Specialist Pitched Roofing Materials

We work with London’s most iconic architectural styles, from Victorian terraces to modern builds. We provide "like-for-like" matches for heritage properties and high-performance upgrades for contemporary homes.

1. Natural & Reclaimed Slate

Ideal for conservation areas like Richmond, Hampstead, and Greenwich. Natural slate is virtually fireproof and can last over 100 years. We use high-spec Code 4 lead for all slate valleys and flashings.

2. Clay & Concrete Tiling

From traditional “Rosemary” plain tiles to modern interlocking concrete, we offer a vast range of profiles.

Concrete: Cost-effective and extremely durable.
Clay: The classic choice for a rich, warm aesthetic that ages beautifully.

3. Insulation & Membrane Upgrades

Every replacement includes the removal of old, brittle felt. We install high-performance breathable membranes and can upgrade your loft insulation to meet 2026 energy standards while the roof is open.

Why Choose Jade Roofing Experts for Your New Roof?

Building Control Liaison

Q: How long does a full roof replacement take in London?

A: Typically, a standard terraced or semi-detached house takes between 5 to 10 working days, depending on weather conditions and material choices.

Q: Do I need planning permission for a new roof?

A: Usually, no. If you are replacing the roof with similar materials, it falls under Permitted Development. However, if you live in a Listed Building or a Conservation Area, special rules apply. We can guide you through this process.

Q: How much does a new pitched roof cost in London?

A: Prices typically range from £5,500 to £10,000+ depending on the size of the house and material choice (Slate is more labor-intensive than Tile). We provide a fixed-price, itemized quote so there are no surprises.

Q: Can I stay in the house while you replace the roof?

A: Absolutely. We ensure the roof is made “watertight” at the end of every working day, so you and your family are never exposed to the elements.
