New Roofs in Wood Green

Replacing Your Roof in Wood Green

Scaffolding is the first thing neighbours notice on a re-roof, and planning it well keeps the job running smoothly. On a terraced street it may need to stand on the pavement, which usually means a licence from Haringey Council. It helps to let your neighbours know when the scaffold is due to go up. Ashlar Roofing installs new roofs in Wood Green, covering N22 and the wider London Borough of Haringey, and plans access as part of every quote.

With scaffolding in place it makes sense to look at everything it reaches. Fascias, soffits and guttering can be renewed alongside the roof, and chimney stacks can be repointed or flashed while access is in place. That saves putting scaffolding up again later. Roof work and roofline work then finish together, and the scaffold only has to come down once. The survey covers the whole roofline, and each optional extra is priced separately from the main re-roof, so you can choose what to include.

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

Pricing a New Roof in Wood Green

Scaffolding often features heavily in a Wood Green re-roof, together with:

  • 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 Wood Green 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 Wood Green Homeowners

Which roof covering would suit my Wood Green property?

That depends on the age and style of the building, the roof pitch and what neighbouring roofs use. For Victorian and Edwardian houses, natural slate or clay tiles usually look right. We discuss the options during the survey.

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.

What details help you price a re-roof in Wood Green?

Your postcode, the type of property, the current covering and any known problems. Photos of the roof from the street or garden, sent on WhatsApp, help us prepare for the survey.

Will my house be open to the weather during a re-roof?

No. The roof is stripped and recovered in stages, with membrane fitted as work progresses, so the house is kept weathertight at the end of each working day.
