Dalston is a mix of mid-Victorian terraces, flats above shops on Kingsland High Street and converted houses split into two or three flats. We carry out asphalt across Dalston (E8), including homes on and around Dalston Lane and Albion Drive.
Flat roofs over shops and the walkways of Dalston’s low-rise blocks are often covered in asphalt that needs patching or renewing. Albion Square and Navarino Road sit in conservation areas, so repairs there need to match the original detailing.
We inspect the asphalt, check for cracks, blisters and failed upstands, and give you a written quote for the repair or renewal. We are based in Hackney E9, so Dalston is on our doorstep.
Do you repair asphalt balconies in Dalston?
Yes. We repair cracked and blistered asphalt on balconies and walkways across E8, including the upstands where leaks often start.
Do you work with managing agents in Dalston?
Yes. Many asphalt jobs in Dalston are on shared roofs and balconies, so we work with freeholders and managing agents.
Is asphalt suitable for roof terraces in Dalston?
Yes. Mastic asphalt is hard-wearing and well suited to terraces that are walked on, when laid on the right base.
Along Kingsland High Street and Dalston’s other main roads, many shops have single-storey extensions at the back with asphalt flat roofs, often below the windows of the flats above. Behind them, Victorian terraces have asphalt on rear extensions and roof terraces, and the area’s housing estates use it on roofs, balconies and walkways.
What we usually find: worn and cracked asphalt on older flat roofs, leaks at the edges and around rooflights and outlets, and balcony and walkway surfaces that have broken up.
Before work starts: where a roof is shared between a shop and the flats above, we can work with both and provide one written quote. Like-for-like repairs do not normally need planning permission. We are based nearby in Hackney E9.
We also carry out asphalt work in nearby Hackney, London Fields and Islington.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 33 Google reviews of Buildings and Restorations Ltd (BARL). Real feedback from homeowners, landlords and building managers across London.
“BARL has installed a GRP fibreglass roof + GRP-capped fibreglass parapet walls, and the transformation is remarkable. The process was smooth and efficient. This investment was worth it and the BARL team is very competent. I was managing the project from abroad but all was fine. Their professionalism extended to interacting with my tenants, ensuring minimal disruption and accommodating their schedules. I will recommend them.”
“I can't recommend BARL highly enough. This was a significant project that involved repointing the entire rear house, replacing 2 roofs and repointing the pavers in the back garden. The repointing actually required a rebuild of the entire upper section of the house, which made this a large . BARL were 100% professional, very neat and did an outstanding job of communicating the status of the project and why the works they were undertaking were necessary. At the end of the project there was nothing that was left undone - something I have never experienced with other builders. Worth every penny.”
“David, Lee and team did a fantastic job on our roof terrace repair and replacement, completely clearing, inspecting and re-sealing with a liquid rubber membrane the existing felt roofing underneath the decking. They then replaced all the joists and wooden decking above to a very high standard. As part of their work they also successfully addressed a long-term leak on our next door neighbour's roof terrace - carefully raising decking in the relevant area, cleaning, fixing holes and and applying a liquid rubber membrane to the relevant area, before reinstalling the existing decking to exactly how it was before. At all times, the BARL team were professional, on-time, thoughtful about make the roof terrace look its best and be in good condition for the longer term.”
“We’re so pleased to have had Lee, David, and the whole BARL team complete significant repointing, drainage, and roofing works on our building of flats. From diagnosing the issues to completing the work they were extremely diligent, communicative, and professional. The quality and finish of the work speaks for itself and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or use them on future projects.”
“Had serious water ingress and after multiple amateur roofers trying to solve the problem I decided to go with a proper outfit. David and his team were very professional and sorted out the issue within a week in the hottest weather of the year. Definitely recommend”
“We recently had a new slate roof installed and it was a really positive experience. The team were professional, turned up when they said they would, and kept things tidy throughout the job, which we appreciated. David and Lee explained everything clearly at the start, so we knew what to expect in terms of timing and cost. All our questions were answered quickly. Highly recommended if you need a new roof in North London!”
“Excellent service from start to finish. After a previous roofer failed to fix the issue, Barl quickly identified the root cause and resolved the leak by replacing my gully and carrying out additional repairs. Their communication was clear and thorough throughout, with different options presented along with the pros, cons and costs of each. They were punctual, professional, left everything clean and tidy, and were friendly and courteous at all times. I would highly recommend David and the entire Barl team.”
“We recently had our chimneys, roof and guttering redone by BARL, they were absolutely fantastic and surpassed our expectations. Lee, David, Tommy, Jim, Enrik, Adrian and Peter were reliable, knowledgeable, considerate and above all kept us informed and explained everything the did throughout the whole process. We've got a little baby and they even stopped work to allow us to put her to bed regularly. We'll be recommending them to everyone.”
“There are possibly cheaper ways to stop your house falling down, but I doubt there are better. The crew on site went out of their way to be diligent, tidy and respectful, which made living and working through a major works project so, so much easier than I had feared or expected. If you have an old London house falling down and the roof falling off, Barl are a good choice of people to call.”
