We repair the hidden butterfly roofs, valley gutters and parapets behind Primrose Hill’s stucco terraces.
We replace cracked lead in Primrose Hill valley gutters in correctly sized sections so it lasts.
Shared stacks along Primrose Hill's terraces are repointed, re-flaunched and re-flashed.
Regular valley clearing stops Primrose Hill's hidden butterfly roofs from overflowing.
Primrose Hill is a conservation area with strict rules on roof changes, so we focus on careful like-for-like repairs that keep the roofline exactly as it was.
Because these roofs are hidden behind parapets, we photograph what we find and explain it clearly before giving you a written quote.
Primrose Hill is known for its colourful stucco-fronted Victorian terraces and crescents close to the park. We carry out roofing across Primrose Hill (NW1), including homes on and around Regent’s Park Road and Gloucester Avenue.
Behind the stucco fronts, Primrose Hill terraces mostly have slate roofs and parapet gutters that need regular clearing and occasional relining. The Primrose Hill conservation area means front elevations and rooflines must stay as built.
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 Primrose Hill is well within our regular working area.
Do you repair roofs on houses converted into flats in Primrose Hill?
Yes. Many Primrose Hill 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.
Do I need permission for roof work in Primrose Hill?
Like-for-like repairs usually do not, but changing materials or roof shape may. The Primrose Hill conservation area means front elevations and rooflines must stay as built. We can advise before work starts.
Primrose Hill’s streets of pastel-painted stucco terraces and Victorian brick houses are among the most photographed in London, and their roofs are just as traditional: natural slate behind parapets, central valley gutters, mansard storeys and rows of shared chimney stacks.
What we usually find: slipped slates and nail fatigue on older roofs, worn lead in valley and parapet gutters, cracked render and flashings on chimney stacks, and leaks where later mansards and dormers meet the original roof.
Before work starts: almost all of Primrose Hill is covered by the Primrose Hill conservation area in Camden, so roofs are expected to be repaired like for like in natural slate and lead. We advise on this at the free survey and include scaffolding licences in the written quote.
We also carry out roofing in nearby Camden, Belsize Park and Regent’s Park, and leadwork in Primrose Hill.

“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.”
