New Roofs in Walthamstow

Replacing Your Roof in Walthamstow

Most roofs give clear signs when repairs are no longer worth chasing. Slates slide out because their nails have rusted through, tiles crack and lift along whole courses, the underlay crumbles in the loft and leaks appear in a new place after every storm. Patching at that stage rarely holds for long, because the problem lies in the whole roof rather than one spot. If that sounds like your roof, Ashlar Roofing provides full re-roofing in Walthamstow, across E17 and the London Borough of Waltham Forest.

A new roof means starting again from the rafters. The old covering, battens and underlay are stripped, the timbers are checked and repaired where needed, and a breathable membrane, new battens and your chosen slates or tiles go on. Ridges, valleys and leadwork are renewed at the same time. Fascias, soffits and guttering can be included while the scaffold is up. Everything, including scaffolding, is set out in the quote, which you agree before work begins.

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.

How it works

How New Roofs in Walthamstow 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

New Roof Questions from Walthamstow Homeowners

Do I need permission to re-roof my house in Walthamstow?

Re-roofing with similar materials does not usually need planning permission. If your home is in a conservation area, is listed, or you would like a different material, check with Waltham Forest Council first.

Should I choose slate or tiles?

Natural slate is light, long-lasting and suits many Victorian houses. Clay tiles give a traditional colour and texture, while concrete tiles are heavier but a cost-effective option on many post-war homes. We recommend a covering that suits the roof pitch, the structure and the look of the street.

Will scaffolding block the pavement outside my Walthamstow home?

If the scaffold stands on the pavement or road, a licence from Waltham Forest 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.
