Skip to content Approved Roofing London Ltd are Experts in all aspects of Roofing in London
A roof isn't something most people think about until it starts letting them down — patch after patch, year after year, until one day the numbers just stop making sense. If you're at that point, new roof installation London homeowners trust is really about doing it once, doing it properly, and not thinking about your roof again for decades. We fit full roofs across London — pitched, flat, slate, tile — and we're upfront about the whole process from the first visit to the final tile going on.

London's mix of terraces, semis, and flat-roof extensions means there's no single "standard" roof. What suits a Victorian terrace rarely suits a 1960s extension, so we talk through what actually fits your property before quoting anything.
Stripping a roof down to the timber and building it back up isn't a job to rush, so we keep it structured:
| Material | Typical Lifespan | Best Suited To |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete Tiles | 40–50 years | Most London terraces and semis |
| Natural Slate | 80–100 years | Period and listed-style properties |
| Flat Roof Membrane | 20–25 years | Extensions, garages, dormers |
| Metal Roofing | 40–60 years | Modern extensions and new builds |
Whatever's fitted properly the first time tends to outlast a string of patch-up jobs — and it's far cheaper over the years than repeated emergency roof repair London callouts on a roof that's already past its best.
This isn't only about replacing tired roofs. We fit roofs on rear and side-return extensions, loft conversions, and full new builds too — matching pitch, material, and finish to the rest of the house so it doesn't look like an afterthought bolted on top.
It's genuinely a fair question, and the honest answer depends on the roof's age and how localised the damage is. A single storm-damaged patch on an otherwise sound roof is a repair job. Widespread wear, multiple leak points, or timber that's been damp for years is usually a roof replacement London homeowners should book sooner rather than later, because you'd otherwise be paying for repairs on a roof that's already at the end of its life.
We only fit materials from established manufacturers, and every installation comes with a workmanship warranty on top of the manufacturer's own material guarantee — so you're covered on both fronts, not just one.
Most straight like-for-like replacements fall under permitted development and don't need planning permission. It's a different story if you're changing the roofline, raising the height, or the property is listed or in a conservation area — worth checking the Planning Portal or your local council before work starts, and we're happy to talk you through what applies to your property.
