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 and Surrey.

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.

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 roof 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.

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.

What clients should expect

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 roof 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.

From first review to handover

A clear route from the reported problem to the agreed roofing scope

Step 01

Enquiry

The property location, roofing or refurbishment requirement, project stage, approximate timing and available information are reviewed before the next step is agreed.

Step 02

Consultation

A focused discussion covers priorities, known defects, property context, access, professional-team involvement and the decisions needed before the proposed roofing or refurbishment work can proceed.

Step 03

Inspection Where Needed

Where appropriate, the visible condition of affected areas, relevant materials, access and practical constraints are reviewed, with any inspection limitations recorded.

Step 04

Proposal

The proposal records the roofing or refurbishment work, assumptions, exclusions, sequencing, commercial terms and decisions required before delivery.

Step 05

Delivery

The agreed work is coordinated around site setup, property protection, sequencing, communication, other trades, weather exposure where relevant and appropriate quality checks.

Step 06

Handover & Aftercare

Completion addresses handover, outstanding items, relevant follow-up and maintenance information where it forms part of the agreed project.

Project protection

Clear information before work starts

Access, temporary weathering, protection of occupied areas and coordination with other trades are considered as part of the proposed work, not left until the first day on site.

ER Group London carries £10 million Employers’ Liability insurance and £5 million Public Liability insurance. Current documentation is available for review as part of the pre-contract information.

What homeowners say about our roofing work

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 roof 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.
  • Our published coverage includes W1–W14, SW1–SW20, NW1–NW6 and all TW, GU and RG postcodes. Project suitability is still confirmed against the property, access and likely scope.
  • 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.
  • You do not need to diagnose the roof before enquiring. Tell us what is happening, the property type and any previous repair history, and send photographs or reports if available. We can then narrow the next step to repair, survey, refurbishment, re-roofing or a specialist roofing service.
