New Roofs in Southall

A New Slate or Tiled Roof in Southall

Interlocking concrete tiles are found on a great many London homes, and when they reach the end of their life the choice is whether to replace like for like or switch to something lighter. Weight, appearance and the pitch of the roof all shape that decision, and each option has its own fixing method. Ashlar Roofing installs new roofs in Southall, across UB1 and UB2 and the London Borough of Ealing, in concrete tile, clay tile or natural slate.

Concrete tiles are a cost-effective choice and lay quickly over a large area. Clay and slate cost more but are lighter and change the appearance of the house. Whichever you choose, the roof is stripped to the rafters, timbers are checked and a new membrane and battens are fitted first. The survey includes a look at the roof structure, and the quote sets out each option side by side. The choice is yours once you have seen the figures.

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 Southall 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 Southall Homeowners

Will my house be open to the weather during a re-roof?

No. The roof is stripped and recovered in stages, with membrane fitted as work progresses, so the house is kept weathertight at the end of each working day.

Is Southall within your re-roofing area?

Yes. Ashlar Roofing covers Southall and the UB1 and UB2 postcodes as part of our work across Greater London, replacing slate and tiled roofs on houses and commercial buildings.

Does a new roof need Building Regulations approval?

Re-roofing more than a quarter of the roof area usually counts as notifiable work and may mean upgrading the insulation. We explain what applies to your roof when we quote.

Will scaffolding block the pavement outside my Southall home?

If the scaffold stands on the pavement or road, a licence from Ealing Council is normally needed, and the scaffolder arranges it. The setup is planned to keep a safe route for pedestrians.
