stock without extending the footprint.
Garage & Outbuilding Conversions A regular project on Chobham’s rural plots, converting a garage, stable outbuilding or similar structure into a home office, annexe or gym, or a garage-to-kitchen extension where that suits the layout better.
