New Roofs in Plaistow

Knowing how a re-roof unfolds makes it easier to plan around. In Plaistow, as elsewhere in E13 and the London Borough of Newham, the job begins with scaffolding, then the old covering comes off a section at a time. Each area is covered with membrane before the day ends, so your home stays dry while Ashlar Roofing works on the roof above. Scaffolding stays up until the ridge, leadwork and roofline are finished, then comes down before the final clear-up.

Once the timbers are checked and any repairs made, new battens are fixed and the slates or tiles are laid, followed by the ridge, hips and valleys. Leadwork around chimneys and walls is renewed rather than reused. Any timber repairs beyond what was quoted are shown to you before they go ahead. Some dust will fall into the loft during stripping, so it helps to cover stored belongings. The scope and price are agreed in a written quote first.
