Complete Roofing Solutions in Archway, Installation, Repairs & Maintenance

Archway’s hilly streets are lined with Victorian terraces and semi-detached houses, many split into flats, along with rear extensions and loft conversions. Exposed hillside roofs take a battering, so we pay close attention to fixings and flashings across N19.

GRP Fiberglass Roofing

Flat roofs for Archway extensions.
Rear extensions and dormers in N19 are mostly flat-roofed.
🔹 Seamless GRP finish
🔹 Proper falls
🔹 Neat trims

Slate & Tile Roofing

Slate roofs on exposed slopes.
Wind on Archway’s hills loosens slates and ridges more often than on flatter streets.
🔹 Slipped slates refixed
🔹 Ridges mechanically fixed
🔹 Matching natural slate

Flat, Pitched & Mansard Roofs

Storm-damaged roofs made watertight.
After high winds we often make Archway roofs watertight first, then return for the full repair.
🔹 Temporary weatherproofing
🔹 Pitched roof repairs
🔹 Dormer roof repairs

Leadwork & Flashings

Flashings that stand up to the wind.
Lifted or loose flashings are a common storm problem on Archway roofs.
🔹 Flashings re-dressed and secured
🔹 Chimney flashings renewed
🔹 Valley repairs

Chimney Repairs & Restoration

Chimneys on exposed N19 roofs.
Exposed stacks lose mortar and pots faster on Archway’s hills.
🔹 Repointing and flaunching
🔹 Pots secured or capped
🔹 New lead flashings

Roof Maintenance & Ridge Repointing

Pre-winter checks.
A check before winter catches loose slates before storms lift them.
🔹 Slate and ridge checks
🔹 Gutter clearing
🔹 Photo report

Why Choose BARL in Archway?

Many Archway houses sit on slopes with higher wind exposure, so we pay close attention to how slates, ridges and lead are fixed.

Every job starts with a survey and photos, and we can often make a roof watertight quickly before the full repair.

Roofing in Archway: what we see on local roofs

Archway has steep streets of Victorian terraces climbing towards Highgate, with the wide late-Victorian houses of Whitehall Park and many homes divided into flats. We carry out roofing across Archway (N19), including homes on and around Whitehall Park and Junction Road.

On Archway’s exposed hillside streets wind lifts slates and ridge tiles, and many houses split into flats have ageing flat roofs at the back. Whitehall Park is a conservation area with consistent rooflines and brick detailing.

We inspect the roof first, explain the options with photos, and confirm everything in a written quote. We are based in Hackney E9, so Archway is on our doorstep.

Roofing in Archway: common questions

How quickly can you look at a roof leak in Archway?
We are based in Hackney E9 and work across N19 every week, so we can usually arrange a visit quickly and make the roof safe.

Do you repair roofs on houses converted into flats in Archway?
Yes. Many Archway roofs are shared between flats, so we can survey for the freeholder or managing agent and report on what each part of the roof needs.

Do you replace flat roofs on rear extensions in N19?
Yes. We replace felt and failed flat roofs with GRP fibreglass or new felt systems on extensions, dormers and back additions across N19.

Planning roof work in Archway

Archway’s streets are mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semi-detached houses climbing towards Highgate, many converted into flats. Their roofs are typically natural slate with brick chimney stacks, often with later loft conversions, dormers and flat-roofed rear extensions.

What we usually find: slipped and cracked slates, perished mortar on ridges and chimney stacks, failed lead flashings around chimneys and dormers, and worn felt or asphalt on rear extension roofs. Because the area is hilly and exposed, roofs here can take more wind-driven rain than in lower parts of the borough.

Before work starts: parts of Archway, such as Whitehall Park, are conservation areas in the London Borough of Islington. Like-for-like repairs do not usually need planning permission, but changes to roof materials or shape may. In converted houses we can work with all flat owners and provide one written quote covering the shared roof.

We also carry out roofing in nearby Highgate, Islington and Kentish Town.

Complete Repointing of Rear Exterior
Replacement of two Roofs
I can’t recommend BARL highly enough. This was a significant project that involved repointing the entire rear house, replacing two 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 job. 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!

Brickwork and Roofing to Prevent
Leaks and Structural Defects
BARL were thorough and professional throughout every stage of the process. Communication was excellent from owners and onsite supervisors. The brickwork and roofing repairs were carried our to the highest standard of craftsmanship. The areas that were leaking internally have now dried up thereby solving long term problems. Builders were courteous and considerate throughout.

New Roof
We needed a roof restoration for our Victorian terraced house which included new slate, parapet wall restoration, repointing of chimney stack, and replacing rooflights with new Velux windows. The end result is fantastic and we are very pleased with the quality of the work. David and Lee from BARL are straightforward and easy to work with. The team members doing the work were conscientious and hard working. If you need a new roof you can’t go wrong with BARL.

Wall, brick and downpipe and waste pipe replacement
We needed emergency repairs on a wall that was leaking to the inside of the house. David came quickly to quote and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, suggesting how the issue could be rectified with the least work and disruption. David’s brother Lee provided a clear description of the issues with photos and quotes. The team who completed the work were timely, courteous, skilled and always cleared up thoroughly. Comms were great throughout and David is clearly en expert. Would definitely recommend!

Repointing and Brickwork Repairs
BARL did an excellent job addressing a couple of issues highlighted in my recent building survey. David knew exactly what needed doing at the initial visit and took the time to explain the work that could be carried out. The job was done within timeframe expected and to high standard. Very professional, would recommend.

Extensive Roof Removal and Replacement
BARL are knowledgeable, capable and very experienced roofers, who I highly recommend. BARL offer high-level customer service and competency. From day one, the BARL team were accessible, honest, and easy to work with. The highly skilled labourers were respectful, friendly, efficient and always tidied up at the end of the day. I am extremely happy with totally watertight, properly insulated and incredibly smart roofs. It was a pleasure to work with BARL. They know exactly what they’re doing.

Remedial Brickwork on Exterior Wal
Felt very reassured by BARL, the work was to the highest standard, best builders I have come across in London. Would use them again for any work. - can’t recommend more.

GRP Cap on Flat Roof
Very happy with the work on our flat roof. BARL put a GRP cap on our leaky flat roof, and we’re very happy with the results, and the way the job was carried out. The quote was reasonable, work started/ finished on schedule, and they were pleasant to deal with throughout. I’m not a buildings expert but I do have some experience with trades and I saw how neat the job was at various stages. The boarding was cut and laid very accurately and the GRP layer is very neatly finished. And that bit of roof has stopped leaking! Thank you.

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.”

    “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.”

    “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.”
