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.

Our services

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.

How it works

How an ARI Roofing Job Works: Five Steps

01

Call and describe

Phone 020 8068 2295 or send photos of the symptom (damp patch, missing tiles, blocked gutter). We can often quote on basic jobs from photos alone.

02

Free inspection visit

For larger or unclear jobs we visit, climb up safely, photograph the actual issue, and assess the wider condition.

03

Written quote with photos

Quote covers labour, materials, scaffolding (where needed), and disposal, agreed with you in writing before we start.

04

Carry out the work

Most repairs complete in 1–3 days plus any scaffolding lead time. Larger jobs scheduled with a written start date.

05

Sign-off and 12-month workmanship guarantee

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.

The team

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.”
    – Arianne ‘Ari’ Raofi, Founder, ARI Maintenance Ltd

    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.

    How we quote
    • 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.

    Frequently asked questions

    How does ARI Maintenance quote for roof repairs?+
    Minor repairs, medium repairs, flat roof work and full replacements are all assessed and quoted differently, and scaffolding (where needed) is included in the written quote. We confirm the scope before any work, and provide a written quote after a free inspection.
    How do I know if my roof needs repairing?+
    Missing or cracked tiles, damp patches on ceilings, daylight through the roof space, sagging lines, and moss in gutters are all signs. If in doubt, book a free inspection and we will tell you exactly what needs doing.
    Do you repair flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?+
    Yes. Flat roof options include felt, EPDM rubber, and GRP fibreglass. We repair existing flat roofs and install new ones on extensions, garages, and dormers.
    Can you fix a roof leak as an emergency?+
    Yes. We offer emergency roof repairs to stop active leaks and prevent water damage. Call 020 8068 2295 and we will get to you as quickly as possible, including same-day where the weather and traffic allow.
    Will I need scaffolding for roof repairs?+
    Depends on the job. Most two-storey work requires scaffolding for safety. It is included in our written quote up front, with no hidden extras at the end.
    How long do different roofing materials last?+
    Slate 75–100+ years, clay tiles 50–60, concrete 30–50, felt flat roofs 10–20, EPDM 25–50, GRP 25–30. Lifespan depends on exposure, maintenance, and installation quality.
    Will my insurance cover storm-damaged roofing?+
    Most building insurance policies cover storm damage to roofs, subject to the excess. We provide photo-documented inspections and itemised quotes specifically formatted for insurance claims, and can liaise with the insurer's loss adjuster on request.
    Do you handle gutter cleaning as a standalone service?+
    Yes. Gutter clearance is one of the most worthwhile preventative maintenance jobs we do, and the scope depends on the property. We confirm this before any work starts. Worth doing every 1–2 years to prevent the cascade of damp and mortar damage that follows blocked gutters.
