Camden roofs range from Georgian and early-Victorian terraces around Camden Square to mews houses and mansard top floors near the Regent’s Canal. We cover every part of them – GRP flat roofs, slate, mansards, leadwork and chimneys – using materials that suit NW1’s conservation streets.
Flat roofs for Camden mews houses and rear additions.
Many Camden mews homes and back extensions have small flat roofs that take a lot of foot traffic and rainwater.
🔹 Seamless GRP finish with no joints to fail
🔹 Suitable for roof terraces and walkable areas
🔹 Neat edge trims that suit period mews streets
Natural slate to match Camden’s period terraces.
Front slopes in Camden’s conservation areas are normally repaired like-for-like in natural slate.
🔹 Matching Welsh and reclaimed slate where possible
🔹 Slipped and cracked slates replaced individually
🔹 Full re-slating when the battens have failed
Mansards, butterfly roofs and pitched roofs across NW1.
Many Camden houses have a mansard storey or a hidden butterfly roof behind the parapet.
🔹 Mansard slopes and flat tops repaired or re-covered
🔹 Butterfly valley gutters relined
🔹 Pitched roofs inspected and repaired section by section
Leadwork for parapets, mansards and mews.
Lead is used throughout Camden on parapet gutters, mansard junctions and chimney flashings.
🔹 Parapet and box gutters relined in new lead
🔹 Step and cover flashings at party walls
🔹 Lead dressed in the right sizes to avoid splitting
Chimney care for tall NW1 stacks.
Camden terraces often share long chimney stacks across party walls, and weathered pots and flaunching are a common leak point.
🔹 Repointing and flaunching renewed
🔹 Loose pots re-bedded or capped
🔹 New lead flashings where the stack meets the roof
Regular checks for busy Camden roofs.
City pollution, pigeons and blocked outlets all shorten roof life in central NW1.
🔹 Gutter and outlet clearing
🔹 Ridge and hip repointing
🔹 Photo report after every inspection
From mews flat roofs to mansard top floors, our team works on Camden roofs every week, planning scaffold and access around busy NW1 streets.
Camden's parapets and mansards rely on lead gutters and flashings – we reline and re-dress them to keep water out.
We repoint, re-flaunch and re-flash the tall shared chimney stacks found on Camden's terraces.
Seasonal checks on Camden roofs clear outlets and gutters and catch slipped slates before they leak.
Camden is a short drive from our Hackney base, and we know its mix of Georgian terraces, mews houses and mansard conversions well. We work with matching slate and traditional leadwork so repairs sit comfortably on conservation streets.
Every job starts with a roof survey and photos of what we find, followed by a clear written quote. If a change may need consent in a conservation area, we tell you before any work begins.
Camden Town has early-Victorian terraces with stucco ground floors, slate roofs hidden behind parapets and shops with flats above along the high street. We carry out roofing across Camden (NW1), including homes on and around Arlington Road and Albert Street.
Camden terraces often have slate roofs hidden behind stucco parapets, and leaks usually start at the parapet gutter or around chimney stacks. Camden Square and the Camden Town conservation areas protect many of these terraces.
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 Camden is well within our regular working area.
How quickly can you look at a roof leak in Camden?
We are based in Hackney E9 and work across NW1 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 Camden?
Yes. Many Camden 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 NW1?
Yes. We replace felt and failed flat roofs with GRP fibreglass or new felt systems on extensions, dormers and back additions across NW1.

“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.”
