Bow is close to our Hackney base and we work there regularly, from Roman Road terraces to the conservation streets around Tredegar Square, where we keep repairs in keeping with the original Georgian houses.
Every job starts with a roof survey and photos, and you get a clear written quote before any work begins.
Bow combines Georgian squares, long Victorian terraces off Roman Road and a large number of post-war council and housing-association blocks. We carry out roofing across Bow (E3), including homes on and around Fairfield Road and Roman Road.
Georgian houses on Tredegar Square need careful slate and lead repairs, while the Victorian terraces off Roman Road often need new flat roofs on rear extensions. Tredegar Square and the surrounding streets form one of East London’s best-preserved Georgian conservation areas.
We start with a roof survey, take photos of what we find and give you a clear written quote before any work begins. We are based in Hackney E9, so Bow is on our doorstep.
Can you match the original slates or tiles in Bow?
Yes. We source reclaimed or new natural slate and clay tiles to match, which matters in conservation areas such as those in Bow.
How quickly can you look at a roof leak in Bow?
We are based in Hackney E9 and work across E3 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 Bow?
Yes. Many Bow 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.
Bow has rows of Victorian terraces around Roman Road and Victoria Park, early 19th-century houses around Tredegar Square, and many post-war estates and newer flats. Most period houses have natural slate roofs, often with parapet gutters and shared chimney stacks.
What we usually find: slipped and cracked slates, worn lead in valleys and parapet gutters, chimney stacks that need repointing or new flashings, and leaking flat roofs on rear extensions and dormers.
Before work starts: Bow is in Tower Hamlets, and conservation areas such as Tredegar Square, Driffield Road and Roman Road Market cover parts of it. In these areas natural slate and lead are expected to be repaired like for like. We advise on this at the free survey and include it in the written quote.
We also carry out roofing in nearby Mile End, Victoria Park and Hackney.

“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.”
“I'm extremely pleased with the new roof installation BARL did for my home, and I'm beyond impressed with the entire process. From the initial Assessment to the final touches, their professionalism and expertise were clear. David and the guys were respectful of my property and they worked efficiently without causing any disruption. The whole experience was smooth, and I will definitely use them again for future projects!”
“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.”
