Your roof is more than just a protective covering—it’s an essential part of your property’s structure, appearance, and comfort. A well-maintained roof keeps out rain, wind, and damp, regulates temperature, and safeguards the building for decades. But like all parts of a home or business, roofs have a limited lifespan. Years of exposure to the unpredictable London weather can leave even the strongest roof vulnerable to leaks, loose tiles, moss growth, or structural decline.
For many homeowners and businesses in Chelsea, roof repairs can provide a temporary fix, but when problems become frequent or widespread, a full roof replacement is the most reliable way to protect your property for the future. A new roof doesn’t just solve existing issues—it gives you the peace of mind that your home or commercial building is secure, energy-efficient, and built to withstand the elements for years to come.
We specialise in roof replacement across Chelsea, working on a wide range of properties from elegant period townhouses around Sloane Square to modern apartments by Chelsea Harbour. Our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, ensuring every roof replacement is tailored to the character of the property while delivering the highest standards of performance and durability.
By choosing us, you’re not just replacing your roof—you’re making a long-term investment in your property’s safety, value, and appearance.
Replacing a roof is a significant investment, which is why it’s essential to work with a company that combines local knowledge with proven expertise. Our team has decades of experience working on properties throughout Chelsea, from listed heritage homes to sleek new developments. Every project is managed with care and attention to detail, from the removal of the old roof to the precise installation of new materials.
We use only premium products, whether natural slate, clay tiles, or advanced flat roof systems such as GRP and EPDM, ensuring your new roof performs for decades to come. Just as importantly, we focus on the finer details—insulation, ventilation, flashing, and roofline elements—so your property is not only watertight but also energy-efficient and well-protected against the elements.
Our services cover every type of roof replacement. For homes with tiled roofs, we strip away the worn materials and install new clay or concrete tiles that complement the character of the building. For Chelsea’s many slate-roofed period properties, we carefully source matching slate to preserve the traditional look while providing modern resilience. Flat roofs are upgraded with durable, weather-resistant coverings that prevent water pooling and cracking. Where required, we also restore chimneys, leadwork, fascias, soffits, and gutters to ensure the entire roofline is renewed in harmony.
Not all roofing issues require a full replacement, but there are certain signs that suggest repairs may no longer be enough. If your roof is over 20 or 30 years old, if leaks and damp patches keep returning despite multiple fixes, or if large areas of tiles, slates, or felt are visibly damaged, a full replacement is often the wisest choice. Sagging rooflines, widespread moss growth, or rising energy bills caused by poor insulation are also indicators that your roof may need to be replaced rather than repaired.
If you’re unsure, our specialists offer free surveys across Chelsea. We provide honest advice on whether repairs are sufficient or if replacement is the more cost-effective long-term option.
We work throughout the Chelsea area, replacing roofs on elegant townhouses, riverside residences, luxury apartments, and commercial properties. Each project is tailored to the specific needs of the building and its surroundings. In conservation areas, we ensure new roofs remain in keeping with the original architecture, while for modern properties we recommend contemporary materials that maximise efficiency and performance.
Our approach to roof replacement is designed to be straightforward and stress-free. We begin with a detailed survey of your existing roof before presenting you with a clear quotation and options for materials. Once agreed, we carefully remove the old coverings, dispose of waste responsibly, and install the new roof with precision and care. Before completion, every detail is inspected to guarantee durability and finish.
A new roof is one of the most valuable investments you can make in your property. Not only does it protect your home or business from weather damage, but it also enhances kerb appeal and increases property value. With our skilled team and high-quality materials, you can be confident that your roof replacement in Chelsea will serve you reliably for decades.
