Around London Fields the streets are lined with Victorian terraces, many converted to flats, alongside the flat-fronted early-Victorian houses of the Mapledene area. We carry out roofing across London Fields (E8), including homes on and around Broadway Market and Mapledene Road.
Flat-fronted houses around Mapledene usually hide a valley roof behind the parapet, and blocked valleys there are a common cause of damp in top-floor rooms. The Mapledene and Broadway Market conservation areas cover a good part of the neighbourhood.
Every job starts with an inspection, photos of the problem areas and a written quote, so you know exactly what is needed. We are based in Hackney E9, so London Fields is on our doorstep.
Can you match the original slates or tiles in London Fields?
Yes. We source reclaimed or new natural slate and clay tiles to match, which matters in conservation areas such as those in London Fields.
How quickly can you look at a roof leak in London Fields?
We are based in Hackney E9 and work across E8 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 London Fields?
Yes. Many London Fields 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.
Around London Fields, most houses are Victorian terraces with natural slate roofs, many hidden behind a front parapet with a central valley gutter. Over the years a lot of them have gained loft conversions, dormers and flat-roofed rear extensions, which bring their own maintenance needs.
What we usually find: slipped slates and nail fatigue on older roofs, blocked or split valley and parapet gutters, failed flashings around chimneys and dormers, and worn felt or asphalt on rear extension roofs.
Before work starts: parts of the area are within Hackney conservation areas, where natural slate is expected to be replaced like for like. Simple repairs do not normally need planning permission. We are based nearby in Hackney E9, so we can usually survey quickly and include access and any licences in the written quote.
We also carry out roofing in nearby Hackney, Dalston and Victoria Park.

“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.”
