Our New Roof Installation Services

Every property is different. We match your new roof to your building, your plans and your budget.

New Roofs for New-Build Properties

Building a new home? We fit the roof covering to your plans and keep to your schedule. We work from the battens up to the ridge tiles.

Roof Installation for House Extensions and Conversions

Adding an extension, loft conversion or garage? We build roofs that join neatly with your existing home. We seal every joint to keep the rain out.

Complete Roof Replacement London

Is your roof worn out? We strip the old covering, check the timbers and fit a fresh roof. Read more on our Roof Replacement London page.

Flat Roof Installation London

We fit flat roofs on extensions, garages and shops. Good drainage stops water from pooling. See our Flat Roofing London service for more.

Pitched Roof Installation London

We install pitched roofs with tiles or slate. A pitched roof sheds water fast and suits many London homes.

New Roof Installation for Homes and Commercial Properties

Do you need a residential or a commercial new roof? Every job starts with a careful check. We look at the timbers, underlay, insulation and flashing. Then we match the roof to your property.

Houses, Terraced Homes and Period Properties

We install tiled, slate and flat roofs on houses and terraces. Period homes need extra care, and some parts of London have rules about how roofs should look. So we plan the look and materials with you.

Flats and Apartment Buildings

Blocks of flats need roofs that drain well. We plan the work to keep disruption low for residents.

Shops, Offices and Commercial Buildings

Shops and offices push their roofs hard. Flat roofs must handle foot traffic, equipment and pooling rainwater. We have fitted flat roofs for shops, schools and warehouses. We work around your opening hours, so your business keeps its customers. We often start early in the morning or work at weekends to cut disruption.

Roofing Materials We Use

We only install materials we trust. We help you choose the right one for your property.

Concrete and Clay Roof Tiles

Concrete tiles are a practical choice. Clay tiles give a classic look. We also fit ridge tiles and hip tiles to finish the roof.

Natural and Fibre Cement Roof Slates

Natural slate suits period homes. Fibre cement slates offer a similar look. We fix both with the right roof fixings.

Flat Roofing Materials: EPDM, GRP and Felt

EPDM is a rubber membrane. GRP is fibreglass. Felt is a well-known option. Each one seals your flat roof against water.

Roof Underlay, Battens and Insulation

Underlay adds a second layer of protection. Battens hold your tiles or slates in place. Insulation helps keep your home warm. We also fit gutters and UPVC fascia and soffits London to protect your roof edges.

Our New Roof Installation Process

You want to know what happens and when. So we keep every step clear.

Roof Inspection and Project Assessment

We visit your property and measure the roof. We check its condition and the structure underneath. Then we explain what we find in plain words.

Choosing the Right Roofing Materials

We walk you through your options, from tiles and slate to flat roof systems. You choose with confidence. Then we send a written quote with the full scope of work.

Preparing the Roof Structure

We put up scaffolding for safe access. We remove the old roof covering and replace any damaged timbers. Then we fix new battens and underlay.

Installing the Roof Covering and Flashing

Next, we lay your tiles, slates or flat roof membrane. We add lead flashing around chimneys and joins. We finish the ridges, hips and verges so water stays out.

Roof Finishing, Inspection and Handover

We check your gutters and drainage. We remove all roofing waste. We inspect our own work, then show you the finished roof. You also get simple advice on looking after it.

How Much Does New Roof Installation Cost in London?

Most people ask about price first. We cannot give one fixed price for every roof, because every property is different. We can show you what shapes the cost, and we put your price in writing.

Factors That Affect Roof Installation Costs

Roof size, design, materials, access and repairs all matter. A simple roof costs less than a complex one.

Roof Size, Materials and Labour Costs

A bigger roof needs more materials and more time. Natural slate often costs more than concrete tiles. A steep or complex roof needs more labour.

Scaffolding, Access and Waste Removal

Scaffolding keeps your roofers safe. Tight access can add time. We also remove old roofing waste and dispose of it responsibly. We show these costs in your quote.

Getting a Free Roof Installation Quote

Call us for a free quotation. We inspect your roof and give you upfront pricing with no hidden costs. We never pressure you to say yes.

When Should You Consider a Complete Roof Replacement?

Roof worries build slowly. Then one wet night makes them real. These signs tell you it is time for a new roof.

An Old or Worn Roof

Do you see missing or cracked tiles, slipped slates or heavy moss? Does your roof sag? An old roof gets harder to keep dry every year. Worn tiles, tired slates and ageing felt let water in. A roof inspection shows how much life your roof has left.

Widespread Roof Damage and Recurring Leaks

One patch is a repair. Leaks that keep coming back point to a bigger problem. Look for daylight or damp in your loft and damp patches on your ceiling after rain. Does your flat roof hold water for days? Have you paid for two or three repairs already? If roof problems keep returning, a full inspection can help you decide whether further repairs or a complete replacement offers better value.

Structural Problems and Deteriorated Roof Components

Rotten timbers, a sagging ridge or failing flashing need more than a quick fix. We check the structure first, so you know the true cause.

Roof Repair vs Roof Replacement

We repair roofs too. If a repair solves your problem, we say so. If it does not, we explain why replacement makes sense.

Benefits of Replacing Your Roof

A new roof does more than stop leaks. Better insulation and ventilation can help your home hold heat and reduce condensation. A sound roof also protects your loft, walls and ceilings from water damage. That saves you from far bigger repair bills later. A new roof also lifts your home’s appeal, since buyers often check the roof first. And you stop worrying every time the rain starts.

Building Regulations and Roof Installation Requirements

The rules depend on your property and the work you need. We check them before we start.

Roof Structure and Load Requirements

A roof must stay strong and stable. It must carry the weight of the roof covering, plus wind and rain. We assess your structure before we install.

Roof Insulation and Ventilation

Building regulations may set rules for insulation and ventilation. Good ventilation helps control condensation. Good insulation helps reduce heat loss.

Planning Permission and Building Control

Many roof replacements need no planning permission. Listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to the roof’s shape or height may need it. Some work also needs building control approval. We help you check what applies to your home.
