Roofing Plaistow

Plaistow roofs tell you exactly when the street was built, and in E13 that is rarely all at once. The area took heavy bomb damage, so a single road can run Victorian terrace, post-war infill and 1960s block in the space of two hundred yards – and each one fails differently.

On the surviving Victorian terraces it is slate, hidden valley gutters and shared chimney stacks. On the post-war replacements it is interlocking concrete tile, which is heavy, and where the battens or felt beneath have perished the tiles start slipping in numbers rather than one at a time. On the flat-roofed blocks and their walkways it is felt and asphalt that has gone brittle. Knowing which you have got is the difference between a repair and a re-roof.

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.

What the service covers in Plaistow: emergency roof repairs and leak tracing, slate and concrete tile re-roofing, felt and battens replacement, EPDM and GRP flat roofing, chimney repointing, rebuilds and removals, leadwork and flashing, valley gutter renewal, guttering, fascias and soffits, and planned maintenance for landlords across E13.
