STRIPPING & RE-TILING PITCHED ROOFS ACROSS TW13 & TW14
Spanning the 1930s semi-detached avenues and post-war family chalets of North Feltham, Bedfont, and East Bedfont (TW14) to the Victorian cottages around Feltham Green, Hanworth Park, and Lower Feltham bordering the River Crane and Longford River corridors (TW13), pitched roofs in the London Borough of Hounslow endure relentless Heathrow southern-runway acoustic vibrations, high-velocity vortex crosswinds, and winter freeze-thaw cycles. When original interlocking concrete tiles lose their protective surface granules and turn porous, or aged bitumen sarking felt tears between the rafters, wind-driven rain tracks straight onto upstairs plasterboard ceilings. On our Feltham roofing projects, London Roofing Specialist strips perished roof coverings back to the bare structural timbers to deliver complete pitched roof overhauls.
Timber Rafter Checks, Chimney Leadwork & Valley Troughs
Exposing the attic rafters allows our surveyors and roof carpenters to inspect every C24 timber joist, hip blade, purlin, and wall plate for woodworm, wet rot, or structural deflection before new coverings are laid. Where the pitched slope meets the brick chimney stack, our leadworkers chase stepped Code 5 lead flashings, secret soakers, and back-gutters directly into the masonry joints for a permanent, weather-tight seal.
BREATHABLE MEMBRANES, TREATED BATTENS & LOFT INSULATION
A durable roof replacement relies on the unseen layers beneath the tiles. Once the timber frame is verified, our NFRC-accredited roofers dress a high-tensile, vapour-permeable breather membrane across the rafters, secure graded BS 5534 pressure-treated tiling battens, and upgrade the loft insulation to meet current Hounslow Building Control Part L energy standards.
Redland 49 & Interlocking Concrete Tiling
Precision-laid concrete cambered and interlocking tiles engineered for high wind-uplift resistance and clean street-level kerb appeal across TW13 and TW14.
Natural Welsh & Spanish Slate Roofs
Hand-sorted, copper-nailed natural slating for Victorian and Edwardian properties around Feltham Green, St Dunstan’s Conservation Area, and Hanworth Road.
Handmade & Machine-Made Clay Plain Tiles
Double-lapped Rosemary clay tile renewals and bonnet hip detailing suited to 1930s semi-detached houses along Bedfont Lane, Staines Road, and Harlington Road West.
Ventilated Dry Ridge & Dry Hip Systems
Mechanical stainless-steel fixings and roll-out ridge ventilation that replace crumbling sand-and-cement mortar bedding shaken loose by aircraft and road vibrations.
Code 5 Lead Valleys, Dormers & Flashings
Hand-bossed leadwork for intersecting valley gutters, ground-floor bay window tops, chimney aprons, and pitched skylight collars.
Controlling Loft Condensation & Winter Heat Loss
Combining thick mineral wool or rigid PIR loft insulation with a vapour-permeable underfelt and continuous eaves-to-ridge ventilation stops warm household air from condensing on cold rafters during winter, preventing timber decay while lowering annual heating bills.
REDLAND 49 CONCRETE TILING & MECHANICAL RIDGE FIXINGS
As illustrated in our roof renewal photography, our tilers install grey Redland 49 and modern interlocking concrete tiles over graded pressure-treated battens. Unlike flat-profiled tiles that can draw water by capillary action in heavy downpours, the subtle camber of the Redland 49 sheds rainwater rapidly while suiting the traditional hipped and gable rooflines of suburban Feltham avenues.
Storm-Proof Fixings & Aircraft Vortex Protection
To prevent winter gales and low-altitude Heathrow wake turbulence from lifting perimeter tiles in TW13 and TW14, we mechanically clip and nail every course in strict accordance with BS 5534 wind-load calculations, finishing the apex and hips with dry-fixed concrete ridge tiles that never crack or wash out.
EXPOSED RAFTER SURVEYS & 10-YEAR INSURED GUARANTEES
As shown in our attic photography, stripping a roof down to the bare rafters requires disciplined site management and overnight weather protection so your property stays bone dry throughout the build. Every complete pitched roof replacement we undertake in TW13 and TW14 is carried out by our own vetted, directly employed tradesmen and backed by a 10-year insurance-backed workmanship guarantee alongside £10m public liability insurance.

When does a Feltham tiled roof need a full re-roof rather than spot repairs?
If only a few tiles have slipped or cracked around a valley or verge after a storm, we can replace the damaged units and re-dress the lead flashing. However, if the original bitumen sarking felt inside your loft has rotted and lets in daylight, the timber battens are decaying, or 1950s and 1960s concrete tiles have lost their surface coating and started absorbing water, a full strip and re-tile over a breathable membrane is the only permanent solution.
Do you handle scaffolding and Hounslow Council permits for roof replacements in TW13 and TW14?
Yes. We coordinate all scaffolding, pavement licences, skip permits, and Part L Building Control notifications across the London Borough of Hounslow, giving homeowners in Feltham, Bedfont, and Hanworth a single point of contact from initial loft inspection to final gutter clearance.
