Roofs in Stratford
What we tend to find on Stratford roofs
Stratford mixes Victorian terraces with post-war blocks and a great deal of new-build since 2012. The older terraces often have butterfly roofs: two slopes draining into a central valley gutter hidden behind a front parapet. That form needs looking after.
Butterfly valley gutters block with leaves and moss, then overflow backwards under the slates. People assume the slates have failed. Usually the gutter simply stopped draining.
Getting to you from Hayes
East London from a Hayes base means planning around traffic and parking. We book it properly rather than guessing.
Our yard is at 43 Hudson Road, Hayes, UB3 5EL. Ring 07584 213 770 with the postcode and we will tell you straight away whether we are the right people for the job.

Roofing services available here
Searching for a roofer near you covers a lot of ground. One tile off after a windy night and a roof that has been quietly failing for a decade need very different conversations.
New roofs
Full pitched-roof renewal when patching has stopped paying. Strip out, new membrane and battens, tile or slate.
New roof details →Flat roofing
Extensions, garages, porches and dormers. We check the deck and the falls before choosing a covering.
Flat roofing details →Fibreglass roofing
Seamless GRP where the deck and the detailing suit it. Trims, upstands and outlets are part of the job, not an extra.
GRP roofing details →Gutters
Repairs and replacement. Getting water off the roof and away from the wall is half of keeping a house dry.
Gutter service details →Metal roofing
Standing seam and profiled sheet, mostly on extensions and dormers. Set-out has to be right first time.

Stratford roof assessment
What we look at on local roofs
Dense streets and mixed building forms can make roof access and shared boundaries central to the plan. A realistic quotation should account for those conditions rather than treating them as an afterthought.
Before you ring, jot down the postcode, which part of the roof is affected and when you first noticed it. If the weather changes what happens indoors, mention that too. Photos from the ground or the loft help. Never climb up on a wet roof.
Access route
Confirm safe roof access and any scaffold, pavement or parking constraints.
Party details
Define the work edge where adjoining properties share or closely meet at the roof.
Flat roof falls
Assess drainage direction, outlets and perimeter upstands when water is lingering.
Choosing a local roofer
Checking out a local roofer
Everyone searching for the best or the cheapest roofer wants the same thing underneath: somebody who will not vanish and will not cut corners. That part you can actually check.
- Get the trading name, a direct number and a real address you could post a letter to
- Ask for the scope in writing, including what gets stripped out and what goes back on
- Compare quotes line by line rather than on the total at the bottom
- Ask to see a job photographed start to finish, not one glossy final shot
- Check insurance and any trade memberships yourself instead of taking the logo on the van for it
Work you can inspect
Fourteen photos from one complete roof
Our project page shows preparation, membrane and battens, roof-window junctions, slate installation and the finished roof. It is our own work, photographed as it happened. We have not relabelled it as a Stratford job, because it was not one.

Stratford questions
Questions we get from this area
My Victorian terrace has a hidden gutter across the middle. Can you work on those?
Yes. Central valley gutters on butterfly roofs are their own job, and the answer depends on the lining, the falls and the outlet. A photo from an upstairs window of a neighbouring house tells us more than anything taken from the pavement.
Can you assess a leaking roof in Stratford?
Yes. Tell us when the leak shows itself, where the staining is, and whether it gets worse in wind as well as rain. Photos from the ground or from inside the loft help a lot. Do not go up on the roof yourself.
Do you work on flat roofs in Stratford?
Yes, on extensions, garages, dormers and porches. Before we can price anything we need to know what the covering is, whether the deck underneath is sound, which way it falls and where the water is meant to go.
How do I compare roofing quotes?
Line by line, not on the total. Check what each quote includes for stripping out, materials, scaffold or access, skips and guttering. The cheap one is often cheap because something is missing from it.
