New Roofs in Ealing

Replacing Your Roof in Ealing

A re-roof is a rare chance to improve how the top of the house performs. Modern breathable membranes let moisture escape from the loft, ventilation at the eaves and ridge reduces condensation and, where needed, insulation can be upgraded to meet current Building Regulations. These improvements are far easier to include now than after the roof is finished. Ashlar Roofing installs new roofs in Ealing, across W5 and W13 and the wider London Borough of Ealing.

Older roofs often have bitumen felt underlay that has torn or sagged, letting dust and draughts in and trapping damp. Replacing it alongside the covering gives the timbers a better environment. Eaves vents and ridge vents are placed so air can move through the loft without letting rain in. We will explain how ventilation and insulation fit with your plans for the loft and include them in a clear quote. Work goes ahead once you have agreed the scope.

What's included

What a Full Re-Roof Includes

The main parts of the job, each listed in your quote.

  • Stripping the old tiles or slates, battens and underlay, so the new roof starts from the rafters with nothing hidden.
  • Checking and repairing rafters and other timbers, giving the new covering a sound, level structure to sit on.
  • New breathable membrane and treated battens, which keep wind-driven rain out and help the loft ventilate.
  • Your choice of covering, including natural slate, clay or concrete tiles, to suit the property and any planning guidance.
  • New ridge, hip and valley details, including dry ridge systems that are mechanically fixed rather than relying on mortar alone.
  • Leadwork and flashings renewed where the roof meets chimneys, walls and dormers, the points most likely to leak.

How it works

How New Roofs in Ealing Is Arranged

What happens from your first call or message to the finished work.

  1. Survey and Options

    We look at the roof, the loft and the existing materials, then discuss coverings that suit the house and any conservation area requirements.

  2. Agreeing the Quote

    You receive a written quote setting out materials, scaffolding and timber repairs, agreed with you before work starts.

  3. Strip and Rebuild

    Once the scaffold is up, the old roof is stripped, timbers are checked and the new membrane, battens and covering are fixed, with the roof kept weathertight overnight.

  4. Finishing Details

    Ridges, valleys, leadwork and roofline are completed, then we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

What Ealing Owners Ask About Replacing a Roof

Can I switch from concrete tiles to slate on my Ealing house?

Often, yes, and as slate is lighter than concrete tile, the existing structure can usually carry it. In a conservation area Ealing Council may have a view on materials, so it is worth checking before you decide.

How do I know if I need a new roof rather than repairs?

Signs include widespread slipped or cracked tiles, slates sliding because their nails have rusted, sagging between rafters, daylight through the roof and repeated leaks in different places. When repairs keep coming back, a re-roof often makes more sense.

How should I prepare my Ealing home for a re-roof?

Clear the loft if you can, or cover stored items with sheets, as some dust falls through during stripping. Let your neighbours know about the scaffolding, and make space for materials if your property allows.

Do I need scaffolding for a new roof?

Yes. A full re-roof needs scaffolding for safe access and edge protection. Where it has to stand on a pavement or road, a licence from the council is normally required, which is factored into the timing.
