Our Proven Bay Window Roof Replacement Process
When you choose us for your lead bay window roof replacement or flat roof upgrade, we do not just patch over underlying faults. Our comprehensive process ensures long-term structural integrity and weatherproofing.Damage Assessment: We carefully strip back the old covering to inspect the underlying timber decking and joists for rot, dampness, and thermal bridging.Stripping and Disposal: All old felt, lead, and debris are safely removed and disposed of through our in-house waste clearance service.Structural Reinforcement: If we find rotting timbers or saturated insulation, we replace them with premium treated timber battens and install modern breathable membranes.Waterproofing Application: We meticulously install your chosen material—whether that is dressing Code 5 lead, applying GRP fibreglass, or fitting an EPDM rubber membrane.Finishing and Detailing: We secure lead flashing, aprons, and upstands into the masonry, finish traditional leadwork with patination oil to prevent white staining, and ensure perfectly aligned drip edges for optimal water runoff.

Which Material is Best for Your Bay Roof?

We offer tailored material choices to suit your home's era and your specific budget.Traditional Leadwork: The gold standard for period properties in conservation areas. We use heavy-duty Code 4 or Code 5 lead, expertly welded and dressed to provide unmatched longevity and authentic aesthetics.GRP Fibreglass: A superb choice for modern homes and extensions in Aylesford and East Malling. A GRP flat roof for a bay window creates a seamless, highly durable barrier with no joints for water to penetrate, whilst eliminating the loud 'drumming' noise often associated with heavy rain on old felt roofs.EPDM Rubber: Renowned for its flexibility and weather resistance, EPDM is a cost-effective, long-lasting solution that easily accommodates the structural movements of a typical property over the seasons.

Answers to common questions about our Bay Window Roofs in West Malling
Why does my bay window roof always seem to leak in heavy rain?
Bay windows are often the first part of a house to leak because they are exposed on three sides. Most leaks occur where the roof meets the main house wall or because the original lead has reached the end of its lifespan and started to crack. We can perform a thorough inspection to find the exact point of entry and provide a permanent leaking bay window fix.
Which is better for a bay window, lead or GRP fibreglass?
Both have great benefits. A lead bay window roof is the traditional choice; it is incredibly durable, looks beautiful on period properties, and can last over 60 years if installed correctly. GRP fibreglass is a fantastic modern alternative. It is slightly more cost-effective, completely seamless, and very tough, making it ideal for flat or shallow-pitched bay windows. We can help you decide which is best for your specific home.
How long does it take to replace a bay window roof?
Most bay window replacements can be completed within one to two days. Because we handle our own scaffolding and waste, there are no delays waiting for third-party contractors. We aim to get the job done quickly and efficiently, with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Do I need scaffolding for a small bay window repair?
Safety is our priority. Even for a small bay, we often need a safe working platform to reach the roof properly without damaging your window frames or the brickwork. The good news is that we provide our own scaffolding as part of the service, so there are no hidden fees or extra phone calls for you to make.
