Full re-roofs using quality materials with a 10-year guarantee. We survey your roof and give you a clear, itemised quote with no surprises.
When repairs are no longer cost-effective and your property needs a fresh start overhead, our replacement service strips back to the rafters, inspects the timber, and builds up with breathable membrane, treated battens, and your chosen covering.
Hackney blends Victorian and Edwardian terraces with significant post-war local authority housing. Streets around London Fields and Victoria Park feature handsome double-fronted Victorian houses with complex roof junctions and original slate coverings. Dalston's mixed-use buildings combine commercial ground floors with residential above, requiring flat-to-pitched roof transitions. Many of these roofs are now approaching or past their design life. We see Hackney homeowners spending £500–£1,000 annually on recurring patch repairs when a full replacement at £5,000–£8,000 would eliminate all future expenditure for 40–60 years. The tipping point is usually when more than 20% of tiles are damaged or the underlay has perished — both increasingly common across Hackney's older stock.
Every Hackney re-roof follows the same disciplined process: strip existing covering, inspect every rafter and purlin for rot or insect damage, replace any failed structural timbers, install breathable roofing membrane (replacing the perished sarking felt found on most Hackney properties), fix new treated softwood battens at the correct gauge for the chosen tile, and lay the new covering to BS 5534. On Mare Street, Dalston Lane, Chatsworth Road, Broadway Market, Pembury Road, Morning Lane we typically need 3–5 days for a standard property, longer for the larger detached houses.
Subsidence-related roof distortion on London clay is a persistent issue across Hackney, causing tiles to slip and flashings to crack. Cracked hip tiles on Edwardian semis, failed torch-on felt on ex-council flat roofs, and pigeon damage in Dalston's commercial rooflines are all regular calls. Warehouse conversion roof terrace waterproofing failures are increasingly common. These factors directly influence material choice. Where wind exposure is a concern, we specify tiles with additional mechanical fixings. Where conservation area restrictions apply, we source heritage-specification materials. Where budget is the primary constraint, quality concrete tiles offer the best value with a 40–60 year lifespan. We assess each Hackney property individually and recommend the right material for the specific conditions.

Spring (March–May): The ideal time for a professional inspection in Hackney. Winter damage is visible — cracked mortar, displaced tiles, failed flashings — and you're ahead of the autumn storm season. Book a free inspection now and address any issues before they worsen over summer.
Summer (June–August): The best conditions for major roofing work in Hackney. Dry weather allows full strip-and-retile projects, flat roof installations, and chimney rebuilds. Lead work is easier in warm temperatures when the metal is more malleable. If you're planning a roof replacement, summer is the optimal window.
Autumn (September–November): Clear gutters and valleys of leaf debris — critical in Hackney's tree-lined streets. Check ridge tiles and flashings before winter storms arrive. A pre-winter roof check costs nothing (we do it free) and can prevent expensive emergency repairs in December and January.
Winter (December–February): Emergency repairs only where possible. Frost, ice, and short days limit what can be safely done on a roof. However, if you have an active leak or storm damage, we respond same-day regardless of conditions. Call 0203 538 0907 any time — 24/7 emergency line.
