New Roofs and Re-Roofing in Belgravia
Belgravia is defined by its white stucco terraces and garden squares, most of them laid out in the 1820s and 1830s, with butterfly roofs, hidden valley gutters and parapets that cannot be seen from the street. Much of the area sits within the Belgravia Conservation Area, so repairs need to respect the original slate, lead and detailing.
We have the experience to re-roof all types of property, from traditional tiled and slate roofs to flat roofs. Spotting the signs of deterioration early matters, because left untreated they usually mean the whole roof has to be replaced.
A patch repair is not always the most economical choice, and re-roofing can work out cheaper over time, giving you peace of mind for years to come. We talk you through efficient, up-to-date materials and methods so the new roof is a worthwhile investment in your property.
We are happy to visit, look at the roof and price up the different options, with costs depending on the size of the property and the area of roof. For a free quote on a new roof in Belgravia, call 07467 757 367.
New Roofs for Homes and Businesses in Belgravia
Replacing a roof in Belgravia is rarely a case of simply stripping and starting again. Most terraces date from the 1820s and 1830s, and their slate, lead and hidden gutters are part of the character the conservation area is there to protect. When slates are failing across a whole slope, though, continued patching is often no longer economical.
We carry out complete re-roofing of pitched and flat roofs, and we will give you honest advice on whether that point has been reached. Each job starts with a site visit and a quote, as the cost depends on the size and type of roof. We can also suggest more efficient options, such as adding insulation while the roof is open. Check with Westminster City Council before changing materials. We re-roof homes in Pimlico and Knightsbridge as well.
Our Staines head office is about 16 miles from Belgravia, and we regularly work on homes and businesses across the area. Like-for-like roof work does not usually need planning permission, but if your property is listed or in a conservation area it is worth checking with Westminster City Council before work starts, and we are happy to talk this through with you.

Common Questions About New Roofs in Belgravia
Will a new roof in Belgravia need to match the original slate?
Much of Belgravia is a conservation area, so matching the original materials is likely to matter, though each property differs. We recommend checking with Westminster City Council before work starts. We can then source suitable natural slate and lead so the finished roof suits the terrace.
How do I know if I need a new roof?
Repeated leaks, many slipped or broken tiles, sagging, daylight through the roof and failed felt or battens are all signs. If repairs keep adding up, a new roof is often better value.
Can you re-roof flat roofs as well as pitched roofs?
Yes. We re-roof all types, from traditional tiled and slate roofs to flat roofs in GRP, felt or EPDM.
Will you help me choose materials?
Yes. We advise on efficient options and up-to-date materials so the new roof suits your property and budget.
Is it better to repair or replace my roof?
If the problem is isolated, a repair is usually fine. When the roof is failing in several places, re-roofing can be cheaper over the longer term. We will give you an honest view.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Like-for-like re-roofing does not usually need planning permission, but listed buildings, conservation areas and changes to the roof shape or materials may need consent from your council.
