New Roofs in Richmond

New Roofs in Richmond

Natural slate is one of the most durable roof coverings available, and a well-laid slate roof keeps a building dry for a very long time. Quality varies by source, so the slate chosen matters as much as the fixing. Clay plain tiles are offered too, where the style of the building suits them better than slate. Ashlar Roofing installs new slate and tiled roofs in Richmond, across TW9 and TW10 within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.

Each slate is nailed or hooked to new treated battens over a breathable membrane, with gauge and lap set to suit the roof pitch. Lead flashings, soakers and valleys are renewed with the covering. Ridge and hip details are finished in tile or with a dry system to suit the roof. If your property is in a conservation area, Richmond upon Thames Council can advise on materials before you commit. The quote names the slate proposed so you can compare it.

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

What a New Roof Costs in Richmond

Slate choice and detailing both affect what a Richmond re-roof costs, as do:

  • 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 Richmond 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

Richmond Re-Roofing Questions

How should I prepare my Richmond 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.

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 Richmond?

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.

Do you install new roofs on commercial buildings?

Yes. Ashlar Roofing carries out domestic and commercial roofing, including pitched roofs on shops, offices and blocks of flats.
