FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Minor repairs like replacing a few tiles or re-sealing a flashing typically cost £150–£400 in West London. More complex work such as valley replacements, chimney re-pointing or ridge re-bedding runs £400–£900. We give free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact cost before we start.
Yes — most roof problems in West London are localised and can be fixed without a full re-roof. We carry a stock of common tile types including concrete interlocking, plain concrete, and clay tiles to match existing West London roofs.
For standard repairs we typically inspect within 2-3 days and complete work within a week of the quote being accepted. Emergency repairs including storm damage, active leaks and structural concerns are same-day where possible.
It depends on the height and location of the repair. Single-storey work and accessible areas can often be done from ladders. Two-storey work and anything involving parapets, chimneys or valley gutters will require scaffold. We include scaffold costs in every quote — no surprises.
All repair work carries our written workmanship guarantee. The length depends on the type of repair — patch fixes carry a 2-year guarantee, while comprehensive repairs and re-roofing carry a full 10-year guarantee.
Storm damage, falling trees and sudden structural failures are typically covered by buildings insurance. General wear and tear, moss damage and age-related deterioration are not. We can provide the documentation your insurer needs including photographs, a scope of work and a detailed quote.
If damage is localised to a small area and the underlying structure is sound, repair is usually the right approach. If more than 30% of the covering has failed, the battens are rotten, or the structure has moved, a full replacement is more cost-effective long-term. We will always tell you honestly which option makes sense.
Our Process — What to Expect
Every roof repair we carry out follows the same disciplined process. First, a visual inspection from scaffold or ladder level — we photograph every defect and measure the extent of damage before quoting. Second, a clear written quote with an itemised scope of work, materials specification and realistic timeline. Third, the repair itself — carried out by our own team, not subcontractors, using materials we have specified for the conditions. Fourth, a post-completion inspection and photographic record. This process ensures you know exactly what was found, what was done, and what guarantee applies.
1930s Metroland semis (Ruislip, Kenton, Pinner, Wembley): concrete tile nail sickness, hip and valley lead fatigue, ridge re-bedding, chimney stack deterioration. Typical repair: £200-700.
Georgian and period properties (Richmond, Chiswick, Barnes, Hammersmith): Welsh slate matching, conservation-grade lead work, lime mortar repointing, structural timber repair. Typical repair: £400-1,200.
Honest advice
How to Tell You Need Roof Repairs
Not every damp patch means a major repair. Here is how to tell whether you need a roofer or whether it is something simpler.
Damp patch on an upstairs ceiling after rain
Missing, cracked or slipped tiles visible from the ground
Daylight visible through the roof boards in the loft
Moss or debris falling into gutters from above
Lead flashing lifted or cracked around a chimney or wall junction
Ridge tiles rocking or mortar crumbling along the ridge line
When it is not the answer: If more than 30-40% of the covering has failed, repairing tile by tile is money wasted. Read the full guide.
Pitched roof anatomy — most leaks start at junctions and fixings, not the tiles themselves.The process

Access
Getting Safely onto West London Roofs
Most repairs run from towers or roof ladders. Scaffold is quoted only where the job needs safe standing time at height. Scaffold is specified for: chimney-side repairs, full valley rebuilds, ridge work on steep pitches, anything beyond a day at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian terraces across Fulham, Kilburn and Willesden mean rear-access scaffold and pavement permits on busy residential streets. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through the relevant borough council (Ealing, Hounslow, Hillingdon, Harrow, Brent, Richmond or Hammersmith & Fulham); allow a few working days on streets like Fulham Palace Road, Kilburn High Road, King Street Hammersmith, Askew Road where space is tight.

Good to know
Disruption, Mess & Weather
A day of ladder or scaffold work, a small amount of tile debris. We sheet below the work area and clear before we leave. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Repairs run year-round. Temporary weatherproofing goes on the same day if rain stops play. Thames corridor humidity slows drying times on riverside properties in Barnes, Chiswick and Hammersmith; elevated Harrow Hill sites face 15-20% higher wind loading.
