“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.”
“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.”
“We recently had BARL install a new slate roof on our home, and once again, they exceeded our expectations. This was our second time working with them—the first being when they repointed our brickwork—and their consistent professionalism and expertise continue to impress us. From the initial site visit to the final inspection, David and his team were thorough, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. They patiently answered all our questions and guided us in selecting the best materials for our home. The team maintained a clean work environment, tidying up after each day's work, and the quality of their craftsmanship is outstanding. We highly recommend BARL to anyone seeking reliable and high-quality roofing services.”
“Very skilled workmanship to restore wall of our Victorian house and to repair and restore our roof. Highly recommended.”
“We recently had the pleasure of working with BARL for a complete roof renovation on our property, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The project involved extensive work, including the repointing of our chimney stacks, installation of new lead loft boxes and windows, a complete restructuring, replacement of coping stones, and reinforcement of party walls. Every aspect of the renovation was executed with precision and care, showcasing BARL’s exceptional craftsmanship. From start to finish, BARL demonstrated outstanding customer service, always ensuring our needs and concerns were addressed promptly and professionally. The team was not only skilled and knowledgeable but also a delight to work with. Their attention to detail was evident in every facet of the job, transforming our space with a level of quality and dedication that exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship speaks for itself – our roof is now a testament to both functional strength and aesthetic beauty. For anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled team for roof renovations or any structural work, I can’t recommend BARL highly enough. Their work has not only enhanced the safety and durability of our property but has also elevated its overall appearance. We are grateful to have chosen BARL for this project and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.”
“After extensive re-pointing work to the front of my property in London N1, I am more that satisfied with the end result. My property has a new lease of life whilst retaining original character. Excellent communication and professionalism throughout! Would highly recommend BARL to anyone!”
“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.”
“Truly excellent! BARL completed extensive brickwork and roofing restoration of our Victorian terrace house. It was a pleasure having the work completed by their team of specialist craftsmen who David holds to the highest standards with his daily inspections and guidance. A fully professional experience from the initial visit through to completion, with everything done as committed. We had some gutter issues following the torrential rains of recent weeks and contacted BARL. They responded very quickly, coming to inspect the following day and then resolving the issue a couple of days later. No delays, no fuss and everything sorted. Great after care experience, given that the original work was completed over a year ago.”
