Re-Roofing in Twickenham

Patching a tired roof every winter can end up costing more than replacing it, and each repair only buys a little time if the underlay and fixings beneath are failing. Water that keeps getting past failing underlay also reaches the battens and rafters, which adds timber work to the eventual re-roof. When the balance tips, Ashlar Roofing can replace the roof on your Twickenham home, working across TW1 and TW2 and the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.

The survey shows which side of that line your roof is on. Where a section can be repaired, we say so. Where the whole slope or roof is failing, we quote for a complete strip and re-roof with new membrane, battens, covering and leadwork. You decide which route to take once you have seen the findings. The quote is in writing and agreed before work begins, and roofline items can be added while the scaffold is up.

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

Re-Roofing Costs in Twickenham

Set against the cost of repeated repairs, a Twickenham re-roof is priced on:

  • 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 Twickenham 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 Twickenham Owners Ask About Replacing a Roof

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.

Do I need permission to re-roof my house in Twickenham?

Re-roofing with similar materials does not usually need planning permission. If your home is in a conservation area, is listed, or you would like a different material, check with Richmond upon Thames Council first.

What is a dry ridge system?

A dry ridge system fixes ridge tiles mechanically with clips and seals instead of bedding them only in mortar. It needs less maintenance, because there is no mortar to crack and wash out over time.

Do you re-roof commercial property in Twickenham?

Yes. We take on commercial re-roofing across Richmond upon Thames, including shops with flats above and office buildings, and plan access to limit disruption.
