Roofline Services across Greater London

Your roofline is the band of boards running along the eaves and gable ends. Fascias carry the gutters, soffits close off the underside of the overhang and bargeboards finish the gable edge. On many London houses these are still painted timber, and once the paint fails, water soaks in and the wood starts to rot. Rotten boards let gutters sag, give birds and wasps a way into the roof space and leave the ends of the rafters exposed to the weather. Ashlar Roofing replaces tired timber with uPVC that never needs painting and keeps its shape.

We look at the whole edge of the roof rather than one board in isolation. That means checking the rafter feet and the felt or membrane at the eaves, making sure the roof space can breathe through vented soffits or over-fascia vents, and setting new gutters to a steady fall. Where the timber is sound and you want a lower-cost option, cappings can be fitted over it, and we will say plainly when the boards underneath are too far gone for that. Because roofs, roofline and walls are all handled by one firm, related faults can be fixed while the access is up.
