- Ealing
At Smart Roofing London, we’ve delivered roofing services in Ealing (W5, W13) and neighbouring Perivale (UB6) and Northolt (UB5) for over 25 years, working on everything from Victorian terraces to modern flat conversions and commercial units. As a roofing contractor in Ealing, our job is simple: sustainable, honest, and long-lasting roofing — no upselling, no vague quotes.
We work with homeowners, landlords, and businesses across new roof installation, roof repairs, roof replacement, roof cleaning, guttering, chimney work, and skylight windows. Every project follows current building regulations, which usually apply to re-roofing work, and respects conservation-area rules common across Ealing.
We know Ealing’s mild but damp microclimate well — the tree cover around Pitshanger and Walpole Park in particular accelerates moss growth and freeze-thaw damage on north-facing pitches, which is why roof cleaning and maintenance feature heavily in our advice below.

New Roof Installation (Pitched and Flat) in Ealing
New roof installation demands expertise in both traditional pitched roofs and modern flat roofs. Ealing’s Victorian, Edwardian, and 1930s mock-Tudor housing stock needs roofers who respect heritage while meeting current performance standards.
We offer roof installation in Ealing, including pitched tiles, natural slate systems, and flat roofing for extensions, garages, and commercial units.
For pitched roofs, we fit clay or concrete tiles, natural slate, and composite materials that preserve the character of properties in conservation areas while meeting current building regulations.
Flat roof installation is a growing share of Ealing’s housing stock, particularly for extensions, garages, and apartment conversions. We install three main systems: traditional felt, GRP (fibreglass), and EPDM rubber.
GRP outperforms older felt systems — it handles freeze-thaw cycling better and doesn’t degrade under UV exposure the way ageing felt membranes do. Flat roofing remains the most budget-friendly option for extensions, though we’re always upfront about how its lifespan compares to GRP or EPDM.
Our team ensures correct airflow, drainage, and surface preparation to prevent the water pooling and early failures common with poorly installed systems.
For conservatory roof installation in Ealing, we combine architectural aesthetics with structural performance — detailed site surveys, structural assessments, and transparent, itemised pricing with no surprise costs.

Roof Repair (Pitched and Flat) in Ealing
Timely roof repair stops minor damage becoming a costly structural failure. Our roof repair specialists in Ealing fix leaks, missing tiles, flashing failures, and storm damage quickly and precisely.
Roof repairs in Ealing typically start with a thorough inspection — including drone survey and thermal imaging where needed — to catch hidden damage before it causes water ingress or mould.
Pitched roof repair on Victorian homes often means fixing wind-lifted tiles, corroded flashing, and moss-damaged mortar — all of which accelerate structural decay if left.
Slate roof repair requires specialist knowledge. We source matching slate and use lime mortar pointing to preserve authenticity while keeping the roof watertight. Tile roof repair follows the same principle — matching materials and methods that respect the original build.
Roof flashing repair is a critical part of roofing repairs in Ealing, and roof valley repair resolves water-flow issues using correct materials, slope, and overlap to stop leaks at the join.
Flat roof repair tackles pooling water, membrane cracks, and seam failure — common on extensions and garages. This can mean patching or, for severe damage, re-felting sections. GRP flat roof repair uses polyester resin for cracks but may need a partial replacement for extensive damage.
Our emergency team is on call 24/7 for storm damage, sudden leaks, or fallen debris — minimising water ingress, protecting your insurance claim, and preventing further damage.

Roof Replacement (Pitched and Flat) in Ealing
Once repair costs reach their limit, a full roof replacement offers better long-term value. We provide roof replacement in Ealing for roofs that are 20–30 years old, resolving major faults or upgrading insulation, ventilation, and structural support to meet current codes.
Slate roof replacement preserves architectural character while adding modern performance. A full replacement allows for substrate inspection, timber repair where rotted, underlayment upgrades, and new flashing. We source slate matching the existing aesthetic, respecting conservation-area guidelines.
Replacing a tile roof follows a set process: check the structure underneath, upgrade the underlayment for better airflow, then fit tiles matching the building’s style.
Roof flashing replacement is standard with full re-roofing. Original lead or slate flashing can last as long as the tiles, but valley intersections and chimney junctions often need replacing sooner.
Roof valley replacement rebuilds the critical water-management zone where two roof planes meet, using robust underlayment, correct slope, and overlapping tiles to prevent leaks.
Flat roof replacement covers both felt and GRP systems. Felt-to-GRP upgrades offer better longevity and lower maintenance; GRP replacement delivers a seamless, watertight finish that can last 30+ years.
Every replacement project includes detailed specifications, itemised quotations, and phased scheduling to minimise disruption.

Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal in Ealing
Ealing’s leafy streets — particularly around Pitshanger, Walpole Park, and the more tree-lined stretches of West Ealing — trap moisture and organic debris on north-facing roof pitches, accelerating moss and algae growth. Left untreated, moss lifts tiles, blocks gutters, and traps damp against the roof deck, shortening its lifespan.
Our roof cleaning service in Ealing includes:
- Manual moss and debris removal (no high-pressure jet-washing, which can damage tiles and force water under them)
- Biocide treatment to slow regrowth
- Gutter clearing as part of the same visit
- A post-clean inspection to flag any tiles or flashing that need attention
We recommend roof cleaning every 12–24 months for tree-shaded properties, and as part of your spring or autumn inspection otherwise. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to extend a roof’s life without a full repair.
Book a roof cleaning visit — we can combine it with your routine inspection.
Roof Survey & Inspection in Ealing
A professional roof survey is different from a quick visual check — it’s a documented assessment used for pre-purchase decisions, insurance claims, extension planning, or simply understanding a roof’s remaining lifespan.
Our roof surveys in Ealing include:
- Full visual inspection of tiles, slate, flashing, valleys, and ridge lines
- Drone imagery for steep or hard-to-access pitches
- Thermal imaging to detect hidden damp or insulation gaps
- A written report with photos, condition rating, and repair/replacement recommendations
Surveys typically take 30–60 minutes on-site, with the written report following within 48 hours. Home buyers and sellers in Ealing’s older housing stock often request a survey ahead of exchange to avoid post-completion surprises.
We offer a free same-day roof inspection for repair and replacement enquiries — a full documented survey (for insurance, mortgage, or pre-purchase purposes) is a separate, fixed-fee service. Ask us which one you need.
Gutter, Fascia and Soffit Installation, Repair & Replacement in Ealing
Your roofline protects the building from weather damage, yet gutters, fascias, and soffits often go unmaintained until a problem appears. Our guttering service in Ealing covers inspection, cleaning, repair, and replacement of the systems that manage drainage and protect the structure beneath.
Fascias and soffits are central to your roof’s architecture, affecting both kerb appeal and structural integrity. When gutters overflow from blockages or damage, water saturates the fascia board, causing rot and costly repairs.
We install UPVC soffits and guttering in Ealing — a durable, low-maintenance alternative to timber that resists weathering and holds its colour with only occasional cleaning.
Our gutter installers make sure the slope, fixings, and joints are correct to stop leaks and overflow. We also fit gutter guards and leaf strainers to cut down on blockages and maintenance.
Gutter repair addresses leaks, sagging, and blockages — clearing debris, removing moss (treated with biocide), and resealing joins. Severely damaged gutters need full gutter replacement, which also improves kerb appeal.
Fascia and soffit installation is usually done together for consistent colour and complete roofline protection. Fascia and soffit repair may involve replacing timber sections where UPVC wasn’t fitted originally — rotted fascias and soffits compromise roof ventilation and speed up deterioration.

