Local Insight

London has a high proportion of slate roofs on Victorian and Edwardian properties. Welsh slate is the traditional choice but reclaimed and Spanish slate are more affordable alternatives. For flat roofs, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber have largely replaced felt — they last 25+ years vs 10–15 for felt. Always get at least 3 quotes for major roofing work and check that your roofer has public liability insurance and offers a written guarantee.

Roofer in London — FAQs

How much does a new roof cost in London?
A complete re-roof for a typical London terraced house costs £5,000–£8,000 for tiles or £7,000–£12,000 for natural slate. This includes stripping the old roof, new felt and battens, tiles/slates, and ridge tiles. Scaffolding adds £500–£1,500.
How long does a flat roof last?
Traditional felt flat roofs last 10–15 years. GRP fibreglass lasts 25–30 years. EPDM rubber lasts 30–50 years. For London properties, we recommend GRP or EPDM for their longevity and weather resistance.
Can you repair a roof in the rain?
Emergency temporary repairs (tarping, sealant) can be done in light rain. Permanent repairs need dry conditions. Most London roofers offer emergency callouts to prevent further water damage until a proper repair can be scheduled.
Do I need scaffolding for roof work?
Most roof work in London requires scaffolding for safety and access. Scaffolding typically costs £500–£1,500 depending on the property. Some minor repairs can be done from a ladder, but this depends on height and access.
