New Roofs, Tiling & Slating
Walthamstow has everything. Victorian terraces, Edwardian homes, 1930s semis, loft conversions, and modern flats.
Each roof requires tiles that match the property’s style and provide long-lasting protection.
We install all major roof tiles:
- Clay Tiles: Clay tiles are strong, long-lasting, and retain their colour. They appear on older Victorian and Edwardian homes.
- Concrete Tiles: Concrete tiles are heavy, durable, and budget-friendly. They are common on post-war and modern houses.
- Natural Slate: Natural slate is high-quality, thin, and built for longevity. Common on period homes in the area.
- Man-Made Slate: Man-made slate is lighter and cheaper than natural slate. Often used on new builds and extensions.
- Plain Tiles: Plain tiles are small and neat with a traditional finish. Often found on older terraced houses and cottages.
- Interlocking Systems: Interlocking tiles lock firmly together to keep out water and withstand strong winds. They are common on modern estates and refurbished roofs across the area.
- Composite Tiles: Composite tiles are lightweight and made from a mix of materials for added strength. They are common loft conversions, garden buildings, and newer roofs in Walthamstow.
All materials used are sourced from trusted UK manufacturers. All have excellent durability and colour consistency.
Every new roof includes airflow, insulation, and neatly finished ridges and valleys.
A new roof will transform the look of your home, enhance protection and last many decades.
Roof Repairs
Walthamstow’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian blocks, and 1930s houses often show the effects of age, movement, and weathering.
Small roofing faults can lead to rapid damp, mould, leaks, and even interior damage if left unchecked.
We provide full roof repairs for all homes in the area. Common repairs include:
- Tile and slate replacement
- Leak finding and repair
- Flashing and lead flashing work repairs
- Ridge and verge repairs
- Flat roof repairs (felt, GRP, bitumen)
- Chimney repairs
- Gutter and roofline repairs
- Emergency storm-damage repairs
We use durable, matching materials and reliable repair methods to restore your roof.
For sudden leaks or storm damage, emergency repairs are available.


Flat Roofs
Flat roofs are common throughout Walthamstow, on kitchen extensions, loft dormers, garages, and revamped Victorian homes.
Flat roofs require strong materials to cope with changing weather and heavy rainfall.
We provide several hard-wearing flat roof systems:
- Three-layer felt roofing: This material has three layers of felt melted together. It is tough, cheap, and good for sheds, garages, and small flat roofs.
- Torch-on felt systems: Like normal felt, but heated with a torch to make it stick better. It lasts longer and is suitable for homes and other buildings that need a stronger roof.
- GRP fibreglass roofing: A hard, plastic-like roof made from resin and matting. It has no seams, requires little care, and is ideal for flat roofs that must remain watertight.
- EPDM rubber roofing: A large sheet of rubber covers the roof. It is long-lasting, easy to fit, and good for most flat roofs.
All flat roofs are installed with the correct drainage, insulation, and edge finishing.
Leadwork & Flashing
Walthamstow’s Victorian and Edwardian homes rely heavily on lead flashing work. Essential around chimneys, parapet walls, dormers, and rear extensions.
We deliver all types of leadwork, including:
- Chimney Flashings and Aprons: Lead sheets shaped around the base of a chimney. They stop water from entering the roof by guiding it away from the brickwork.
- Step Flashings and Soakers: Step flashings sit in the brickwork, while soakers sit under each tile or slate. Together, they keep water out where a roof meets a wall.
- Lead Valleys: Lead valleys are wide channels made of lead that sit where two roof slopes meet. They channel rainwater off the roof in a highly exposed, weather-beaten area.
- Parapet and Dormer Coverings: Lead sheets lie over parapet walls or dormer roofs. They protect flat or low-pitched areas from water penetration.
- Flat-to-Pitched Join Weathering: Leadwork covers the joint between a flat roof and a sloped roof. It stops leaks by guiding water down the roof rather than into the joint.
All materials are milled lead sheets to BS EN 12588. Following Lead Sheet Association methods, ensuring correct jointing, expansion allowance, and fixing.


Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
All homes need effective roofline protection. Old timber boards often rot or warp, leading to leaks and airflow problems.
We install uPVC fascias, soffits, guttering, and downpipes.
- Fascias: Fascias protect the edge of your roof, support the guttering, and give the roofline a clean, finished look.
- Soffits: uPVC soffits close the gap under the roof edge, allow airflow into the loft, and prevent moisture build-up.
- Guttering: Guttering collects rainwater from the roof and channels it safely away from the property. Protecting walls, brickwork, and foundations from water damage.
- Downpipes: Downpipes carry rainwater from the guttering to the ground or drain, ensuring efficient drainage and keeping the exterior walls dry and protected.
We match the style and colour to your home for a seamless finish and ensure proper drainage angles for efficient water flow.
Roof Windows & Skylights
Walthamstow is full of loft conversions, extended terraces, and modernised homes where natural light from the roof is essential.
We install Velux windows, flat roof skylights, roof lanterns, and sun tunnels.
- Velux Windows: Velux windows bring natural light and fresh air into loft spaces, transforming underused areas into bright, comfortable rooms.
- Flat Roof Skylights: Flat roof skylights illuminate single-storey extensions and flat-roofed rooms with clear, overhead light. Making them a popular option for modern and post-war properties.
- Roof Lanterns: Roof lanterns create dramatic, architectural lighting and add a sense of height to kitchen and living spaces. Making them ideal for renovated Victorian homes and extensions.
- Sun Tunnels: Sun tunnels channel daylight into small or enclosed rooms where traditional windows cannot be installed. An effective solution for terraced houses, mid-floor flats, and internal bathrooms or hallways.
Every window and skylight is watertight, insulated, and finished with maker-approved flashings.


Emergency Roofing Services
Our emergency roofers in Walthamstow provide fast response times covering all types of urgent roof issues:
- Storm Damage: High winds, heavy rain, or debris can tear off tiles or puncture the roof, exposing your home to water.
- Leaks: Water entering through the roof will quickly damage ceilings, insulation, and internal structures.
- Structural Sagging: A dip or sag in the roofline indicates failure in the rafters or decking. Requiring immediate attention.
- Fallen Trees or Debris Impact: Large branches or objects can penetrate roofing materials and compromise structural integrity.
- Tile or Slate Loss: Large sections of missing or broken tiles leave the roof unprotected against the weather and leaks.
- Flashing Failure: Damaged or displaced flashing around chimneys, skylights, or vents often leads to sudden leaks during rainfall.
