New Roof Installation (Pitched and Flat) in Wembley
A new roof is a significant investment—one that protects your family, possessions, and the structural integrity of your property for decades.
Given the age of much of Wembley’s housing stock, many properties are reaching the 20- to 30-year mark, at which full replacement is more economical than repeated repairs.Â
As expert roofing contractors in Wembley, we provide tailored new roof installation services designed for longevity and local weather resilience.
Most Wembley family homes feature pitched roofs, traditionally covered in clay tiles or natural slate. Our services focus on maintaining the area’s aesthetic character while significantly boosting performance.
We carefully source high-quality tiles and slates that match the classic Wembley look, ensuring proper battens, breathable underlayment, and a robust installation that can handle London’s increasing wind and rain.
Considering a durable, low-maintenance alternative? We offer high-performance synthetic slates and concrete tiles that provide superior longevity and can often be a more cost-effective solution than traditional natural materials.
For home improvers and renovators planning a loft conversion, we ensure the new roof structure meets all current Building Regulations, addressing common concerns about planning permission and structural changes.
For the rear extensions of semi-detached homes, garages, and the modern apartment blocks around Wembley Park, a reliable flat roof is essential.
We guide you through the pros and cons of the top modern systems to help you choose the best one for your specific needs, tackling the popular consumer concern about material selection.
We provide felt flat roof and GRP roof installation and for maximum peace of mind in Wembley, we often recommend a seamless GRP (fibreglass) flat roof system. While the initial investment is higher, its proven 50-year life expectancy drastically reduces the risk of leaks and future costs compared to cheaper membranes.
From retail units along High Road to small industrial units, we provide robust commercial roofing solutions, including metal cladding, single-ply systems, and reliable industrial roofing, for business continuity.

Roof Repair (Pitched and Flat) in Wembley
Visible leaks and water ingress are the common concerns for our customers. We know how stressful a damp patch on the ceiling can be, especially during the wetter months. Our rapid-response roof repair service in Wembley is designed to address defects quickly and decisively.
Given the prevalence of older, inter-war houses, the need for pitched roof repair in Wembley is constant. We provide high-quality workmanship for replacing cracked, broken, or slipped clay tiles and slates before the underlayment (often deteriorating felt) fails.
The junction where the roof meets a wall is a common source of leaks. We ensure all flashings are correctly installed, sealed, and protected, using traditional techniques or modern alternatives.
The valleys—where two roof sections meet—are highly prone to sag and leakage. We strip, repair, and install new valley linings (often GRP or lead roofing) to create a new, waterproof channel.
For flat roof extensions, leaks often stem from failing seams, membrane tears, or “ponding” (standing water). Our flat roof repair in Wembley service assesses the damage and provides the most appropriate fix for minor tears in felt or EPDM. We offer professional patching solutions.
For older, tired flat felt roofs, we can often apply a liquid-applied GRP or liquid membrane system to seal the entire surface, providing a new, seamless layer without the high cost of a full strip and re-deck.
This offers a middle ground on cost and longevity, directly addressing the customer’s need for cost-effective, durable repairs.

We strip the old covering, inspect and repair the rafters, install new breathable felt and treated timber battens, and install your chosen new tile roof replacement in Wembley or a slate finish.
A full-pitched roof can often be completed in a few days to a few weeks, depending on complexity.
This involves stripping the old membrane (felt), inspecting the deck, and installing a new, highly durable system, such as GRP (fibreglass) flat roof replacement in Wembley with a new OSB 3 deck, ensuring a manufacturer-backed guarantee.

Skylight Window Installation, Repair, and Replacement in Wembley
Skylights—or roof lights—are a fantastic way to flood your home with natural light, particularly for loft conversions common in Wembley. However, when poorly installed, they can become a serious leak point, as seen in many online complaints.
We are specialists in skylight window installation in Wembley for both pitched-roof and flat-roof applications. We ensure the correct flashing kits are used for the roof type and pitch, eliminating the risk of leaks associated with poor installation.
We provide clear advice on planning permission. Simple repairs are fine, but installing new dormers or windows that protrude more than 150mm from the existing roof plane usually requires formal approval. We help you navigate the rules for your property.
If you’re experiencing leaks around an existing Velux window or another brand, our skylight window repair team in Wembley can diagnose whether the issue is the glazing, the sealant, or—most commonly—the flashing around the unit.
We offer efficient skylight window replacement in Wembley if the unit is past its best.
Want to add or repair your skylight at an affordable price? Call us now for skylight service.Â

FAQ's
1. Do I need planning permission for a roof replacement in Wembley?
For most residential roof replacements in Wembley, you generally do not need planning permission if you are replacing the roof “like for like” and not changing the roof’s height or shape. However, you do need permission for altering the roof height or shape, installing new dormer windows or any alteration that protrudes more than 150mm from the existing roof plane.
2. What are the best materials for a flat roof in Wembley?
You have three main options:
- GRP (Fibreglass): Our top recommendation. It is seamless, jointless, incredibly durable, and comes with a 25-year guarantee. It costs more but offers the longest life.
- EPDM (Rubber): Excellent flexibility and a long lifespan (50+ years). Ideal for complex roofs with many penetrations.
- High-Performance Felt: The lowest cost option. Modern felts are much better than old systems, but the seams remain a weak point for long-term water ingress.
Our flat roof specialists can inspect your roof deck and recommend the optimal, cost-effective system for your budget and required lifespan.
3. How important are roof inspections and surveys?
Very important, especially for Wembley’s older housing stock. A professional roof inspections in Wembley or roof surveys in Wembley can detect minor issues like cracked mortar, corroded flashing, or damaged underlayment before they turn into a major leak.
4. What causes my roof leaks in Wembley?
Ageing materials, missing tiles, broken ridge or hip tiles, failed underlay, faulty flashing around chimneys or valleys, and blocked gutters are common causes. In Wembley, heavy rain and freeze–thaw cycles accelerate deterioration. Our roof surveys identify the root cause and propose the most cost‑effective solution.
5. How long will my new roof last in Wembley?
A well‑installed slate roof can last 80–100 years, while quality concrete tiles last around 40–60 years. Felt roofs last 10–20 years, GRP and EPDM systems 25–30 years or more. Regular maintenance prolongs longevity.
6. How much does a roof repair cost?
Repair costs vary by material and extent of damage. Checkatrade estimates £100–£140 per m² for bitumen flat roofs, £130–£180 for GRP repairs, £120–£170 for EPDM repairs, and £110–£160 for clay tile roof repairs. We provide free surveys and itemised quotes.
