If your Havering roof is showing widespread deterioration, persistent leaks, or simply looks tired and dated, a new tiled roof installation can solve all these problems at once. Apex UK Roofing installs new tiled roofing systems throughout London, offering a wide choice of tile styles, colours, and profiles to complement any property.
A new tiled roof installation involves stripping the existing roof covering down to the rafters, inspecting and repairing the structural timbers, installing modern breathable roofing membrane, fitting pressure-treated roofing battens at the correct gauge, and laying new tiles with all associated fittings including ridges, verges, valleys, and ventilation. We offer the full range of tile types: concrete interlocking tiles for cost-effective, durable coverage; plain clay tiles for a traditional, characterful appearance; and machine-made or handmade tiles for period properties requiring a specific aesthetic. Our tile sourcing includes leading manufacturers such as Marley, Redland, Russell, and Sandtoft, and we can also work with specialist suppliers for heritage and conservation projects.
Every new tiled roof we install in Havering is designed to meet or exceed current Building Regulations for weather resistance, thermal performance, and ventilation. For properties in Havering, where a large outer London borough with extensive 1930s-50s housing estates, many Essex-style properties, and modern developments in Romford town centre, we take into account the local architectural character, planning requirements, and the exposure conditions of your specific site when recommending the ideal tile specification. A new tiled roof from Apex UK Roofing typically comes with a 10 to 15 year workmanship guarantee alongside 30 to 60 year manufacturer tile warranties.

The cost of a new tiled roof in Havering depends on the size of your roof, the tile type chosen, the condition of the existing structure, and access requirements including scaffolding. As a guide, a new tiled roof for a typical three-bedroom semi-detached house in London costs between 6,000 and 14,000 pounds for concrete tiles, or 10,000 to 20,000 pounds for clay tiles. We provide free detailed quotations following a site survey, with no obligation and no pressure.
A new tiled roof for a standard three-bedroom house in Havering typically takes five to ten working days from scaffold erection to completion, depending on the roof complexity, weather conditions, and any structural work required. Larger or more complex properties may take two to three weeks. We provide a clear schedule before work begins and keep you informed of progress throughout. We always aim to complete on time and within budget.
In most cases, replacing an existing roof with new tiles of similar appearance does not require planning permission as it falls under permitted development rights. However, if you live in a conservation area, your property is listed, or you are changing the roof height, shape, or material significantly, planning permission may be required. We can advise on the planning implications for your specific property in Havering and liaise with the local authority if necessary.
The best tile type depends on your property style, budget, and personal preference. Concrete interlocking tiles offer excellent value and durability, lasting 50 to 60 years with minimal maintenance. Natural clay tiles provide a beautiful, characterful appearance and can last 80 to 100 years. For period properties in London, handmade clay tiles or natural slate often provide the most appropriate match to the local architectural character. We will discuss all options during your free consultation and help you choose the ideal tile for your property.
