Pitched Roof Construction Ealing — Built for West London Properties
Ealing’s housing stock mainly consists of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Edwardian semis, and 1930s–1950s detached homes. These properties need specialist knowledge when owners repair or replace the pitched roofs.
Our Standard Replacement Process
First, we erect scaffolding and protect the entire site. Next, we carefully strip the existing covering so we can fully inspect the structure. After that, we check rafters, ridge boards, and purlins for any signs of rot or damage.
Once the structure is sound, we fit a new breathable underlay across the whole deck. We then fix pressure-treated timber battens to the precise gauge required for your chosen tile or slate. Following this, we lay the tiles or slates from ridge to eave and secure them properly.
We install lead flashing around chimneys, valleys, abutments, and skylights. We complete ridge and hip work using either traditional mortar or modern dry-ridge systems for better wind resistance. Finally, we finish any agreed guttering and fascia upgrades before we dismantle the scaffold and clear the site.
We complete most pitched roof replacements in Ealing within 5–7 working days. Furthermore, like-for-like replacements usually fall under permitted development rights and do not need planning permission.
Roof Slates Ealing — Natural Slate Installation Specialists
Natural slate remains the preferred material for Ealing’s Victorian and Edwardian properties. Homeowners choose it because it offers authenticity, durability, and strong thermal performance.
In particular, natural slate increases kerb appeal and resale value, especially in conservation areas. It also resists fire naturally and supports sustainable building choices. Available varieties include Welsh Blue/Grey, Spanish Blue-Black, and Brazilian Green.
We source slate from approved suppliers and match existing materials for partial replacements. Consequently, we deliver a seamless finish on heritage and listed properties.

What Is Included
Every quoted price covers full scaffolding, complete strip-out and disposal, new breathable underlay, treated battens, the chosen covering, ridge and valley work, lead flashing, and final site clearance.
Factors That Can Increase Cost
Complex roof shapes such as hips, valleys, or dormers usually add 15–25%. In addition, rotten rafters, chimney repairs, Velux windows, or a full fascia and guttering upgrade will raise the final figure. However, we always provide a written, itemised quote before any work begins, so you face no hidden costs.
How Much Is a New Roof on a 4-Bed Detached House?
A new roof on a 4-bed detached house in Ealing typically costs £7,500–£15,000, depending on roof size, pitch, and material:
- Concrete tiles: £7,500–£11,000
- Clay tiles: £8,500–£13,000
- Natural slate: £9,500–£15,000+
Most 4-bed detached properties in W5 or W13 have a roof area of 75–110 m². When the roof includes hips, dormers, or multiple chimneys, the price moves toward the upper end of the range. For this reason, we always carry out a free survey and issue a written quote before any work starts.
Roof Surveys Ealing — Know Exactly What You’re Dealing With
Before any new roof installation we carry out a free, thorough roof survey. We inspect the roof from ground and scaffold level, examine the loft for rafter condition, insulation and ventilation, and check ridges, hips, valleys and flashings. For high or complex roofs we also use drones or binoculars.
Afterwards, we send you a written report with clear findings and an honest recommendation. Whether you need a full replacement, a partial re-roof, or a targeted repair, we never oversell work you do not need.
How Do I Find a Trustworthy Roofer Near Me?
Finding a reliable roofer in Ealing is one of the most common concerns homeowners raise. Below is a practical checklist that helps you avoid problems.
Step-by-Step Vetting Process
First, check whether the company appears on Checkatrade or TrustMark. Next, read recent Google reviews and look at the dates rather than just the overall score. You should also request proof of Public Liability Insurance and confirm the company appears on Companies House.
In addition, always obtain at least three written, itemised quotes. Never accept a verbal price. Legitimate companies do not cold-call or demand full cash payment upfront. Finally, make sure they have a verifiable business address and a professional email domain.
What Should I Look for When Hiring a Roofer?
Positive Signs
A professional roofer will offer references you can check, include scaffolding in the quote, provide a written 10-year workmanship guarantee, and clearly explain every line of the price. They will also give proper advice on planning permission when needed.
Warning Signs
Avoid anyone who demands full payment in cash, uses high-pressure “today only” discounts, or cannot supply insurance documents. Quotes that sit significantly lower than others usually mean the contractor is cutting corners. Working from ladders on a full roof replacement is another serious red flag.
M.K & Sons meet every positive indicator listed above. We stay transparent, hold the right accreditations, and always put everything in writing before work begins.
