New Roofs in Canning Town

New Roofs in Canning Town

A new pitched roof on a block of flats, a shop with homes above or an office building needs the same care as a house roof, plus more planning around the people using the building. Residents and staff need safe routes in and out while the work is under way. Ashlar Roofing carries out domestic and commercial re-roofing in Canning Town, covering E16 and the London Borough of Newham, with scaffolding and access arranged to keep entrances clear.

On larger roofs the work is usually phased, stripping and recovering one slope or section at a time so the building stays weathertight. Rafters and battens are checked as each area is opened up, and leadwork, valleys and ridges are renewed as part of the job. Work can be sequenced around the people using each part of the building. Landlords and managing agents receive a clear quote covering all of this, agreed before scaffolding goes up.

What's included

What a Full Re-Roof Includes

The main parts of the job, each listed in your quote.

  • Stripping the old tiles or slates, battens and underlay, so the new roof starts from the rafters with nothing hidden.
  • Checking and repairing rafters and other timbers, giving the new covering a sound, level structure to sit on.
  • New breathable membrane and treated battens, which keep wind-driven rain out and help the loft ventilate.
  • Your choice of covering, including natural slate, clay or concrete tiles, to suit the property and any planning guidance.
  • New ridge, hip and valley details, including dry ridge systems that are mechanically fixed rather than relying on mortar alone.
  • Leadwork and flashings renewed where the roof meets chimneys, walls and dormers, the points most likely to leak.

Pricing

Re-Roofing Costs in Canning Town

For houses, blocks and business premises in Canning Town, re-roofing costs depend on:

  • The size and shape of the roof, including hips, valleys and dormers
  • The covering chosen: natural slate, clay tiles or concrete tiles
  • Scaffolding for safe access, which depends on the building's height and the street
  • The condition of the rafters and any timber repairs found once the roof is stripped
  • Extra work such as leadwork, chimney repairs, fascias, soffits or guttering

How it works

How New Roofs in Canning Town Is Arranged

What happens from your first call or message to the finished work.

  1. Survey and Options

    We look at the roof, the loft and the existing materials, then discuss coverings that suit the house and any conservation area requirements.

  2. Agreeing the Quote

    You receive a written quote setting out materials, scaffolding and timber repairs, agreed with you before work starts.

  3. Strip and Rebuild

    Once the scaffold is up, the old roof is stripped, timbers are checked and the new membrane, battens and covering are fixed, with the roof kept weathertight overnight.

  4. Finishing Details

    Ridges, valleys, leadwork and roofline are completed, then we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

What Canning Town Owners Ask About Replacing a Roof

Is Canning Town within your re-roofing area?

Yes. Ashlar Roofing covers Canning Town and the E16 postcode as part of our work across Greater London, replacing slate and tiled roofs on houses and commercial buildings.

What is a dry ridge system?

A dry ridge system fixes ridge tiles mechanically with clips and seals instead of bedding them only in mortar. It needs less maintenance, because there is no mortar to crack and wash out over time.

How should I prepare my Canning Town home for a re-roof?

Clear the loft if you can, or cover stored items with sheets, as some dust falls through during stripping. Let your neighbours know about the scaffolding, and make space for materials if your property allows.

Does a new roof need Building Regulations approval?

Re-roofing more than a quarter of the roof area usually counts as notifiable work and may mean upgrading the insulation. We explain what applies to your roof when we quote.
