New roofs & re-roofing · London
New roof installation in London: what it involves and when you need one
A new roof, or re-roof, means stripping the old covering back to the rafters. Then we repair any damaged timber and fit a new breathable membrane, treated battens and tiles, slates or a flat-roof system, with new ridges, leadwork and ventilation. It is usually the right choice when repairs keep recurring, tiles or slates are slipping across the roof, or the original underlay has perished.
Signs it is time for a new roof rather than another repair
- You have paid for repairs more than once in the last few years, but leaks keep coming back.
- Tiles or slates are slipping in many places, not just one or two.
- You can see daylight in the loft, or the old felt underlay has torn or started to crumble.
- The roof line dips or sags.
- The covering is original to an older house and has finally reached the end of its life.
If it is only a few tiles or one leak, you probably need a roof repair, not a new roof. Either way, we will tell you honestly which one you need.
What a new roof from M.K & Sons typically includes
- First, scaffolding, plus stripping and removing the old covering and waste.
- Inspection of rafters and timbers, with any rotten or damaged timber repaired or replaced.
- A new breathable roofing membrane and treated battens.
- Your choice of covering: concrete or clay tiles, natural slate, or a flat-roof system.
- Ridge and hip tiles mechanically fixed to BS 5534, plus new lead flashings and valleys.
- Roof ventilation to reduce condensation in the loft.
- Optional new fascias, soffits and gutters while the scaffold is up.
- Finally, a full clear-up and our workmanship guarantee.

Choosing a roof covering
| Covering | Suits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete tiles | Post-war and modern homes | Cost-effective and also quick to install |
| Clay plain tiles | Edwardian and 1930s homes | Traditional look, as well as long-lasting |
| Natural slate | Victorian terraces, conservation areas | Lightweight and very long-lived. See slate roofing |
| EPDM / GRP / felt | Extensions, dormers, garages | See flat roofing |
How long does a new roof take?
In general, most terraced and semi-detached houses take around one to two weeks from scaffold up to scaffold down, depending on the size of the roof, the covering and the weather. By comparison, natural slate roofs typically take 6 to 10 working days. We keep the roof watertight at the end of every day, so you can normally stay in your home throughout.
What affects the cost of a new roof?
- Roof size, pitch and complexity (hips, valleys, dormers, chimneys).
- The covering you choose, especially if it is natural slate.
- How much timber needs repairing or replacing.
- Scaffolding and access, including road or pavement licences in some London streets.
- Insulation needed to meet Building Regulations.
Building Regulations and planning permission
In England, replacing 50% or more of a roof counts as renovating a "thermal element", so Building Regulations apply even when you replace like-for-like. In general, this includes upgrading insulation where practical. Switching to a heavier covering, such as slate to concrete tiles, needs a structural check and approval. A like-for-like re-roof does not normally need planning permission, but listed buildings, conservation areas and Article 4 areas can be different. For more detail, see the LABC guidance on roofs and Building Regulations.

New roof installation in London: FAQs
Can I stay in my house while you replace the roof?
Yes, in almost all cases. We strip and re-cover the roof in sections and make it watertight with membrane or temporary sheeting at the end of every working day.
Do I need Building Regulations approval for a new roof?
Usually, yes. Replacing 50% or more of a roof counts as renovating a thermal element under the Building Regulations in England, even like-for-like, and normally requires an insulation upgrade where practical. Heavier coverings or structural changes also need approval.
Do I need planning permission to replace my roof?
A like-for-like re-roof does not normally need planning permission. If you live in a listed building, a conservation area or an Article 4 area, or you are changing the roof shape or material, check with your council first. We flag this at the survey.
How long does a new roof last?
It depends on the covering. Concrete tiles commonly last around 50 years, clay tiles longer, and good natural slate can last 100 years or more. Membranes, battens and fixings installed to current standards help the whole roof reach that lifespan.
Do you remove the old roof and waste?
Yes. Our new roof quotes also include stripping the old covering, removing waste and clearing up.
