Roofing

Roofing contractors in London

New roofs, repairs, flat roofs and leadwork — carried out by the same team that can put right everything the roof has been protecting.

What we do

Roofing, done properly.

Roofing is where a lot of our work starts. We install new pitched and flat roofs, carry out repairs, and do the leadwork and flashings that keep water out at chimneys, valleys and walls.

Because Swift Fix is a building company as well as a roofing contractor, we can also deal with what a leaking roof leaves behind — damaged ceilings, plaster and decoration — without you having to bring in another firm.

01

Re-roofing & new roofs

Full strip and re-cover in slate or tile, with new membrane, battens and ventilation.

We look, photograph what we find and explain it before we quote.

Repair or replace? We will tell you straight

Not every leak needs a new roof. Often the cause is a single slipped slate, a failed flashing or a blocked outlet, and a targeted repair is the right answer. We find the cause first and show you photos of what we have found.

When a roof has reached the end of its life — widespread slipped or porous slates, failed underlay, sagging battens — patching it keeps costing money. In that case we will explain why a re-roof makes more sense and price it clearly.

Pitched roofs, flat roofs and everything in between

London housing means every type of roof: slate terraces, tiled semis, flat-roofed rear extensions, dormers and period details like lead-clad bays. Our recent work includes full slate re-roofs, a lead-clad domed bay and a flat-roofed garden gym.

  • Natural and fibre-cement slate
  • Clay and concrete tiles
  • EPDM, GRP and felt flat roofs
  • Leadwork to bays, valleys, abutments and chimneys
  • Roofs over extensions, garages and outbuildings

Tidy, safe and protected

Access is planned before we start, scaffolding is arranged where the job needs it, and gardens, paths and neighbouring properties are protected. We clear up at the end of each day, and you get photos of the work as it progresses.

Questions

Roofing: common questions

Anything else? Call 020 8050 2887 or send us a message.

Do you offer free roof inspections?

Yes. We offer free roof inspections and no-obligation quotes. We will photograph any problems we find so you can see exactly what needs doing.

Which areas do you cover for roofing?

We work across London and into Kent. Recent roofing projects include a full re-roof in Lambeth. Send us your postcode and we will confirm.

Can you repair the ceilings and decoration damaged by a leak?

Yes. As well as roofing, we carry out plastering, decorating and full refurbishments, so we can put right the inside of the property once the roof is watertight.

How long does a new roof take?

A typical re-roof on a terraced or semi-detached house takes one to two weeks, depending on access, the size of the roof and the weather.
