Roofing Contractors in South London
DL Jones Roofing Services is a South London roofing contractor based in South Croydon, working across the southern boroughs since 1987. This is our home territory: including Croydon, Purley, Bromley, Sutton, Merton, Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Greenwich, Wandsworth and Kingston upon Thames. Being local means faster surveys, faster emergency attendance and lower mobilisation costs than contractors travelling from further afield.
We deliver flat roofing, repairs, surveys, gutter lining and planned maintenance for local authorities, housing associations, schools and property managers across South London. As approved Bauder and Polyroof installers, our roofs carry manufacturer warranties of up to 25 years.
Our Roofing Services in South London
The full range of roofing services is available across the South London boroughs, delivered by our own directly employed teams with full RAMS. The work South London clients ask for most comes first:

- Flat Roofing Services: Bauder, single ply and Polyroof systems for council blocks, schools, garages and flat roofed extensions.
- Pitched Roofing: slate and tile roof replacements, leadwork, chimneys, fascias and soffits for South London’s Victorian terraces and 1930s semis.
- Gutter Lining Systems: seamless linings that stop leaking box and valley gutters on older blocks and commercial buildings.

- Sustainable & Green Roofing: sedum and biodiverse roofs, including schemes working to the London Plan’s Urban Greening Factor.

- Drone Roof Surveys: close inspection of tall blocks and fragile roofs without scaffolding.

Roofing Across the South London Boroughs
South London is where we are based and where we work most. Our teams are regularly on roofs across Croydon, Purley, Bromley, Sutton, Merton, Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Greenwich, Wandsworth and Kingston upon Thames. Being minutes away rather than across the river means we attend emergencies faster and keep mobilisation costs down on planned contracts.
The southern boroughs have a mix of roofs we know well: Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs and valley gutters, 1930s semis with tiled roofs and flat roofed extensions, postwar council estates with large flat roofs, and newer blocks run by managing agents. Each needs a different approach, and we specify the system to suit the building rather than the other way round.
A recent example: for Leaders Property Management we replaced the pitched roofs on two occupied blocks on a housing estate in Mitcham and carried out repairs across the estate, using MEWPs to keep walkways clear for residents. It is the kind of programme we deliver for housing associations and property managers across South London. See more on our projects page.
