Roofers for Ealing’s Period Homes

Ealing grew as a suburb in the late Victorian and Edwardian years, and its housing reflects that period: large detached and semi-detached villas around Ealing Broadway and Haven Green, Edwardian streets in W13 and the Arts and Crafts houses of Brentham Garden Suburb. Ashlar Roofing works as a roofer across W5 and W13 in the London Borough of Ealing.

Many of these roofs are covered in clay plain tiles, sometimes with decorative ridges, finials, tile-hung gables and bays. Others carry slate. These details are part of the character of the house, and a good repair keeps them. Where tiles or ridges need replacing, we look for matching reclaimed or new pieces rather than whatever is easiest to buy.

West Ealing and the streets towards Hanwell also have a lot of interwar housing, with hipped roofs, concrete or clay tiles and rear extensions added over the years. We work on these as readily as the older villas, and the survey always starts with what the roof is made of and how it was built.

Conservation Areas and Keeping the Detail Right in W5 and W13

Ealing has many conservation areas, and Brentham Garden Suburb is among the best known. In those areas, Ealing Council may control changes to roof materials, dormers and chimneys, and some streets are covered by Article 4 directions. Like-for-like repairs are normally the starting point, and we suggest you check with the council before any change of material or shape.

Decorative features often fail before the main slopes. Bonnet hips, ridge tiles and finials are bedded in mortar that cracks over time, and tile hanging on gables can slip when its nails corrode. We repair these carefully, reusing original pieces where they are sound, so the roof still looks as it should from the street.

What Shapes a Roofing Quote in Ealing

In Ealing, roofing costs are mainly influenced by:

  • The type of work, from a single slipped tile to a full re-roof
  • The covering, whether slate, clay or concrete tiles, felt, rubber or fibreglass
  • Height and access, including any need for a tower or scaffold
  • The condition of battens, timbers and leadwork found during the survey
  • Whether gutters, fascias or a chimney are dealt with at the same time

FAQs

Ealing Roofing Questions

Do you cover West Ealing and W13 as well as Ealing Broadway?

Yes. Ashlar Roofing covers both the W5 and W13 postcode districts, including Ealing Broadway, Haven Green, Brentham, West Ealing and the streets around them.

Our house is in Brentham. Can you repair the roof without changing its look?

Yes. We aim to reuse sound original tiles and match any replacements in size, colour and texture. If any change is being considered, Ealing Council can tell you whether consent is needed.

Some tiles on our gable have slipped. Is that a big job?

Usually not. Tile hanging can often be refixed or have individual tiles replaced, depending on how far the problem has spread. Access to the gable is the main factor in the cost.

Should old ridge tiles be rebedded or dry fixed?

On period houses, rebedding in mortar keeps the traditional look. Dry fixing is a modern alternative that needs no mortar. We explain both and recommend what suits your roof and any conservation requirements.

Can you look at our chimney while you are on the roof?

Yes. We check the stack, pots, flaunching and flashing as part of the survey and include any work needed in the quote, so it can be done while access is in place.
