Roofers in Ealing: Roof Repairs, Inspections & New Roofs (W5, W13)

Looking for roofers in Ealing who turn up when they say they will? M.K & Sons Roofing Ltd is a family roofing company based on Barra Hall Road in Hayes. As a result, most Ealing streets are only 15 to 25 minutes from our yard. We fix leaks, replace slipped slates and tiles, repair flat roofs and fit complete new roofs across W5, W13 and W7. Every job also starts with a free survey and a fixed written quote.

Ealing roofs have their own quirks. For example, the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Ealing Broadway, Northfields and West Ealing mostly carry Welsh slate with lead valleys and bay roofs. Meanwhile, the 1930s homes on the Hanger Hill estate and in Perivale tend to have clay or concrete tiles. Many of them also gained a flat-roofed rear extension or dormer later on.

Ealing also has many conservation areas, including Brentham Garden Suburb. That is why our roofers match the original slates, tiles and leadwork, so a repair blends in rather than standing out.

Roof inspections and surveys in Ealing

Not sure what is wrong with your roof? First, we inspect it from ladders, a tower or the loft, depending on access. Then we photograph each defect and explain it in plain English. After that, you get a written quote with a fixed price for each item. So you can decide what needs doing now and what can wait. The survey and quote are free.

We also check the parts people forget. For instance, we look at mortar on ridges and verges, the state of the underlay in the loft, and whether gutters are carrying water away from the walls.

Slate and tile roof repairs in Ealing

Many houses in Ealing, W5 and W13 still have their original natural slate or clay tile roofs. When a slate slips or a tile cracks, rain gets under the roof covering and the leak often shows up somewhere else inside. So we find the actual gap first, then replace the broken slates or tiles and refix loose ridge tiles.

Where we can, we match new slates or tiles to the existing ones in size and colour, so the repair blends in. If the survey shows that a large part of the roof is failing, we explain the options in writing, from a local repair to a partial or full re-roof. See our slate roofing and pitched roofing pages for more detail.

Fascias, soffits and gutters in Ealing

Fascias, soffits and gutters protect the edge of your roof and carry rainwater away from the walls. Rotten fascia boards, damaged soffits and leaking or blocked gutters are common on older Ealing homes, and they can lead to damp walls if they are left.

We repair and replace fascias, soffits and guttering, and we check them as part of every roof survey. Read more in our guide to fascias and soffits in Ealing.

Emergency roofing repairs in Ealing

Water coming through a ceiling cannot wait until Monday. That is why our emergency line runs 24/7. If it is safe, we make the roof watertight on the first visit with a temporary repair or a sheet. Then we return to finish the permanent fix once the materials are in. Call 07720 607862 with your postcode and we will give you a realistic arrival time.

Roof replacement and new roofs in Ealing

Sometimes repairs stop making sense. For example, when a slate roof is over 100 years old and the nails are failing everywhere, patching becomes a running cost. In that case, we will tell you honestly and price a full re-roof next to the repair. Our new roofs include breathable membrane, new treated battens, proper ventilation and new leadwork.

See our new roof installation in Ealing page for costs and timings. You can also read about pitched roof construction in Ealing, including slate and tile choices.

Roof cleaning and moss removal in Ealing

Ealing’s mature trees look lovely, but they drop leaves and keep roofs damp. As a result, moss builds up, lifts tiles and blocks gutters. Our roofers remove moss by hand, clear the valleys and clean out the gutters so water drains properly. Also, we check the tiles underneath while we are up there. We do not recommend pressure washing slate or old clay tiles, because high pressure can damage the surface and push water under the laps.

What our roof cleaning in Ealing includes

• Moss removed by hand from tiles, ridges and valleys
• Gutters and downpipes cleared, so rainwater drains away
• Slipped, cracked or loose tiles noted while we are on the roof
• Before and after photos sent to you, so you can see the result

For most Ealing homes, late autumn is the best time to book, once the trees have dropped their leaves. However, if moss keeps returning on a shaded slope, we will explain why and what will help.

Getting a roof quote from roofers in Ealing

A roof quote from our roofers in Ealing is free. First, we inspect the roof from the ground, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself. Then we send you photos of the problem and a fixed written price. There is no obligation to go ahead.
