Why Your Roof Matters
Your roof protects your home from British weather. Poor workmanship doesn’t just cause leaks — it leads to structural damage, mould, and expensive repairs later.
At M.K & Sons Roofing Ltd, we built our business on honest pricing, skilled local roofers, and work we stand behind. Here’s what sets us apart from other roofing companies in Ealing and across West London.
Checkatrade Accredited and Independently Verified
Our Checkatrade accreditation shows that independent experts have checked our qualifications, insurance, and customer feedback. Every review on our profile is verified, so you can trust what you read before you call us.
Over 51 Five-Star Google Reviews
More than 51 homeowners in Ealing and West London have given us five-star reviews on Google. We earn these reviews by arriving on time, communicating clearly, and delivering work that lasts. Feel free to read what your neighbours say before you decide.
Free Roof Surveys with No Pressure
We offer free, no-obligation roof surveys across all of West London. Our surveyor will inspect your roof honestly, explain exactly what you need, and provide a clear written quote. If a repair will solve the problem, we will tell you. We never push new roofs on homeowners who don’t need them.
Fully Insured Local Roofers
Every member of our team carries comprehensive public liability insurance. This protects you from the moment scaffolding goes up until we finish the job and leave your property clean.
Signs You Need a New Roof Installation
Many Ealing homeowners delay a new roof because they’re unsure whether they need a full replacement or just a repair. Here are the clear warning signs that usually point toward a new roof installation.
Your Roof Is Over 20–25 Years Old
Most tile and felt roofs last 20–30 years in UK conditions. If your roof was installed before 2000 and hasn’t been fully refurbished, it’s worth booking a free survey. The tiles may still look okay from the street, but the underlay underneath has often deteriorated.
You Can See Daylight in the Loft
Daylight visible through the roof boards is a serious warning sign. It means there are gaps in the covering, and every gap allows wind-driven rain to enter.
Damp Patches on Ceilings or Walls
Water often tracks along rafters before it appears as a stain. By the time you see a brown patch on the ceiling, water has usually been entering the structure for weeks or months. Don’t ignore it — get it checked.
Sagging Roof Deck or Rafters
If the roof line looks uneven or the deck feels soft underfoot, the structural timbers may have suffered long-term water damage. In these cases, a full or partial roof replacement is usually necessary.
Slipped, Cracked, or Missing Tiles
You can repair the occasional slipped tile. However, if you’re calling a roofer every winter, the battens are probably failing. Repeated spot repairs on old battens usually cost more in the long run than a new roof installation.
Failed Flashings Around Chimneys or Valleys
Lead flashings around chimneys and in valleys are critical waterproofing points. When they crack or corrode, water enters the roof structure directly. Recurring leaks in these areas often mean the roof needs renewal.
New Roof Installation Ealing vs Full Roof Replacement Ealing
These two terms are often used interchangeably, but they have different meanings.
A new roof installation usually involves fitting a roof on a new build or a structure where the entire roof (including rafters and decking) has been rebuilt from scratch.
A full roof replacement involves stripping the existing tiles or slates down to the deck, replacing the underlay and battens, and installing a new covering. In most cases, the structural timbers stay in place. This is the most common type of work we carry out for Ealing homeowners.
Our free survey will tell you exactly which option your property needs.
Types of Roofing We Install in Ealing and West London
West London has many different property types, so we offer several roofing solutions. We assess your home, budget, and long-term needs before recommending the best system.
Pitched Roof Installation (Tiles and Slates)
Pitched roofs are very common across Ealing, Acton, Chiswick, and Brentford. We install:
- Natural slate — Long-lasting and traditional. Ideal for Victorian and Edwardian homes in conservation areas.
- Concrete roof tiles — Durable and cost-effective with many profile and colour options.
- Clay roof tiles — Period-appropriate with excellent longevity.
Every pitched roof installation includes breathable underlay, treated timber battens, mechanical fixings, and proper ridge, verge, and flashing details.
Flat Roof Installation
Flat roofs are common on extensions, garages, and bay windows across West London. We install three reliable systems:
- GRP fibreglass — Our most popular choice. Seamless, durable, and backed by a 25-year guarantee.
- EPDM rubber — Excellent for larger flat areas and handles thermal movement very well.
- Torch-on felt — A cost-effective three-layer system that lasts 15–20 years when installed correctly.
Natural Slate Roofing
We supply and install both Welsh and Spanish natural slate. For conservation areas in Ealing W5 and Chiswick W4, we install to NFRC standards with the correct head-lap for UK weather conditions.
Fascia, Soffit, and Guttering
A new roof is the perfect time to upgrade fascia, soffit, and guttering. We install uPVC, cast-iron effect, and seamless aluminium systems, along with lead-dressed chimneys. Doing this work at the same time saves money on future scaffolding costs.

The New Roof Installation Process — Step by Step
Here’s exactly what happens when we carry out a new roof installation or full roof replacement on your Ealing home.
1. Free Roof Survey Our surveyor inspects your roof (using scaffolding or drone where needed), checks the loft, and provides a detailed written report — completely free and without obligation.
2. Written Quote and Specification You receive a clear quotation that lists all materials, the scope of work, timeline, and final price with no hidden extras.
3. Scaffolding and Site Setup We erect professional scaffolding that meets current safety regulations and notify your neighbours where necessary.
4. Strip the Existing Roof We remove all old tiles, slates, underlay, and damaged battens. We then inspect the structural timbers and replace any rotten rafters or purlins.
5. Install New Underlay and Battens We fit a high-performance breathable underlay across the entire roof, followed by new pressure-treated timber battens.
6. Lay the New Tiles or Slates We lay and mechanically fix the tiles or slates from the eaves upwards, carefully detailing all valleys, hips, and verges.
7. Complete Ridge, Flashings, and Chimney Work We finish the ridge and dress lead flashings at all junctions. Quality flashing work is what keeps a roof watertight for decades.
8. Install Guttering, Fascia, and Soffit We fit and align new guttering and install fascia and soffit boards with sealed joints.
9. Final Clearance and Handover We remove all waste, clean the site, and carry out a final inspection with you present.

Why Local Expertise Matters in Ealing
West London homes have specific characteristics that national companies often miss.
Victorian Terraces (W5, W13, W3) These properties originally had Welsh slate on shallow pitches. Many were later re-roofed with heavier concrete tiles. We always check whether the structure can safely support the new material.
Edwardian Bay Windows (W5, W13, W4) Bay windows are common leak points. We treat these junctions carefully on every re-roof.
1930s Interwar Properties (Hanwell W7, Southall, Greenford) These homes often need complete roof renewals after 80–90 years. We understand their typical construction and the best modern replacement materials.
