New Roofs in Stratford

A New Slate or Tiled Roof in Stratford

Choosing a covering is the biggest decision in any re-roof. Natural slate is thin, light and very durable, clay tiles bring warm colour and texture, and concrete tiles offer a sturdy, economical finish on many homes. Each has a different weight, look and cost, and each suits some roofs better than others. Ashlar Roofing installs all three on new roofs in Stratford, across E15 and E20, and throughout the London Borough of Newham, for houses and commercial buildings.

The right choice depends on the roof pitch, the structure and what suits the building. Heavier concrete tiles may mean the rafters need checking, while slate needs a pitch steep enough to shed water. Dry ridge and dry valley systems can be used with all three. We look at these points on the survey, explain the options and give you a quote for the covering you prefer. Planning matters too, so we flag anything worth checking with Newham Council.

What's included

What a Full Re-Roof Includes

The main parts of the job, each listed in your quote.

  • Stripping the old tiles or slates, battens and underlay, so the new roof starts from the rafters with nothing hidden.
  • Checking and repairing rafters and other timbers, giving the new covering a sound, level structure to sit on.
  • New breathable membrane and treated battens, which keep wind-driven rain out and help the loft ventilate.
  • Your choice of covering, including natural slate, clay or concrete tiles, to suit the property and any planning guidance.
  • New ridge, hip and valley details, including dry ridge systems that are mechanically fixed rather than relying on mortar alone.
  • Leadwork and flashings renewed where the roof meets chimneys, walls and dormers, the points most likely to leak.

Pricing

What a New Roof Costs in Stratford

Your choice of covering is one of several things that shape a new roof price in Stratford:

  • The size and shape of the roof, including hips, valleys and dormers
  • The covering chosen: natural slate, clay tiles or concrete tiles
  • Scaffolding for safe access, which depends on the building's height and the street
  • The condition of the rafters and any timber repairs found once the roof is stripped
  • Extra work such as leadwork, chimney repairs, fascias, soffits or guttering

How it works

How New Roofs in Stratford Is Arranged

What happens from your first call or message to the finished work.

  1. Survey and Options

    We look at the roof, the loft and the existing materials, then discuss coverings that suit the house and any conservation area requirements.

  2. Agreeing the Quote

    You receive a written quote setting out materials, scaffolding and timber repairs, agreed with you before work starts.

  3. Strip and Rebuild

    Once the scaffold is up, the old roof is stripped, timbers are checked and the new membrane, battens and covering are fixed, with the roof kept weathertight overnight.

  4. Finishing Details

    Ridges, valleys, leadwork and roofline are completed, then we review the completed work with you and confirm everything has been done as agreed.

FAQs

Stratford Re-Roofing Questions

How do I know if I need a new roof rather than repairs?

Signs include widespread slipped or cracked tiles, slates sliding because their nails have rusted, sagging between rafters, daylight through the roof and repeated leaks in different places. When repairs keep coming back, a re-roof often makes more sense.

Will scaffolding block the pavement outside my Stratford home?

If the scaffold stands on the pavement or road, a licence from Newham Council is normally needed, and the scaffolder arranges it. The setup is planned to keep a safe route for pedestrians.

What is a dry ridge system?

A dry ridge system fixes ridge tiles mechanically with clips and seals instead of bedding them only in mortar. It needs less maintenance, because there is no mortar to crack and wash out over time.

Do you re-roof commercial property in Stratford?

Yes. We take on commercial re-roofing across Newham, including shops with flats above and office buildings, and plan access to limit disruption.
