New Roofs in East Ham

Re-Roofing in East Ham

London's Victorian and Edwardian terraces were mostly built with natural slate or clay tile roofs, and many have now reached the point where the original fixings and timbers are tired. Slates slip, tiles crack and the original underlay, where there is any, has long since failed. Where a roof like that needs replacing, Ashlar Roofing re-roofs houses in East Ham and across E6 and the London Borough of Newham, using materials that keep the character of the building.

On a terrace, a new roof is planned with the neighbours in mind. The party wall line is finished neatly against the adjoining roof, shared chimney stacks are flashed correctly and scaffolding is set up to respect the properties either side. Where neighbours have already re-roofed, the new roof is detailed to meet theirs cleanly. We explain these details on the survey and include them in a quote for you to agree before anything starts.

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.

Pricing

Pricing a New Roof in East Ham

In East Ham, re-roofing is priced around:

  • The size and shape of the roof, including hips, valleys and dormers
  • The covering chosen: natural slate, clay tiles or concrete tiles
  • Scaffolding for safe access, which depends on the building's height and the street
  • The condition of the rafters and any timber repairs found once the roof is stripped
  • Extra work such as leadwork, chimney repairs, fascias, soffits or guttering

How it works

How New Roofs in East Ham 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

New Roof Questions from East Ham Homeowners

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.

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

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

Can fascias, soffits and guttering be replaced at the same time?

Yes. Roofline and guttering work fits naturally into a re-roof because the scaffolding is already in place, which avoids paying for access twice.

What details help you price a re-roof in East Ham?

Your postcode, the type of property, the current covering and any known problems. Photos of the roof from the street or garden, sent on WhatsApp, help us prepare for the survey.
