Very trustworthy too. Would recommend 👍
The work was completed to a high standard and was very competitively priced.
Jason is polite, friendly and thoughtful in his approach.
I totally recommend Jason and Ross Roofing.
We contracted Jason to replace our rear guttering which was inadequate during heavy rain. He came and quoted for the work to uprate and improve it. As the guttering ran above a glass conservatory he said he would ensure that this was protected and explained how he would tackle the work. He was pleasant, professional and easy to work with.
On the day he let us know when he would arrive and carried out the work to specification and budget and was finished and had tidied up within his estimated time. He showed us a video of water draining along the new guttering when he tested it. He called us the following day (after some light rain) to check all was well and said if there were any future problems to get in touch.
We were very happy with the work and we would happily recommend Jason for future roof or gutter work.

New Roofs, Tiling & Slating
We fit every major type of tile, including:
- Clay tiles
- Concrete tiles
- Natural slate
- Man-made slate
- Plain tiles
- Composite roofs
- Interlocking systems
East London has one of the widest mixes of homes in the country.
Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war maisonettes, loft-converted houses, and modern apartments all sit side by side. Each one needs the right roof tile to match its style and age.
Clay and concrete tiles suit the 1930s semis throughout areas like Leyton and Forest Gate, keeping the classic look.
Natural slate is ideal for older Victorian terraces near Bethnal Green, Stratford, and Hackney, holding the period style while standing up to bad weather.
Interlocking tiles and man-made slate give a low-maintenance finish on converted lofts and new developments.
For flat roof sections on extensions or apartment blocks, we design and fit roofs built for long life and strong waterproofing.
Every new roof is installed with:
- Correct airflow
- Proper insulation
- Secure ridge finishing
Materials come from reputable UK manufacturers, ensuring colour consistency, strength, and lasting performance.
Of course, not every property needs a full replacement. Sometimes repairs are all that’s required…
Roof Repairs
Even a small roofing issue can quickly turn into dampness, wood rot, or interior damage if left untreated.
Our Roofers repair every type of roof found in East London, from older slate terraces to flat-roof extensions and modern apartment blocks.
Common repair types include:
- Tile and slate replacement
- Leak detection and repair
- Flashing and leadwork repairs
- Ridge and verge repairs
- Flat roof repairs (felt, bitumen, GRP, single-ply)
- Chimney repairs
- Gutter and roofline repairs
- Emergency storm-damage repairs
Terraces in areas like Hackney, Bow, and Leyton often have older leadwork failures or slates which have slipped.
1930s homes in Forest Gate and East Ham commonly show wear along ridges or valleys where heavy rain collects.
Modern flats may have roof blisters or poor water run-off.
We pinpoint the problem’s cause and carry out repairs which last, using the right materials for your home.
Moving on from pitched roofs and repairs, many homes rely on flat roofing systems…
Flat Roofs
Flat roofs are common across East London, especially on kitchen extensions, loft dormers, garage conversions, and modern apartment blocks.
Flat roofs face heavy use, pollution, and quick-changing weather, so they need strong materials built to last.
We fit a full range of modern flat roofing systems:
- Three-layer felt roofing – strong, affordable protection
- Torch-on felt systems – great for residential and business roofs
- GRP roofs – a seamless, watertight, strong surface
- EPDM rubber roofs – eco-friendly, flexible, and resistant to shrinking
Homes in Hackney, Leyton, and Bethnal Green are often suited to GRP or EPDM for their low-maintenance needs.
Older terraces with rear extensions suit three-layer felt or torch-on systems for cost-effective strength.
Every flat roof is fitted with:
- Proper water run-off
- Correct insulation
- Accurate edge detailing
We also handle leadwork and flashing. Leadwork is essential for keeping a property watertight…
Leadwork & Flashing
Many roofs rely on leadwork to stay watertight, especially around chimneys, parapet walls, and dormers.
We carry out all forms of traditional and modern leadwork, including:
- Chimney aprons and flashings
- Step flashings along wall joints
- Lead valleys for pitched intersections
- Parapet and dormer coverings
- Lead soakers for tile-to-brick joins
Every installation includes:
- Milled lead sheet to BS EN 12588 standards
- Lead Sheet Association (LSA) fitting methods
- Proper joints, fixings, and expansion spacing
Quality leadwork often outlasts the roof itself.
Our lead services keep homes protected from leaks while preserving the property’s traditional look.
Beyond the main roof structure, the roofline also plays a major role in protecting your home…
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering Roof edges vary, but all need protection against heavy rainfall, pollution, and age.
We install and replace:
- uPVC fascias
- uPVC soffits
- Guttering
- Downpipes
Modern uPVC roof edges resist warping, fading, and cracking. It provides improved roofline airflow, preventing condensation in loft spaces.
Our guttering systems complement facias and soffits, and can handle high water flow.
Every installation is made to match the home’s style, giving clean lines and a tidy look.
We also:
- Improve water run-off angles
- Replace damaged brackets
- Ensure your roofline channels water away from the home
A fitted roofline protects your property for years and gives it a fresh, modern look.
Once the roof and roofline are secure, many homeowners look to improve light and ventilation…
Roof Windows & Skylights
East London has many loft conversions, rear extensions, and updated terraces. All great for new roof windows and skylights.
We install:
- Velux windows
- Flat roof skylights
- Sun tunnels
- Custom glass roof windows
Pitched-roof Velux windows suit Victorian terraces in Hackney, Bethnal Green, and Bow.
Flat roof skylights work well on modern extensions across Stratford, Leyton, and Forest Gate.
Every installation is:
- Fully sealed
- Secure
- Built to last
We tailor the size, style, and opening type to the room, improving airflow and bringing in more daylight.
