Roofers for Southall’s Interwar Homes
Much of Southall’s housing was built between the wars, when the area expanded rapidly with streets of semi-detached and terraced houses. Ashlar Roofing works as a roofer across UB1 and UB2 in the London Borough of Ealing, and houses of this era make up a large part of the roofs we see here.
An interwar semi usually has a hipped roof covered in clay or concrete tiles, a central chimney and a bay at the front. Nearly a century on, the tiles may still be serviceable, but the battens, nails and underlay beneath them have often reached the end of their life. Hips and ridges bedded in mortar also tend to crack and come loose after years of weather.
There are older Victorian streets nearer the town centre and newer housing in parts of UB2, so the survey always begins with what the roof is made of and how old it is. That decides whether a repair will last or whether the roof is ready to be replaced.

Loft Conversions, Dormers and Extensions in UB1 and UB2
Many Southall houses have been extended into the roof. A hip-to-gable conversion builds up the side of the roof into a gable wall, and a rear dormer adds a flat roof and new junctions with the original tiles. Done well, these work for decades. Done poorly, they leak at the joins. We check the flashings, the dormer’s flat covering and where new tiles meet old.
Rear extensions are also common, with flat roofs or shallow pitched roofs against the back wall. Water from the main roof often lands on them, so an overflowing gutter above can wear out the extension roof below. We look at the whole route the rain takes, from the ridge to the drain, before recommending work.
Along the Broadway and the main shopping streets, many commercial buildings have flats above and flat roofs behind. We work on these as well, planning around trading where we can.
