Roof Repairs in East Ham

Slate roofs on Victorian and Edwardian houses, common across London, usually fail one slate at a time. The nails holding each slate corrode, it slides out of place and leaves a gap for rain. Clay tiles on similar houses tend to crack or lose their nibs instead. Ashlar Roofing repairs slate and tiled roofs in East Ham, across E6 and the London Borough of Newham, replacing slipped slates with matched ones secured with clips or tingles.

One slipped slate is a simple repair, but several along the same slope suggest the fixings are reaching the end of their life. We look along the whole roof and let you know if a larger section is affected, so you can plan rather than react. Lead valleys and flashings on older roofs are also checked, as split lead is a common cause of leaks. The quote comes first, and you agree it before any work.
