Roofers in Canning Town, from Terraces to New Blocks
Canning Town has been rebuilt more than once. Wartime damage around the docks, post-war council estates and a long programme of regeneration have left a mix of surviving older terraces, 1960s and 1970s housing, and recent blocks of flats around the Royal Docks. Ashlar Roofing works as a roofer across E16 and the London Borough of Newham, on homes, blocks and commercial premises of all of these ages.
Post-war housing brings its own roofing issues. Concrete tiles laid fifty or sixty years ago are reaching the end of their life, with brittle edges, worn nibs and underlay that has perished under them. Felt flat roofs on garages, stores and low-rise blocks often show splits and blisters. A survey tells you which parts have years left in them and which are close to failing.
Commercial and light industrial units are also part of the picture in E16. Their roofs tend to be large and low-pitched, with long gutters and several outlets, and small faults go unnoticed until water reaches stock or equipment. We look at the roof as a whole and give a clear account of what needs attention now and what can be planned for later.

Wind and Weather Close to the River
Open water and wide open sites let the wind build up in a way it rarely does in more sheltered parts of London. Roofs near the docks feel that exposure first at their edges: ridge and hip tiles, verges, flat roof trims and any flashing that was not dressed tightly. After a storm, those are the places we check before anything else.
When we repair or replace a covering in an exposed spot, the fixing details matter as much as the material. Tiles are mechanically fixed where the specification calls for it, flat roof edges are finished with proper trims and upstands, and lead is sized and secured to resist lifting. Getting those details right is what keeps the roof in place through the next winter.
For blocks and commercial buildings, we plan access with the building manager and keep the area beneath the work safe for residents, staff and visitors throughout.
