Knowing when replacement makes sense
Repeated leaks, extensive covering damage or underlying defects can make a full replacement more sensible than repeated patch repairs. We assess the condition and discuss whether local repairs are still viable.

What this service involves
Tiled and slate roofing
We work on tiled and slate roofs and assess appropriate coverings and details for the roof. Correct fixing, ventilation, underlay, battens and weatherproof junctions all matter in a replacement project.
What happens during a roof replacement?
The scope depends on the property. Work may include protecting the site, removing existing coverings, inspecting underlying areas, making necessary repairs, installing the roofing system and finishing ridges, verges, flashings and gutters.
Planning and access
Roof replacements may require scaffold access, waste arrangements and attention to any applicable building requirements. We discuss what is included in a quotation before the job starts.

Choosing a new tiled, slate or felt roof
A full roof replacement is a significant decision. The existing tiles or slates, underlay, battens, ridge details, ventilation, roof shape and lead flashings all affect the specification. An inspection helps clarify which parts can remain and which need renewing so a quotation describes the proposed work clearly.
Roof installation for pitched roofs and extensions
New roof projects may involve tiled or slate pitched roofs, or a flat felt covering on a rear addition. Drainage, junctions with adjoining walls, safe access and waste removal all deserve attention. We can discuss suitable materials, practical sequencing and how the finished roof should shed rainwater.
Do I need a new roof because I have a leak?
Not automatically. Small isolated defects may be handled through targeted roof repairs. For more extensive wear we can discuss the choices and costs of replacement. We can also consider associated leadwork and gutters and fascias within the same quotation.
What goes into a clear new-roof quotation?
Replacing a roof is not simply exchanging old tiles for new ones. The condition of the roof structure, battens, underlay, ridge design, ventilation and flashings will affect the specification. It also helps to establish whether access or neighbouring roof junctions need special consideration before work begins.
- Discuss tile, slate or suitable flat-roof covering options.
- Identify which existing materials will be stripped, retained or replaced.
- Specify underlay, battens, ridge details and ventilation arrangements.
- Consider chimney flashings, valleys and party-wall lead dressing.
- Review the roof structure and any signs of damp or timber damage.
- Explain how rainwater will reach gutters and downpipes.
- Allow for appropriate safe access, protection and waste removal.
- Discuss warranties and any relevant permissions or building requirements.
New-roof questions worth asking
Do I have to replace my whole roof because tiles are slipping? No. The reason for movement and the state of adjacent materials need assessing. Some faults are local; others reveal more widespread deterioration.
Can a pitched roof and flat extension be quoted together? Yes, it can be sensible to review junctions and drainage as one project while specifying each covering separately.
Does a new covering fix an existing chimney leak? Only if the defective flashing or masonry junction is addressed in the specification. A replacement should not ignore adjoining details.
If you're considering a new slate roof, tiled roof, extension roof or full roof replacement across West London, we can discuss materials and provide a scope-based quotation. Prices and guarantees should follow the actual agreed works rather than a generic online promise.
