When repair is no longer economic, a full roof replacement gives your home another 40-60 years of weatherproof protection. We strip back to the rafters, inspect and replace any damaged timbers, install new felt, battens and tiles to current Building Regulations, and leave you with a roof built to last.
Before any re-roof in Greenford, we conduct a full structural survey — checking rafters, purlins, wall plates and ridge boards for rot, woodworm and movement. Greenford properties built in the 1930s Metroland era often have specific structural characteristics that affect the specification.
A typical re-roof in Greenford takes 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. Day one: scaffold erection and strip. Day two: timber inspection, replacement and felting. Days three to five: battening and tiling. Final day: ridge, hip and lead detailing. We work rain or shine — once the old covering is off, we do not leave your roof exposed overnight.
A properly specified and installed roof in Greenford using quality tiles and modern breathable membrane will last 50-60 years minimum. The key variable is specification — we choose materials that suit Greenford's specific exposure conditions, not the cheapest option in the yard.

Ealing's roofing heritage reflects its growth as a Victorian and Edwardian suburb. The earliest surviving roofs on properties around Haven Green and Ealing Broadway date from the 1880s — handmade clay peg tiles on steep pitches with decorative ridge tiles that are now almost impossible to source new. The 1930s building boom brought concrete interlocking tiles to the newer estates across Pitshanger, Northfields and South Ealing, and these roofs are now 85-90 years old and approaching the end of their design life.
Ealing's tree-lined streets create specific seasonal roofing challenges. Autumn brings heavy leaf fall from the mature London planes, limes and oaks that shade residential streets — blocked gutters, valley obstructions and moss-promoting debris accumulation are the predictable result. Winter frost affects the older clay tile stock more severely than modern concrete — water trapped in micro-cracks expands and spalls tile surfaces, a process that accelerates once the protective patina is lost.
A well-maintained roof in Ealing directly affects property value. With average house prices in W5 exceeding £700,000, a deteriorating roof can reduce sale value by £15,000-25,000 — far more than the cost of timely repair or replacement. Buyers and surveyors in Ealing are experienced enough to spot deferred roof maintenance, and mortgage lenders will flag roof condition on valuation reports.
A full roof replacement is a significant project and we treat it accordingly. The process begins with a thorough structural survey — not just looking at the tiles, but inspecting rafters, purlins, wall plates and ridge boards for rot, woodworm and structural movement. We then specify the complete system: breathable membrane, treated battens, tile or slate covering, ridge and hip detailing, lead flashings and ventilation. You receive a fully itemised quote breaking down every component so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
The tile or slate you choose affects both the appearance and the longevity of your new roof. Concrete interlocking tiles are the most cost-effective option and suit most post-war and modern properties. Plain concrete tiles give a more traditional appearance at moderate additional cost. Clay tiles offer premium aesthetics and 60-80 year lifespans. Natural slate is the highest specification — a Welsh slate roof will outlast the building beneath it. We present all options with realistic prices so you can make an informed choice.
Every full roof replacement carries our 10-year workmanship guarantee covering both materials and labour. This is a written, transferable guarantee — if you sell the property within 10 years, the guarantee passes to the new owner. Tile and slate manufacturers provide separate product guarantees of 15-30 years depending on the material chosen. Your new roof is protected for decades.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Just an honest quote from a local Greenford roofer who turns up when they say they will.
