Roofing Leytonstone

Leytonstone is Edwardian and late Victorian almost all the way through, and that makes the roof problems here fairly predictable – which is good news, because predictable is cheap to fix if you catch it early. E11 is bay-fronted terraces and larger semis around Bushwood and the High Road, mostly natural slate or clay tile, with the bay roofs and the back addition doing most of the leaking.

Two things fail more than anything else in E11. The small lead-covered bay roof at the front, which is often original, splits along a fold and drips into the front bedroom. And the junction where the back addition meets the main roof, where the flashing has been patched by three different people over forty years. Neither is a big job caught early. Both become a re-roof if left through a couple of winters.

Before anything is agreed: a free inspection, photographs of what is actually wrong, and a written itemised quote. No survey fee, no vague from-prices, no pressure to decide on the spot.
