A new roof should be specified for the building, rather than chosen on appearance alone. KC Roofing & Scaffolding Ltd installs and replaces flat and pitched roofs across East London, North London and Essex, coordinating roofing and in-house scaffolding through one team.

Is replacement the right option?

We assess the coverings, roof details, drainage and accessible structure before recommending the scope. Local repair or a roof overhaul may be sensible where the roof is still serviceable. Replacement is considered where deterioration, repeated failure or the overall condition makes repair unsuitable or uneconomic.

Flat and pitched roofing options

• Slate and tiled roof replacement, including ridges, verges, valleys and flashings.
• GRP fibreglass and felt roofing for suitable flat-roof applications.
• Liquid waterproofing systems where the substrate and specification are appropriate.
• Roofline and drainage details considered as part of the agreed works.
• Insulation and ventilation requirements reviewed for the proposed construction.

The selected system must suit the roof pitch, substrate, exposure and intended use. We explain the materials and details in a written specification. Any structural concerns or specialist requirements are identified for further assessment before work proceeds.

How a re-roofing project is planned

1. Inspection and discussion of your objectives, existing defects and access.
2. A written quotation explaining the specification, scaffolding, waste arrangements and exclusions.
3. Agreement on the programme, temporary weather protection and any necessary approvals.
4. Removal or preparation of the existing roof as specified, followed by installation and detailing.
5. Completion photographs and the agreed guarantee documentation.

Access and protection

Tell us about rear additions, extensions, conservatories, shared access and boundaries. These affect scaffolding and material handling. We plan work around the occupants and discuss likely disruption before confirming dates.

Written guarantees

Qualifying new roof installations may carry company workmanship guarantees of up to 25 years. A 10-year CORC insurance-backed guarantee may be available on eligible projects, subject to current scheme approval and a policy being arranged and issued. The cover, terms and exclusions for your roof are confirmed in writing; no blanket guarantee applies to every system or project.

Frequently asked questions

Can you quote from photographs?

Photos help with an initial assessment, but inspection and measurements may be needed to confirm a replacement specification and price.

Can I change from tiles to slate?

Possibly, but suitability depends on pitch, loading, detailing and any planning or other requirements. We assess the proposal before confirming it.

Is scaffolding included?

The quotation explains the access arrangement and whether scaffolding is included in the price. Our in-house service allows the access and roofing programme to be coordinated.
