Skip to content Approved Roofing London Ltd are Experts in all aspects of Roofing in London
A roof almost never fails out of nowhere. There's usually a build-up first — a gutter that's been quietly blocked for months, a patch of moss creeping across the shaded side, that sort of thing. Left alone, small stuff like that is exactly what turns into a leak eventually. Approved Roofing London Ltd offers proper roof maintenance London services across Ealing and West London, built around catching those things early, before they become a repair bill.
Get a Free QuoteRoof maintenance London services, at their core, involve inspecting, cleaning, and doing the small stuff — moss removal, clearing gutters, checking flashing, spotting a loose slate before it's actually a problem — usually as a yearly visit. It's not glamorous, but it's the routine that keeps a roof out of trouble for years rather than months.
The value here isn't really about any single visit — it's what happens over several years:
Every visit means going over the whole roof properly — not just eyeballing it from the garden.
Moss holds moisture against tiles and speeds up rot, particularly on north-facing, shaded roofs that don't get much sun to dry out. A proper moss removal roof London visit clears it carefully by hand or with a safe biocide treatment — pressure washing tends to do more harm than good, knocking tiles loose in the process.
A blocked gutter or downpipe forces water back up under the roofline instead of away from the house. We clear out leaves, moss, and general gunk to keep water going where it's supposed to, protecting the brickwork and foundations in the process.
We check the flashing around chimneys, vents, and roof edges for gaps or lifting. Catching these small cracks early is really the whole point — it's a lot easier to fix a hairline gap than to deal with the loft leak it eventually causes.
If a tile or slate has slipped and it's an easy fix, we'll just do it on the spot during the visit. Sorting the small stuff while we're already up there often stops it turning into a proper job a few months later.
Pretty much anything you'll find on a London property:
Whatever it is, the process starts the same way — a full check from a safe vantage point before any work begins.
Roof care shifts a bit depending on the season:
It's worth keeping an eye on storm warnings for your area too, since that's usually when seasonal damage shows up first.
Caught during a routine visit, these are almost always quick, cheap fixes — it's only once they've had time to cause damage inside the house that they get expensive.
| Category | Roof Maintenance | Roof Repair |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Prevents problems | Fixes existing damage |
| Timing | Planned, yearly visit | Reactive, often urgent |
| Cost | Lower, predictable | Higher, sometimes urgent pricing |
| Roof lifespan | Extended over time | Restored to working order |
| Check Area | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| Tiles and slates | Loose, cracked, or missing pieces |
| Gutters and downpipes | Blockages and flow |
| Flashing and seals | Gaps around chimneys and vents |
| Moss and algae | Growth on shaded roof areas |
| Roof timber and felt | Signs of damp or rot |
Roof care isn't just a domestic thing — it applies just as much to commercial buildings. House roofs get checked for tiles, slates, and gutters, while commercial roofs — big flat coverings, plant rooms, the lot — get scheduled visits built around the building. Same careful process, either way.
Whatever the property, you get the same thorough approach — and a written report left with you after every visit.
A quick yearly check costs a fraction of what you'd pay to fix rotten wooden beams, a caved-in ceiling, or a full re-roof brought on by years of nothing being looked at. Honestly, a proper maintenance plan tends to pay for itself over time — catching things while they're still small and cheap to fix is really the whole value proposition.

|---|---|
| Annual roof check | £80 – £150 |
| Moss removal visit | £150 – £400 |

A basic annual check starts around £80. A full package with moss removal and gutter clearing usually runs £250 to £550.
Once a year does most roofs well, ideally before winter sets in. Older roofs, or ones under trees, might want checking a bit more often.
Not entirely — nothing can promise zero leaks ever. But regular checks catch the small stuff that causes most leaks before it becomes one.
Not really, no — high pressure can knock tiles loose. For moss removal roof London properties, a careful hand clean or a biocide treatment is generally the safer route.
Yes — if something needs fixing while we're up there, we can usually quote it and just get it done the same day.
