About Us
Built on Reputation. Finished with Pride.
JW Scudder Roofing Specialists has built a reputation as one of the leading roofing contractors in the industry. Over the last 40 years, we have installed and repaired hundreds of pitched and flat roofs across London and surrounding areas. As a family-run business spanning generations, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques. From intricate lead burning to full roof replacements, our team brings decades of hands-on expertise to every property we work on.
Quality Workmanship
My father started this trade over fifty years ago, and I joined him on the tools back in 1998. We never set out to be the biggest corporate roofing firm in the country; we just wanted to be the ones people call when they need the job done right the first time. Whether we are working on a 16th-century cart shed for The National Heritage or repairing a slate roof in London, the standard remains identical. We do it properly, and we do it once. You deal directly with our family, and we do not consid

Five Decades of Roofing Excellence
John W. Scudder began his career over 50 years ago, mastering every aspect of the trade before establishing the company in 1983. His dedication to quality set the foundation for what JW Scudder Roofing is today, earning him recognition as an NFRC Heritage Roof Master. Following in his father's footsteps, John junior joined the company in 1998, earning his own NFRC Heritage Craft Roofer certification and NVQs in Roofing Construction. Together, they have instilled these same rigorous standards into the next generation of craftsmen, including Jai and Sonny. Today, our family-led team continues to handle everything from complex heritage restorations in Mayfair and Kensington to modern solar in-roof installations. We rely on proven methods, premium materials, and an uncompromising work ethic.
