West London, Surrey & Elmbridge
Specialist residential roofing contractors
Roofing shaped around the property, not a standard specification
ER Group London undertakes roof repairs, re-roofing, flat roofing, specialist leadwork and roof refurbishment for private homes across West London, Surrey and Elmbridge.
Our work is particularly suited to period houses, listed and conservation-area properties, substantial private homes and architect-led residential projects where access, protection, materials and visible detailing need careful thought.
A good roofing scope starts with understanding the defect. Water ingress may come from the main roof covering, but it can also begin at valleys, abutments, chimneys, parapets, rooflights, outlets, guttering or the junction between pitched and flat roof areas.
Where an architect, surveyor, designer, estate manager or property professional is involved, we can work from drawings, reports, schedules and site information so the roofing package remains aligned with the wider project.
Our Work
Roofing for Private, Period and Listed Homes
Selected roofing projects showing repair, renewal, access, protection and detailing across private homes, listed buildings and roof-terrace work.
Roof Terrace Conversion, Fulham
A pitched roof area converted into a finished roof terrace with access, decking and glass guarding.
Insulated EPDM Roof Terrace, Paddington
A leaking asphalt roof rebuilt as an insulated EPDM roof terrace with walk-on rooflights and decking.
Slate Roof Renewal & Remedial Structural Work

Roof repairs
Leak investigation and durable roof repairs
Repair of slipped or damaged slate and tiles, failed flashings, valleys, gutters, chimneys, rooflights and vulnerable roof junctions, with the cause reviewed before the repair is agreed.
Re-roofing and refurbishment
Planned renewal when patch repairs are no longer enough
Roof refurbishment, new roofs and re-roofing for properties where coverings, underlay, battens, insulation, leadwork or drainage details need a coordinated long-term approach.
Period, listed and conservation-area homes
Heritage roofing with compatible materials and details
Repair and renewal of traditional roofs using appropriate slate, clay tile, leadwork and conservation-sensitive detailing for older and protected residential buildings.
Leadwork, valleys and weathering details
Specialist leadwork for complex roof junctions
Lead flashings, valleys, gutters, abutments, parapets and other weathering details formed and repaired as part of the surrounding roof construction.
Repair what can be retained. Renew what has failed.
The right roofing scope is proportionate to the building
Some roofs need a focused repair. Others need planned renewal of coverings, leadwork, insulation or drainage. ER Group London helps define a practical, technically coherent scope and then carries out the agreed work with suitable access, protection and control.
Period, listed and conservation-area homes
Older roofs need compatible decisions, not just new materials
Retention before replacement
Where existing slate, tile or leadwork remains serviceable, it should be identified before a renewal scope assumes full replacement.
Material compatibility
New slate, tile, mortar and lead details should be selected with the existing roof, appearance and building fabric in mind.
Junctions matter
Valleys, abutments, chimneys, parapets, rooflights and penetrations are often as important to performance as the main covering.
Project information
Listed-building conditions, conservation requirements, drawings, surveys and specifications should inform the work where they apply.
Opening-up and records
Photographs and condition records help distinguish retained fabric from newly exposed defects and support clear decisions if the scope changes.
Temporary protection and sequencing
Sensitive roof areas should be opened in a controlled sequence, with temporary weathering planned around the property and retained fabric.
Working with professional project teams
Roofing coordinated with the wider residential project
ER Group London works with architects, building surveyors, designers, estate managers and residential property professionals where roofing needs to align with drawings, specifications, existing fabric, access constraints and the sequence of other trades.
We review the available information, raise clear questions when site conditions change and help keep the roofing package understandable within the wider programme.

Care, protection and detail throughout the roofing work
A clear starting point
The enquiry establishes the property, the symptoms or intended work, access considerations and any drawings, reports or previous repair history.
A scope linked to findings
Recommendations distinguish between local repair, temporary risk reduction, planned refurbishment and full roof renewal.
Occupied-home awareness
Work is planned with consideration for interiors, occupants, neighbours, gardens, deliveries and waste movement.
Attention to interfaces
Leadwork, drainage, rooflights, parapets, walls and adjoining roofs are treated as part of the weathering strategy.
Clear communication
Concealed defects and necessary changes are explained clearly rather than absorbed into vague descriptions of extra work.
Useful handover information
The completed scope, relevant observations and sensible maintenance priorities can be recorded for future reference.

FAQs
Questions before a roofing enquiry
-
Yes. The right approach depends on the cause, extent and condition of the surrounding roof. A local repair may be suitable where a defect is isolated and the adjoining materials remain serviceable. Where failures are widespread, previous repairs have not held or several roof elements are reaching the end of their useful life, planned refurbishment or re-roofing may be the better long-term option.
-
Yes. Roofing on older or protected buildings needs to respond to the existing fabric, appearance and any relevant consent, specification or conservation requirement. Materials and details are selected according to the property and the approved scope.
-
Yes. ER Group London can work with architects, building surveyors, designers, estate managers and residential property professionals where the roofing package forms part of a wider private residential project.
-
ER Group London works across West London, South West London, Surrey and Elmbridge. Project suitability depends on the property, location and likely scope rather than postcode alone.
-
Please send the property address, the problem or intended work, photographs if available, and any drawings, reports, schedules or previous repair information that may help explain the roof’s history.
