Key takeaways What a roofer in Uxbridge actually does Most Uxbridge roofing jobs fall into four groups: Uxbridge has a mix of interwar semis, Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre, and newer homes and flats. Each roof type wears differently, so a proper look comes before any price. Roofs we see most around Uxbridge Two houses side by side can tell the story: one roof re-covered and tidy, the next still on its original tiles with moss and lichen building up. Moss on its own isn’t always a reason to replace a roof, but it holds water and is worth checking.

Do you need planning permission or Building Regulations? Planning permission. Replacing a roof like for like with similar materials doesn’t usually need planning permission. Things change if your home is listed, sits in a conservation area or is covered by an Article 4 direction. Parts of Uxbridge are in conservation areas, so check with the London Borough of Hillingdon before changing the look of the roof. Dormers and other roof extensions follow their own permitted development rules. Building Regulations. Replacing more than 25% of a roof counts as a renovation under Building Regulations. In most cases you’ll need to improve the insulation where it’s practical, and a heavier covering may need a structural check. Building control must be told, either directly or by a roofer registered with a competent person scheme. Party Wall Act. On terraced and semi-detached homes, some work affects the wall or chimney you share with your neighbour. The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 can require written notice at least two months before work to a party wall starts. Simple roof repairs that don’t touch the party wall usually don’t need notice.

A genuine roofer shows you photos of the problem and gives you a business name you can check. Do I need planning permission to replace my roof? Usually not, if you replace it like for like. You may need permission if your home is listed, in a conservation area or under an Article 4 direction. Replacing more than 25% of the roof also brings in Building Regulations, so building control must be told. Can roof repairs be done in winter? Yes. Most repairs, tile replacements and flashing work can be done in winter, between spells of bad weather. Some flat roof systems need dry conditions to install properly, so we plan those around the forecast. If water is coming in, a temporary repair can protect your home until the full job is done.

Rotten or flaking fascias in Ealing are more than a cosmetic problem. Fascia boards hold your gutters and close off the ends of the rafters, so when they fail, water and pests get in. M.K & Sons Roofing Ltd replaces fascias, soffits, bargeboards and guttering on homes across W5, W13 and W7. We are based in Hayes, about 15 to 25 minutes away. Also, every job starts with a free survey and a fixed written quote. Ealing houses need different approaches. For example, Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Ealing Broadway and Northfields often have painted timber fascias and decorative bargeboards on the gables. Meanwhile, 1930s semis in Perivale and Hanger Hill usually have plain boards and shallow soffits, which suit modern uPVC. We look at the house first and then recommend what will last and look right. Signs your fascias in Ealing need replacing Our fascia and soffit services in Ealing Why we replace fascias rather than cap them Capping is cheaper at first. However, it hides rotten timber behind a thin plastic cover, so the problem keeps growing. That is why we remove the old boards completely. As a result, we can check the rafter feet, fix any rot and fit an eaves support tray so the felt or membrane drains into the gutter. The new fascia then has something solid to fix to. Ventilation, wildlife and the rules Good soffits let air flow through the roof space, which helps stop condensation in the loft. So we use vented soffits or over-fascia vents where the roof needs them. Bats sometimes roost behind old fascias, and they are protected by law. Because of this, we stop work and seek advice if we find signs of bats. The Bat Conservation Trust explains what homeowners need to know. How we replace fascias in Ealing Fascias in Ealing: questions answered How much do new fascias cost in Ealing? It depends on the length of the eaves, the number of gables and whether scaffolding is needed. So we measure first and then give you a fixed written price, including removal of the old boards and any new guttering. Do you cap old fascias or replace them? We replace them. Capping puts a thin uPVC cover over the old timber, so any rot carries on underneath. A full replacement removes the old boards, so we can check the rafter ends and fix problems properly. How long does fascia replacement take? Most Ealing houses take one to two days once access is set up. However, a large detached house or one with several gables can take longer. We agree the timings with you in writing. Can you fit timber fascias in a conservation area? Yes. In some Ealing conservation areas, painted timber looks right and may be expected. Because rules vary by street, we suggest you check with Ealing Council planning before changing the material. Do you cover areas near Ealing? Yes. Our team also replaces fascias and soffits in Hanwell, Greenford, Perivale, Acton, Southall, Northolt and Hayes, where our yard is based.
