Roofing, Building & Landscaping Specialists Across North West London, North London, East London and Essex
The majority of our enquiries concern a specific issue: a roof letting in water, guttering that has come away from the fascia, or a kitchen or bathroom that no longer suits the property. Each job is carried out by experienced tradespeople rather than subcontractors, and a considerable share of our work arrives through repeat clients and personal recommendation. For a business of our age, that record is the clearest measure of the standard we work to.
Roofing Services
A roof tends to draw attention only once a fault has developed, by which point the repair is rarely as simple as it might have been. We cover the full range of roofing work, from an isolated repair through to the complete replacement of an ageing roof.
Roof Repairs
Leaks, storm damage, cracked or slipped tiles and worn flashing all tend to begin as minor faults and deteriorate quickly. We trace the underlying source rather than treating the symptom, so the same problem does not return a season or two later.
New Roofs
Where a roof has reached the end of its serviceable life, we strip and replace it on both pitched and flat properties. Materials are matched to the age and character of the building and to the budget you are working within.
Flat Roofs
We install modern flat roofing systems designed for longevity rather than short-term patching, suitable for extensions, garages, dormers and outbuildings. We will advise on the most appropriate build-up for the structure and the way the roof will be used.
Guttering
Blocked or failing guttering forces rainwater back against the walls and down towards the foundations. We clear, repair and replace guttering and downpipes so that water is carried away from the property as it should be.
UPVC Roofline Products
Fascias, soffits and bargeboards protect the edge of the roof and the timber beneath it. We supply and fit UPVC units that resist rot and require very little maintenance across their lifespan.
Repointing
The mortar between ridge tiles, around chimneys and within brickwork breaks down over time and allows water to penetrate. We rake out the failed mortar and repoint to restore both the weather seal and the structural bond.
Roof Cleaning
Moss, lichen and accumulated debris hold moisture and gradually work into the joints. We clean the roof carefully and treat it, avoiding the aggressive high-pressure methods that can shorten a roof’s life.
If you are uncertain how serious a fault is, we are happy to inspect it in person before recommending any work. An assessment at an early stage frequently prevents a far more substantial repair later on.
Building and Home Improvements
Alongside roofing, we undertake building work that alters how a property functions from one day to the next. Some of it is structural and some of it is finishing, and we are equally experienced with both.
A successful extension or kitchen depends on the planning as much as the construction. We work through the practical considerations early, including access, drainage and the period a room will be out of use, so that fewer issues arise once the work is under way.
Ridgewell Roofing and Building is a family run company serving domestic and commercial clients across North West London, North London, East London and Essex.
With decades of experience across roofing, building and property improvement work, we have built our reputation through reliable workmanship, practical advice and a straightforward approach from the first enquiry through to completion. Much of our work comes through repeat customers and personal recommendation, which reflects the standard we aim to maintain on every project, regardless of size.
We undertake everything from roof repairs and guttering to extensions, kitchens, landscaping and general property maintenance, with all work carried out by experienced tradespeople rather than passed between subcontractors. Our focus is always on completing work properly and with long-term durability in mind, whether we are resolving a leak, refurbishing a bathroom or rebuilding outdoor space. Clients choose Ridgewell because we provide clear quotations, realistic timescales and workmanship that is designed to last rather than simply cover over the problem.
Driveways, Patios and Landscaping
The ground surrounding a property warrants the same care as the building itself, particularly in the way it directs water away from the structure.
Driveways
Laid on a properly compacted base to carry the weight of vehicles and to shed surface water, in a choice of finishes to suit the property.
Patios
Constructed on the correct foundation and laid to a slight fall, so that they drain freely and remain level rather than lifting and settling over the years.
Fencing
Supply, repair and replacement of fencing and posts, installed to stand up to wind and prolonged exposure to the weather.
Landscaping
Reshaping and rebuilding outdoor space to make a garden practical to use and straightforward to maintain through the seasons.

Property Maintenance
Smaller tasks still demand to be done correctly, and they are frequently the ones that keep a property in good order between the larger projects.
Jet Washing
Pressure cleaning of driveways, patios, paths and weathered paving to lift the dirt, algae and staining that build up over a number of years.
Pebble Dashing
Application and repair of pebble dashed and rendered finishes, including the patching of damaged areas to match the surrounding wall.
Painting and Decorating
Interior and exterior decorating, with thorough preparation of the surfaces beforehand so that the finish holds and looks right for longer.
Plumbing and Electrics
Plumbing and electrical work undertaken either as part of a wider project or as a standalone job, carried out by the relevant qualified trades.
How We Work
We make transforming your property simple. Our step-by-step process keeps you informed at every stage, from the first site visit through to the final handover.
Free Site Survey & Quotation
We visit your property, take measurements, discuss what you want to achieve and provide a detailed, written quotation — no obligation and no hidden costs.
Design & Material Selection
We advise on the best materials, layouts and finishes for your property and budget. Where helpful, we use our visualiser tool so you can see different options before committing.
Agreed Schedule & Fixed Pricing
Before any work starts, you will have a fixed price and a clear project timeline. If anything changes on site, we discuss it with you first — no surprises.
Professional Installation & Completion
Our team handles all groundworks, preparation, installation and finishing. We leave the site clean and tidy, and walk you through the completed work before we go.
Why Homeowners and Businesses Choose Ridgewell
As a family run business, the person who prepares your quotation is closely involved with the team completing the work, and the standing of the firm rests on the quality of that work within the local area. Decades in the industry have given us a precise understanding of where standards commonly slip, and our methods are built around avoiding those shortcuts.
Every job begins with a clear written quotation. The work is completed to the agreed schedule, the site is kept tidy throughout, and the area is left clean on completion. Where certification or a guarantee applies, this is arranged as part of the service rather than left for the client to pursue.
