Roofing, explained

Traditional pitched roofing replacement and installation, providing you with style and weather resistance to battle all the elements installed by professional London roofing contractors

Our roofing company is based in Central London and is well-placed to meet your pitched roofing requirements.

Typically chosen for residential properties, pitched roofing is a common option for many homeowners whereby bad weather conditions are often a top feature of the weather forecast. When it comes to heavy rainfall, pitched roofs are incredibly reliable in terms of drainage, ensuring you won’t be left with large pools of water. With that being said, being so weather resistant means that pitched roofs are also incredibly durable, thus providing a long-term money saving option. Pitched roof appearance boasts a traditional feel in combination with a consistent eye-appealing design. Pitched roofing can also help in terms of energy persevering, as it provides greater thermal insulation due to its compactness. A further advantage is that this kind of roofing allows for additionally storage below them, meaning you can maximise the space in your home.

When we install a pitched roof on your home or commercial property, we properly insulate it to ensure the comfort of the building's occupants. For pitched roofs, either use TLX Gold Insulation or YBS Breathable Insulation depending on the job. Both brands are offer superior performance with breathable, thermally-effective multi-layered insulation. Find out more on our roof insulation page.

We are proud to share examples of our professional workmanship.

Caring for your pitched roof

Frequent checks and maintenance will benefit a pitched roof, but its longevity means that you won’t have to worry about repairs as often as you would with other forms of roofing. Pitched roofing may be more expensive than other forms of roofing, however, there is less of a risk of future repairs and maintenance so it has the potential to save you money in the long-term.

We work in the highest quality and all of our new roofs come with 10 year INSURED guarantee, which means you are covered even if we cease trading.

Slate Roofs

Known for their attractive design, slate roofs are both distinctive, making them a popular choice for many home owners. Slate is natural, environmentally friendly material that is strong and capable of withstanding all weather, making it an ideal material for London roofs. It is also fire-resistant and helps regulate a building's temperature. Our professional contractors have vast experience installing slate roofs on many buildings in London and always work to the highest standard of workmanship.

Pitched roof lifespan and long-term value

A properly built pitched roof lasts many decades provided it is checked regularly and maintained when needed — which is why the initial investment pays back over time through lower repair costs and better insulation. When replacement is finally required, a new pitched roof with fresh timbers, breathable insulation and new slate or tiles delivers another full lifespan of protection.
