Over decades, tiles become brittle, battens rot and the old felt underneath breaks down. Once that happens, patching individual tiles stops working and a full re-roof is the cost-effective fix. A re-roof means stripping the roof back to the rafters. We remove the old tiles and battens, check and repair the timber, lay a new breathable membrane, fix new treated battens and re-tile, usually in larger profile tiles that suit the property. Ridges, verges, flashings and guttering are finished at the same time so the whole roof works as one system. Because Jake's own permanent team does the work, you deal with the same people from survey to sign-off. Many of our re-roofs are completed in 1–3 days, and every new pitched roof comes with a 25-year warranty. ### Who this is for - Homeowners with leaks returning after repeated repairs - Roofs with sagging lines, slipped or crumbling tiles - Older roofs with no membrane, or torn felt visible in the loft - Landlords and buyers who need a roof that won't need attention for decadesStandard re-roof Up-and-over pitched roof in larger profile tiles: from £8,000 3-sided re-roof Complete 3-sided pitched roof installation: from £12,000 Final pricing depends on size, condition and extras such as flashings or fascias. Warning signs ## What happens if a tired roof is left Roofs rarely fail all at once. Water gets in slowly, and by the time you see a stain on the ceiling the damage underneath has usually been going on for a while. ### Rotting timbers Water tracking down failed felt soaks battens and rafters. Rotten timber costs more to replace than a re-roof done on time. ### Ceiling and insulation damage Wet loft insulation stops working and ceilings stain, crack and can eventually come down, turning a roofing job into an internal repair job too. ### Storm losses Loose, brittle tiles are the first to go in high winds. Each storm can take more tiles and open the roof further. ### Damp and mould Persistent moisture in the loft spreads into bedrooms below as damp patches and mould, especially through winter. ### Common mistakes homeowners make - Paying for repeated patch repairs on a roof that has reached the end of its life - Choosing a quote that leaves the old battens and felt in place - Accepting a price that is 'subject to change' once the roof is opened up - Paying a large deposit before any work has started Our Process ## Five clear steps, one fixed price. - STEP 1 ### Free survey & inspection We come out, inspect the roof properly and take before-photos and video so you can see exactly what we see. There is no call-out fee. - STEP 2 ### Diagnosis & fixed written quote We explain the cause in plain English, recommend what actually needs doing, and put a fixed price in writing. That price will not change for the agreed schedule of work. - STEP 3 ### Scaffold & work carried out Scaffolding goes up before any work begins. Jake's permanent four-man team, with experienced site specialists where needed, carry out the work and send progress videos throughout. - STEP 4 ### Checks & clean-up Every detail is checked before we come down. The site is cleared and tidied, including any debris on your neighbours' side, and the scaffold is dismantled straight after completion. - STEP 5 ### Completion, guarantee & payment You receive a written guarantee certificate for the work. Only then, on the day the job is complete, is payment due. Nothing is taken upfront.

Optional extras are only added if you ask for them. ### Nothing upfront 0% deposit. Full payment only on the day the roof is finished. ### See every stage Before-photos, video and progress updates mean you know exactly what's under your tiles and what's been done. ### Clean site We clear as we go and leave your property and your neighbours' tidy. More detail ## Pitched roofing in detail ### Types of pitched roof we re-roof We work on all common pitched roof shapes found across Essex, Chingford, Romford and North and West London, including: - Up-and-over roofs: two slopes meeting at a central ridge (from £8,000 in larger profile tiles) - 3-sided roofs: hipped designs with three sloping faces (from £12,000) - Roofs combining pitched sections with flat extensions or dormers - Traditional London roof configurations, including parapet details ### Breathable membrane and battens Older roofs often have bitumen felt, or no underlay at all. We replace this with a modern breathable membrane, which stops wind-driven rain getting in while letting moisture from the house escape, reducing condensation in the loft. New treated battens are then fixed at the correct gauge for the tile being used, giving every tile a sound fixing point. ### Large profile tiling Larger profile tiles cover more roof per tile, which keeps installations quick and gives a clean, uniform finish. We'll talk you through options at the survey and match what suits the property and the street. ### Timber repairs and carpentry Once the roof is stripped, we inspect the rafters and timber framework. Any rotten or weakened sections are repaired by our own team before the new roof goes on, so the new tiles sit on a sound structure. Where the work goes beyond the agreed quote, we show you photos and agree it with you first. ### Residential and commercial roofs Most of our pitched roofing is on family homes, but we also carry out residential and commercial roofing projects. The terms are the same: free survey, fixed written price, no deposit and payment on completion. ### How our terms protect you Most roofing complaints come down to three things: prices that rise once work starts, deposits paid for work that never gets finished, and not knowing what was actually done. Our terms are built to remove all three. Fixed written price. After your free survey you receive a written quote for the agreed schedule of work. That figure will not change. If we find something unexpected once work is underway, we show you photo or video evidence and you choose whether to add it as an optional extra. Nothing is added without your say-so. 0% deposit. We don't take money upfront. Full payment is due on the day the project is completed, so the risk sits with us, not you. Evidence at every stage. You get before-photos and videos ahead of any work, and progress videos throughout. You'll see what's under your tiles, what we've replaced and how it was finished, even if you're at work all day. Written guarantee. Every job ends with a written guarantee certificate, and new pitched roofs and EPDM flat roofs carry a 25-year warranty. We're also covered by £1,000,000 public liability insurance. Scaffold only as long as needed. Where scaffolding is required, it goes up before work begins and comes down straight after completion, so it isn't left standing outside your home for weeks. ### Areas we cover for pitched roofing We carry out pitched roofing across Essex, Chingford, Chelmsford, Romford, Springfield, Brentwood, Hornchurch, Woodford, Great Baddow and North & West London.
