What a roofer in Uxbridge actually does
Most Uxbridge roofing jobs fall into four groups:
- Repairs: slipped or cracked tiles, leaks, worn lead flashing and damaged ridge tiles.
- Flat roofs: extensions, garages and dormers, where water can pool and coverings wear out.
- Chimneys: repointing, repairs and rebuilds on older stacks.
- Roofline: gutters, fascias and soffits that carry water away from your walls.
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
- Interwar semis with hipped roofs. Many have concrete interlocking tiles, some of them already replaced once. Look for moss, cracked tiles and worn ridge mortar on the original roofs.
- Bay window and porch roofs. These small tiled roofs are easy to forget, and they often leak where they meet the wall.
- Shared chimney stacks. Common on semis and terraces. The lead flashing and the pointing both wear over time.
- Flat-roofed rear extensions and garages. Older felt roofs crack and blister, and water pools where the falls aren’t right.
- Slate roofs on Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Slipped slates and rusted nails are the usual problems.
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.
How much does a roofer cost in Uxbridge?
The biggest factors in price are:
- the size and shape of your roof
- access and whether scaffolding is needed
- the materials (concrete tiles, clay, slate or a flat roof system)
- how much damage there is under the surface, such as battens, felt and timbers
As a guide, Checkatrade’s Uxbridge roofer page (checked on 10 October 2026) shows typical jobs costing £1,589 to £3,915, around £2,484 on average. Small repairs cost less than this. A full new roof costs more. An inspection gives the real price for your home, and we’ll put it in writing before any work starts.
How long does roofing work take?
- Small repairs (a few tiles or a section of flashing): often a few hours to a day.
- Gutters, fascias and soffits: usually one to two days for a typical house.
- Flat roof replacement on an extension or garage: typically one to three days.
- A full re-roof on a typical semi: around one to two weeks, weather allowing.
Scaffolding often goes up a day or two before the roofing starts.
How to choose a roofer (and spot a bad one)
- Written quote: it should say what’s being done, with which materials and at what price.
- Photos: a good roofer shows you the problem, not just tells you about it.
- Reviews: look at Google reviews from real local customers, not only the stars.
- A real contact: a working phone number and a business name you can check on Companies House.
- No pressure: be wary of anyone who knocks unannounced, says it’s “urgent today only” or asks for full payment up front.
- Paperwork: ask who will notify building control if more than a quarter of the roof is being replaced.

FAQs
Who are reputable roofers in Uxbridge?
A reputable roofer has real Google reviews from local customers, gives a written quote and is easy to contact. Check the business on Companies House and ask for photos of past jobs. M.K & Sons Roofing is rated 5.0 from 20 Google reviews and works across Uxbridge.
How much should I pay for a roofer?

How much should a new roof cost in the UK?
MyBuilder’s price guide (updated August 2026) puts most roof replacements at £5,000 to £12,000. On a typical semi-detached house, it lists £5,000 to £8,000 for a gable roof and £8,000 to £12,000 for a hipped roof. Size, materials, pitch and scaffolding all change the price, so get a written quote after an inspection.
How do I spot a dodgy roofer?
Be careful with anyone who turns up uninvited, says the job is urgent and must be done today, asks for all the money up front or won’t give a written quote. 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.
