Slate and Tile Roofing in London and Essex

KC Roofing & Scaffolding Ltd repairs and replaces slate and tiled roofs across London and Essex. Established in 1992, we work with homeowners, landlords and commercial property managers to assess pitched roof defects and explain suitable options.

We discuss natural slate, suitable manufactured slate, clay tiles and concrete tiles according to the building, existing covering and proposed specification. A local repair can be practical where the surrounding roof is sound; more extensive deterioration may call for wider work or replacement.

Assessing a slate or tiled roof

We look at accessible coverings, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings and junctions, together with visible signs of movement or leaking. Inspection limits are explained, and concealed defects may only become apparent during work.

Repairs and replacement

Proposed work may include replacing damaged or slipped coverings, repairing associated details or renewing a larger roof area. Materials, fixing approach and access arrangements are discussed in the written scope. Matching existing materials depends on availability and suitability.

Planning safe access

Scaffolding may be required around pitched roofs. Tell us about narrow access, neighbouring property, extensions and occupied areas so we can plan the assessment and proposed work.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace just a few damaged tiles or slates?

A local repair may be suitable if the surrounding roof and fixings remain sound. We assess the cause before proposing work.

Does a roof leak mean the covering needs replacing?

Not always. Flashing, valleys, chimney junctions or drainage can cause leaks. Assessment helps identify the practical repair or replacement options.

Can I have a written roof survey before buying a property?

Yes. A pre-purchase roof survey can help explain condition and proposed works. The scope and any survey fee are agreed beforehand.

What guarantee applies?

Guarantee terms are confirmed in the quotation and contract. Qualifying new-roof work may carry a company guarantee of up to 25 years; eligible work may also receive a separately issued 10-year CORC insurance-backed guarantee, subject to terms and issuance. Local repairs have their own agreed scope.
