A complete roof built from a sound base
Repair options considered
We recommend replacement when the condition makes it sensible.
Hidden layers inspected
Stripping lets us check membranes, battens, decking and structure.
Old materials removed
The project includes clearing stripped roofing from the property.
Know when another patch is false economy
Repeated repairs can become a poor use of money when coverings fail across a wide area or water keeps finding new routes inside. A roof replacement may also be needed when membranes, battens, decking or other supporting layers have deteriorated. We assess London properties to establish whether renewal should cover the outer material alone or the wider roof build-up. Roof form, material condition and the structure beneath all shape that decision. We'll explain why replacement is being considered and distinguish necessary work from details that can remain. You receive a free quote based on the scope we can reasonably establish.
Strip, inspect and rebuild with care
Replacement starts with safe access, protection of the building and an agreed plan for removing old material. As we strip the roof, we inspect the exposed structure and confirm whether its condition matches what could be seen beforehand. We prepare the support, fit the new build-up and complete coverings, ridges, verges, flashings and drainage details. Scaffolding, material handling, weather and hidden deterioration can affect the programme. We keep the building protected during the work and explain any change in scope before dealing with newly uncovered defects.
Frequently asked questions
How do we know if the whole roof needs replacing?
Signs can include widespread covering failure, repeated leaks and deterioration across membranes, battens or decking. We inspect the roof and explain whether a targeted repair still makes sense or replacement gives a sounder outcome.
Can the scope change after the old roof is stripped?
It can. Some defects remain hidden until coverings come off, particularly in battens, decking or supporting timber. We assess exposed areas as work progresses and explain any additional repair needed before changing the agreed scope.
How is the building protected during replacement?
We plan the stripping sequence around safe access and workable weather, and protect exposed areas as the project moves forward. The exact method depends on the roof form, site and conditions, which we discuss before work begins.
