New Roofs in Woodford

New Roofs in Woodford

Roofs with hips, valleys, dormers and several stacks take more planning to replace than a simple gable, because every junction is a place where water can get in if the detailing is rushed. Chimney stacks in particular need new soakers, flashings and a back gutter so water is turned away from the slope. Ashlar Roofing re-roofs homes of all shapes in Woodford, covering IG8 and E18 within the London Borough of Redbridge, and gives each junction the attention it needs.

Valleys can be lined with lead or a modern dry valley system, hips finished with mechanically fixed dry hip units and ridges secured with a dry ridge system so there is no mortar to crack. Dormer cheeks and abutments get new flashings. We explain the options for each detail on the survey, choosing them for how they perform and how they look, and the quote breaks them down so you can see exactly what is included.

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 Woodford

More complex roofs take more time and material, so in Woodford the price depends on:

  • 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 Woodford 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 Woodford Homeowners

Is Woodford within your re-roofing area?

Yes. Ashlar Roofing covers Woodford and the IG8 and E18 postcodes as part of our work across Greater London, replacing slate and tiled roofs on houses and commercial buildings.

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.

Which roof covering would suit my Woodford 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.

Do you install new roofs on commercial buildings?

Yes. Ashlar Roofing carries out domestic and commercial roofing, including pitched roofs on shops, offices and blocks of flats.
