Reroof in Ealing
For this property in Ealing, the existing roof had deteriorated to the point where ongoing patch repairs were no longer a reliable option. The homeowner chose a full re-roof to restore long-term weather protection, reinforce the roof structure, and refresh the overall appearance of the property. Our team delivered a complete roofing solution with careful preparation, high-quality materials, and precise detailing throughout.
Project Goals & Challenges
- Replace the existing worn roof covering with a durable, long-lasting system.
- Inspect the roof deck and supporting timbers, repairing any compromised areas.
- Improve waterproofing at vulnerable junctions such as chimneys, valleys, and abutments.
- Complete the work safely and efficiently while minimising disruption to the household.
Strip-Out & Roof Assessment
We started by removing the old roof covering, along with any failing underlay and flashings. With the deck exposed, we carried out a thorough inspection to identify any weaknesses in the substrate, battens, or supporting timbers.
Deck Repairs & Preparation
Where required, damaged boards and timbers were repaired or replaced to provide a sound, level base for the new roof covering. This step is essential for ensuring the new system performs correctly and remains stable over time.
Underlay & Secondary Weather Protection
A modern breathable membrane was installed to act as a secondary barrier against wind-driven rain and moisture. This helps protect the roof space while also allowing vapour to escape, supporting healthier roof ventilation and reducing condensation risks.
New Roof Covering Installation
The new roof covering was installed in neatly aligned, overlapping courses to ensure consistent weather resistance. Each tile or slate was securely fixed using corrosion-resistant fasteners, providing strong protection against wind uplift and seasonal temperature movement.
Leadwork & Flashing Details
All key junctions—such as chimneys, valleys, and abutments—were finished with carefully formed leadwork and secure flashings. These areas are critical for preventing future leaks, so extra care was taken to ensure clean integration with the new roof covering.
Ridge Completion & Final Checks
We completed the installation with secure ridge detailing and appropriate ventilation where required. A final inspection was carried out across the full roof area to confirm alignment, sealing, and overall weatherproofing before leaving the site clean and tidy.
Results & Benefits
- A fully renewed roof that provides dependable long-term protection from the elements.
- Improved structural integrity thanks to repairs and reinforcement beneath the covering.
- Reduced risk of leaks due to upgraded underlay and carefully detailed junctions.
- Enhanced kerb appeal with a clean, uniform finish across the roofline.
- Greater peace of mind and reduced maintenance needs moving forward.
