Roofing Works

As a North London builder offering roofing services, we provide a range of options to suit your needs:

  • Roof Replacement: Completely replacing an existing roof that is beyond repair or has reached the end of its lifespan. This involves removing the old roofing materials and installing new ones.
  • Skylight Installation and Repair: Installing skylights to bring natural light into a building or repairing existing skylights to address leaks or other issues.
  • Roof Repair: Fixing issues such as leaks, damaged shingles, or structural damage to ensure the roof’s integrity and prevent further damage.
  • Leak Detection and Repair: Identifying and repairing leaks in the roof, which may involve patching damaged areas, replacing damaged shingles, or addressing issues with flashing.
  • Gutter Installation and Repair: Installing new gutters or repairing existing ones to ensure proper drainage and prevent water damage to the roof and foundation.

Roofing Materials

We work with various materials for roofing, each offering different benefits in terms of durability, aesthetics, and cost. Here are common roofing materials:

  • Slate Tiles: Highly durable and resistant to fire, slate tiles offer a natural and elegant appearance. They are heavier, requiring proper structural support.
  • Clay Tiles: Known for their distinctive appearance, clay tiles are durable and resistant to fire. They are often used in Mediterranean and Spanish-style architecture.
  • Synthetic Roofing Materials: Synthetic materials like composite shingles or polymer-based roofing imitate the look of traditional materials but offer enhanced durability and performance.

Our roofing team collaborates with you in choosing materials that perfectly complement your design preferences, guaranteeing that your roof not only enhances the aesthetics of your home but also stands the test of time as a durable addition.

Timeline for a New Roof

The timeline for a new roof installation can vary based on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, weather conditions, and the specific materials being used. Here’s a general breakdown of the timeline:

  • Removal of Old Roof (up to 1 week):
    • The existing roofing materials are removed to prepare for the new roof.
  • Structural Repairs (if needed) (1-2 weeks):
    • Any necessary repairs to the roof structure are addressed before installation.
  • Installation of New Roof (1-2 weeks):
    • The new roofing materials are installed, starting from the base layer up.
    • The timeline can be affected by the complexity of the roof design and weather conditions.
  • Clean-Up and Final Touches (1-2 days):
    • Debris is removed, and final touches, such as flashing installation, are completed.

We understand the significance of completing projects on schedule and are dedicated to building the new roof within the agreed-upon timeframe.

How Much Does A New Roof Cost?

The costs of a new roof can differ due to various factors like the size and complexity of the roof, chosen materials, and labor expenses.

Other considerations, such as planning permission and site-specific challenges, may also influence the overall cost.

Understanding that each client has distinct needs and budget constraints, we work closely with you to provide a detailed estimate.

Our commitment is to offer clear and competitive pricing, ensuring that your new roof can be customised to meet your budget preferences.

Planning Permission

In most cases, replacing a roof without altering its structure or appearance is considered “permitted development” and does not require planning permission in London. However, there are exceptions and specific conditions that must be met:

  • Material Changes: If you plan to use significantly different materials, especially in a conservation area, planning permission may be needed.
  • Dormer Windows or Extensions: Adding or altering dormer windows or extending the roof space could require planning permission.
  • Listed Buildings: If your property is listed, additional permissions may be necessary.
  • Local Restrictions: Some local authorities may have additional restrictions or requirements.

While planning permission may not be required, it’s important to consider building regulations. Building regulations are separate from planning permission and focus on the structural integrity and safety of the construction work.

Consult with your local planning authority or a professional to confirm the specific requirements for your project.
