New Roofs & Re-roofing in Twickenham & Richmond

When repairs no longer make sense, a full re-roof gives your home decades of protection. We handle the whole job — strip-out to finished ridge — for homes across Twickenham, Richmond and SW London. We handle the scaffolding, the waste and everything in between, so the job runs smoothly from start to finish. We'll talk you through materials and finish before we order anything.

A roof that lasts a generation

Re-roofing isn't just new tiles. Because a roof only performs as well as its weakest layer, we renew the whole system — battens, breathable membrane, fixings, flashings and ridge — so it works as a complete, weathertight unit for decades to come. For example, new flashings and a fresh ridge matter just as much as the tiles themselves.

However, we'll still tell you honestly whether your roof genuinely needs replacing or whether a repair will do. If a re-roof is the right call, you'll get a clear, itemised quote before any work begins. Either way, you'll know exactly what you're paying for and why.

A re-roof also gives you the chance to fix problems a repair never reaches. We can sort out poor ventilation, sagging timbers or outdated insulation while the roof is open. That means you get a warmer, drier home as well as a new roof on top.

New roofs across Twickenham and Richmond upon Thames still need to fit their surroundings, especially on a period street or inside a conservation area. We match slate, tile or flat coverings to the character of your home, so a new roof looks like it belongs, not like an add-on. We're happy to show examples of similar work nearby if that helps.

  • Full strip-out of the old roof covering
  • New timber battens and breathable underlay
  • New slate, tile or flat-roof covering of your choice
  • New flashings, valleys and ridge work

New Roof FAQs

How much does a new roof cost? +
It depends on the size and pitch of the roof, the covering you choose and access. A typical terraced or semi-detached re-roof is a significant but worthwhile investment, and we'll give you a clear itemised quote after inspecting the roof — with no obligation to proceed.
What are the signs my roof needs replacing? +
Widespread cracked or slipped tiles, a sagging roofline, repeated leaks, daylight or damp in the loft, and failed battens or felt all point towards re-roofing. If you're seeing several of these, patch repairs often become false economy.
How long does it take to install a new roof? +
Most domestic re-roofs take a few days to around a week depending on size, weather and whether scaffolding and any structural work are involved. We'll give you a realistic timescale up front and keep the site tidy throughout.
Will you tidy up and remove the old roof? +
Yes. Strip-out, waste removal and leaving your property clean are all part of the job. We protect the areas below, clear debris as we go and take the old covering away for disposal.