Chimney Stack Repair, Repointing, Flashing & Leadwork in Ealing
Many Ealing homes have prominent period chimneys, and weather exposure cracks bricks and crumbles mortar over time. Our chimney repair service in Ealing fixes bad mortar, crumbling brickwork, broken flashing, and loose pots — all of which can let in water or create safety risks.
Chimney flashing repair is essential, since the seal between chimney and roof is often the first thing to fail, letting water into ceilings and walls. Traditional lead or slate-bedded flashing deteriorates over time, particularly where freeze-thaw cycles stress the joint.
Chimney stack repair starts with a structural check — is the stack straight and sound, or leaning and showing signs of settling?
Chimney repointing removes old, worn mortar between the bricks and replaces it with new lime mortar matched to the original — respecting period construction while restoring weather-tightness.
Chimney leadwork refers to the lead sheet or soakers forming the flashing seal between chimney and roof. Good leadwork can last over a century, as long as the chimney itself — but poor leadwork or improper flashing causes recurring leaks.
For urgent chimney issues, call us now for 24/7 emergency service.
Skylight Window Installation, Repair & Replacement in Ealing
Skylight windows turn attic space into bright, usable rooms — essential for loft conversions and roof modernisation projects.
Our skylight installation service in Ealing helps you choose the right design, in line with building regulations and the Party Wall Act, with waterproof flashing to prevent leaks at the roof junction.
Installing skylights on flat roofs differs from pitched roofs — flat-roof units sit almost level, reducing wind resistance, while pitched-roof versions use curbing and flashing suited to the roof’s slope and water runoff.
Skylight repair fixes condensation, broken flashing, and damaged glass — issues that lead to poor insulation and water ingress. We assess whether resealing or reweatherstripping (repair) makes more sense than a full unit replacement, and for loft conversions, current building regulations require emergency egress skylights that allow occupants to exit safely.
We supply high-quality skylights with optional blinds, opening mechanisms, and thermal barriers, and handle building permit paperwork so the flashing fits the roof perfectly.

Commercial & Landlord Roofing in Ealin
Beyond residential work, we support landlords, property managers, and commercial property owners across Ealing’s retail units, offices, and multi-let residential buildings — a segment with different priorities: minimal downtime, compliance documentation, and predictable maintenance costs.
For commercial roofing contractors in Ealing work, we typically handle:
- Flat roof maintenance and replacement for shops, warehouses, and office buildings
- Scheduled roof maintenance contracts for landlords managing multiple properties
- Condition reports and compliance documentation for HMOs and rented properties
- Out-of-hours access scheduling to avoid disrupting tenants or trading hours
If you manage several properties across Ealing and surrounding boroughs, ask about a maintenance contract — routine inspections catch small issues before they become expensive emergency callouts.

Impressive Words from
Customers!
FQA's
1. How do I find a reliable roofing contractor in Ealing?
Look for local expertise, accreditations, insurance, and a track record of satisfied customers. We offer free consultations and clear, itemised quotes for every job.
2. How much does a new roof cost in Ealing?
A new roof on a semi-detached Victorian house in Ealing typically costs £4,250–£6,500, depending on size, shape, and materials. GRP flat roofs cost £100–150/m² installed, traditional felt £65–85/m², and slate replacement can exceed £200–250/m². We provide fixed, itemised quotes.
3. Do I need planning permission for roof replacement in Ealing?
Like-for-like replacements usually fall under permitted development and don’t need planning permission. If the new roof is taller, looks different, or your property sits in a conservation area (common across Ealing), permission may be required. Read our full guide to planning permission for roof replacement.
4. Do you offer roof cleaning and moss removal in Ealing?
Yes. We manually remove moss and debris and apply a biocide treatment to slow regrowth — recommended every 12–24 months for tree-shaded roofs. High-pressure washing isn’t used, as it can force water under tiles.
5. How do I get a roof quote in Ealing?
Book a free site survey, and we’ll provide a fixed, itemised quote with no obligation — usually within 24–48 hours of the visit. There are no hidden costs added later.
6. How often should I inspect my roof?
Twice a year — spring and autumn — to check condition, clear gutters, remove moss, and inspect flashing. Additional checks after storms or heavy snow are worthwhile. Moss removal and biocide treatment extend roof life, especially in tree-shaded parts of Ealing like Pitshanger.
7. What are the signs that my roof needs to be replaced?
Missing or cracked tiles, ongoing leaks, sagging areas, moss growth, or daylight showing through the attic. If your roof is 25+ years old and has needed three or more recent repairs, replacement usually offers better long-term value than continued patching.
8. Can you handle emergency roof repairs?
Yes — our emergency roofing team in Ealing operates 24/7, responding to storm damage, sudden leaks, and structural issues within hours. We apply temporary protection, schedule permanent repairs, and coordinate directly with insurers, providing documentation for claims.
9. Do you work with landlords and commercial properties in Ealing?
Yes. We support landlords, property managers, and commercial property owners with flat roof maintenance, scheduled inspections, condition reports, and out-of-hours scheduling to avoid disrupting tenants or trading hours.
10. Which areas around Ealing do you cover?
Alongside Ealing Broadway and West Ealing, we regularly work in Perivale, Northolt, Hanwell, Greenford, Northfields, and Pitshanged — call us to confirm coverage for your specific street.
