Residential Roofing London

We work with a wide selection of materials to suit style, budget, and longevity: slate, roof tiles (clay, concrete), flat roof membranes (e.g. EPDM/rubber), lead roofing, felt, and combinations thereof (for example, tile-roofed main roofs with flat roofs on extensions or garages). We also ensure that the character of your home matches perfectly.

Key signs include leaking or water damage inside the home, broken or missing tiles/slats, sagging, excessive moss or vegetation, visible deterioration of flashing or lead work, and deteriorated underlayment or boarding. Sometimes, the age of the roof and the condition of the insulation also indicate whether a replacement is more cost-effective than repeated repairs.

Spring and autumn are usually ideal — milder weather makes installations easier, materials perform better, and the risk of extreme storms is lower. That said, emergency repairs or maintenance can be done year-round, and we plan carefully around the weather to minimise issues.

It depends on the size and complexity of the roof, the chosen material, access, and any necessary structural work. A standard pitched roof for a typical home might take a few days; more complex roofs (multiple hips or valleys, dormers, steep pitches) or replacement of the roof structure could take longer.

Yes — and that's part of what we do carefully. We'll help you choose materials and finishes that match or complement your home's current style (tiles, slates, colours), ensure flashings, ridge details, and other features look appropriate, and preserve character where necessary. A high-quality roof should both protect and enhance appearance.

Costs vary significantly, depending on the size of the roof, material, complexity, extent of damage, whether structural repairs are required, whether insulation or internal works are involved, access, and whether scaffolding or permits are necessary. After conducting a survey, we will provide you with a detailed and transparent quote, allowing you to understand the cost of each element.

Yes — we provide maintenance services. Regular checks (once or twice a year, especially after winter or storms), clearing moss or debris, inspecting and repairing flashing and gutters, help extend roof life and reduce unexpected repairs. Proactive maintenance is one of the best investments in preserving your roof.

Not necessarily. Modern materials, such as EPDM rubber, combined with proper installation, effective drainage, regular maintenance, and correct construction, can make flat roofs very durable. They can also be more cost-effective in specific locations (e.g. extensions, garages). The right choice depends on your design, budget, and aesthetic goals.

In many cases, yes. Some works (e.g., replacing roof materials, re-tiling) may be permitted under permitted development, but structural changes, changes in roof pitch, additions of rooflights or dormers, or works in conservation or listed areas often require planning permission. We advise you on compliance and handle the necessary tasks to ensure compliance.

We combine skilled craftsmanship, high-quality materials, attention to detail, and customer service. From a proper site survey through to final finish, we aim to protect your home with a roof that looks good, performs well, and lasts. We understand local London conditions (aesthetics and regulations) and tailor our solutions accordingly so that you can have peace of mind.
