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.
Palmers Green typifies inter-war London suburbia — wide tree-lined avenues of 1920s-1930s semi-detached houses with bay windows, hipped tile roofs, and generous gardens. The Fox Lane area has larger detached properties while streets near the North Circular feature more modest terraced housing. Original roofs were covered in machine-made clay or early concrete tiles, many now reaching 80-100 years old. Many of these roofs are now approaching or past their design life. We see Palmers Green 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 Palmers Green's older stock.
Every Palmers Green 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 Palmers Green properties), fix new treated softwood battens at the correct gauge for the chosen tile, and lay the new covering to BS 5534. On Green Lanes, Alderman's Hill, Fox Lane, Hazelwood Lane, Broomfield Lane, Hedge Lane we typically need 3–5 days for a standard property, longer for the larger detached houses.
80-100 year old clay tiles reaching end-of-life is Palmers Green's primary roofing challenge — many are simply worn out. Hip iron corrosion causing hip tile slippage, mortar degradation on ridge and hip bedding, original lead flashings thinning to paper thickness, and insufficient roof ventilation causing condensation after loft insulation retrofits are all frequent issues. 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 Palmers Green property individually and recommend the right material for the specific conditions.

Spring (March–May): The ideal time for a professional inspection in Palmers Green. 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 Palmers Green. 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 Palmers Green'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.
