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 Hammersmith, we conduct a full structural survey — checking rafters, purlins, wall plates and ridge boards for rot, woodworm and movement. Hammersmith properties built in the Victorian and Edwardian era often have specific structural characteristics that affect the specification.
A typical re-roof in Hammersmith 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 Hammersmith using quality tiles and modern breathable membrane will last 50-60 years minimum. The key variable is specification — we choose materials that suit Hammersmith's specific exposure conditions, not the cheapest option in the yard.
Mix of Georgian riverside properties on Upper Mall and Hammersmith Terrace, Victorian terraces around Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park, and 1960s council estates near the flyover. The area between King Street and the river has some of West London's most valuable period housing. For roof replacement work in Hammersmith, this housing profile means we commonly encounter Thames riverside properties on Upper Mall face flood risk and persistent damp — roof timbers show moisture migration from ground level.

As an inner London borough flanking the Thames, Hammersmith & Fulham experiences the full urban heat island effect — summer roof surface temperatures regularly exceed 60°C, driving extreme thermal cyc

We photograph and report any timber damage before proceeding. Minor rot is cut out and spliced. Severely affected rafters or purlins are replaced. Timber repair costs are quoted separately so you are never surprised.
Yes — in most cases you can remain in your home throughout. There will be noise during working hours and we will need access to your loft space. We sheet up internally to minimise dust.
The main choices are concrete interlocking tiles (most cost-effective), plain concrete tiles (traditional look), clay tiles (premium appearance and lifespan) and natural slate (highest specification).

Hammersmith and Fulham packs more Victorian terraced housing per square mile than almost anywhere in London, and the roofing challenges reflect this density. Fulham's grid streets between Fulham Palace Road and Wandsworth Bridge Road contain thousands of two-storey terraces with the characteristic butterfly roof profile — an M-shaped valley roof where all rainwater channels to a concealed central valley. This design was elegant and space-efficient when built in the 1880s; 140 years later, those central valleys are the most common single point of failure we see across the borough.
As an inner London borough flanking the Thames, Hammersmith and Fulham experiences the full urban heat island effect. Summer roof surface temperatures regularly exceed 60°C, driving extreme thermal cycling on lead, zinc and felt that accelerates material fatigue. The Thames frontage along Hammersmith and Fulham reaches means riverside properties face persistent damp exposure and occasional flood risk. Winter storms funnel between terraced streets, creating localised wind loading that displaces ridge tiles and lifts flashings.
Fulham property prices have risen dramatically — a standard Victorian terrace that sold for £400,000 fifteen years ago now commands £1.2-1.5 million. At these values, a sound roof is a non-negotiable expectation from buyers, mortgage lenders and insurers. The cost of a complete butterfly valley replacement and roof overhaul on a Fulham terrace is typically £5,000-8,000 — a fraction of the value it protects.
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 Hammersmith roofer who turns up when they say they will.
