Call the office(555) 010-2030A family-run firm. Over fifty years on London's rooftops. We still answer the phone, still survey every job in person, and still stand behind the work when the scaffolding comes down.
McDonald Roofing Contractors Ltd. began in Chiswick in 1973 as a small family firm. Today we work across West, South-West and North London on everything from a slipped slate over a Victorian terrace to full re-roofs of listed buildings in conservation areas. Our specialism is domestic work: the roofs people live under. Every enquiry gets a proper survey and a written, no-obligation quote — free, with no sales patter attached.

Natural slate, stripped back and re-laid properly. We take failing coverings off, repair the battens and structure underneath, and lay new slate in diminishing or regular courses to suit the house. A slate roof done well is built to last — we build them that way.
Plain tiles, pantiles and interlocking profiles for London's period and post-war stock. We match existing tiles on repairs so a patch doesn't shout, and on full re-tiles we re-bed ridges, renew valleys and sort the ventilation while we're up there.
Extensions, dormers, garages and outbuildings. Standing-seam zinc and copper for a crisp, long-life finish; high-performance felt and mastic asphalt where the budget or the building calls for it. Every flat roof falls correctly to its outlets — the detail that decides whether it lasts.
Leaks traced to source, slipped slates and tiles re-fixed, failed lead flashing renewed, storm damage made safe. We diagnose before we quote: if a repair will genuinely hold, we'll say so; if the roof is finished, we'll tell you that too.
Much of our work sits in conservation areas and on listed buildings. We use like-for-like materials, photograph and document the existing roof, and produce the clear written records conservation officers ask for. Period detailing — dentil courses, clay ridges, lead work — is our home ground.
A few of the roofs we've been on lately. Every job starts the same way: a survey, a written quote, and a start date we keep.
Strip, re-batten and re-slate in natural slate, with new code-4 lead valleys and re-bedded ridges. Finished in under a fortnight, scaffold down, garden swept.
A rear extension under a crisp zinc standing-seam roof with concealed gutters — falls set so it drains silently, seams running true. Built to outlive the kitchen underneath it.
Plain-tile repair on a listed building: salvaged tiles re-laid, new handmade tiles blended in, lead flashings renewed, full photographic record for the conservation file.
