Roof repairs, replacements, flat roofs, gutter clearance and fascia & soffit work across London and the M25, insured and properly finished.

Roofing Services: What It Is and When to Call
Roofing is the trade discipline of installing, repairing, and maintaining the weatherproof envelope at the top of a building: pitched roofs (slate, tile, lead, ridge), flat roofs (felt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, asphalt), and the associated guttering, downpipes, fascias, soffits, and chimney work. The defining failure mode is water: every roofing job is ultimately about keeping water out of the building, and most roofing problems start small (a single missing tile, a cracked piece of flashing, a blocked gutter) and escalate quickly if left.
Call when you spot missing or cracked tiles, damp patches forming on ceilings or upper-floor walls, daylight visible through the loft from inside, sagging roof lines, gutter overflow during rain, or moss build-up. Most roofing repairs cost a fraction of the eventual structural fix if the leak is left to soak the timber and plasterwork below.
Roofing Services We Cover
Pitched Roof Repairs
Tile and slate replacement, ridge and hip re-bedding, lead flashing replacement around chimneys and roof junctions, valley gutter repair, and chimney repointing. Most pitched-roof repairs complete in 1–2 days plus scaffolding time where needed.
Flat Roof Installation and Repair
Felt for traditional and budget jobs, EPDM rubber for durable single-sheet membrane installs, GRP fibreglass for high-traffic areas like balconies and dormers. We recommend the right system based on size and usage.
Guttering and Downpipes
Clearing blocked gutters, repairing leaking joints, replacing cracked sections, and full replacements in uPVC, cast iron, or aluminium. Downpipe replacements and re-routing as part of larger jobs.
Lead Flashing and Chimneys
Lead flashing around chimneys, walls, and roof junctions, replacement or resealing. Chimney repointing where mortar joints have failed and water is penetrating the stack.
Emergency Leak Repairs
Active-leak stabilisation to stop water entry while a permanent fix is scheduled. Same-day response for urgent cases. Tarpaulin and temporary covers used where weather prevents a full repair.
Roof Inspections and Reports
Pre-purchase roof inspections, insurance claim evidence reports, and photo-documented condition assessments. Useful for property sales, mortgage requirements, and landlord records.
What You Get When ARI Does Your Roofing
Repair-Before-Replace Recommendation
If a repair solves it, that is what we quote: no upselling a full replacement when a few tiles and lead flashing will do. We will tell you honestly when a roof is genuinely beyond repair too.
Inspect Before Quoting
Free inspection visit. We climb up, photograph the issues, and quote based on what we find, not a guess made from the ground. Photos shared with you.
Scaffolding Confirmed Up Front
Scaffolding for two-storey work and above is included in the written quote, not added at the end. You see the full scope before signing off.
Photo-Documented for Insurance
Storm damage and insurance claim work is photo-documented before, during, and after, ready for your insurer’s claim file.

Photos of completed work shared with you. Written guarantee on every roofing job we complete.
Why London Property Owners Use ARI for Roofing
According to National Federation of Roofing Contractors guidance, the most common cause of premature roof failure in UK domestic property is poor maintenance: small issues left long enough to cause secondary damage to timber, plaster, and insulation. The economics are stark: a modest tile-and-flashing repair caught early prevents a far larger rafter-replacement and damp-proofing job two winters later.
Our roofers are vetted, public liability insured, and experienced with London’s mix of Victorian terraces, post-war housing, and modern flat roofs. Rated highly by our customers on Google and Checkatrade.

About the Roofing Team
ARI Maintenance is led by Arianne ‘Ari’ Raofi, founder. Day-to-day roofing is carried out by named, vetted operatives backed by Ari’s broader maintenance team for the carpentry, plastering, and decorating that often follows roof repair work.
“The roofing call we get most is the third one. The customer has had two earlier roofers come, give vague verbal estimates, and never come back. By the time we arrive, the leak has been there six months. Half the job is convincing them we’re actually going to turn up; the other half is fixing what’s now a much bigger problem than it was.”
Signs Your Roof Needs Attention
Six warning signs that mean it is worth booking a free inspection.
- Missing or cracked tiles: visible gaps or damaged tiles on the roof surface.
- Damp patches on ceilings or walls: water getting through the roof covering, often appearing in upstairs rooms first.
- Daylight visible through the roof space: gaps in tiles or felt seen from inside the loft.
- Sagging roof lines: structural movement that needs investigation, sometimes indicating rotted timber underneath.
- Moss and debris in gutters: blocked gutters causing overflow and damp on exterior walls.
- Peeling paint or damp on exterior walls: failing gutters or flashings letting water track down the building.

How Long Do Roofing Materials Last?
Lifespan depends on exposure, maintenance, and installation quality.
Roofing Quotes: How It Works
Every roofing job gets a written quote before any work starts, whether it is a small repair or a full replacement.
- Minor repairs (a few tiles, single flashing, gutter clear): assessed from a quick look or from photos, with the scope confirmed before any work.
- Medium repairs (multiple tiles, ridge re-bed, chimney repointing): quoted in writing after a free inspection.
- Flat roof replacement (small extension, garage): the scope depends on the size and system (felt vs EPDM vs GRP), confirmed up front.
- Full pitched roof replacement (3-bed terraced): quoted after inspection, with the scope driven by roof complexity and material.
- Full guttering replacement (3-bed property): quoted by material (uPVC / cast iron / aluminium), confirmed before we start.
- Scaffolding (where required): included in the written quote up front, never added at the end.
