Our flashing work ensures complete weatherproof protection, preventing leaks and maintaining the traditional character of your property. We use correct lead codes, fixings, and sealing methods for all roof types.
From Chalcot Square to Gloucester Avenue, we know the materials, structure, and detailing unique to NW1’s architecture. Our skilled roofers deliver reliable, high-quality leadwork that protects your home and preserves its timeless appeal.
Primrose Hill is known for its colourful stucco-fronted Victorian terraces and crescents close to the park. We carry out leadwork across Primrose Hill (NW1), including homes on and around Gloucester Avenue and Chalcot Square.
Primrose Hill terraces have lead parapet gutters, cornice weatherings and balcony coverings behind their stucco fronts. The Primrose Hill conservation area means front elevations and rooflines must stay as built.
Every leadwork job begins with an inspection and photos, followed by a written quote for the right repair. We are based in Hackney E9, so Primrose Hill is well within our regular working area.
Do you replace lead bay roofs in Primrose Hill?
Yes. Bay window roofs are among the most common leadwork we do in NW1, and we renew them in code-appropriate lead with proper rolls and laps.
Do you use traditional lead for listed homes in Primrose Hill?
Yes. For listed and conservation-area homes we use traditional detailing and can match sand-cast lead where required.
Can you fix leaks around chimneys in NW1?
Yes. We replace stepped flashings, soakers and back gutters around chimney stacks across NW1.
Primrose Hill’s Victorian terraces and villas use lead for the central valley gutters of their butterfly roofs, the gutters behind front parapets, bay and porch roofs, and the flashings around shared chimney stacks and later dormers.
What we usually find: split or patched lead in valley gutters, bay and porch roofs that have cracked with age, flashings that have lost their pointing, and dormers from loft conversions with poorly finished lead details.
Before work starts: almost all of Primrose Hill is in the Primrose Hill conservation area in Camden, where lead is expected to be renewed in lead. We check the gutter, outlet and the wall above it so the cause is fixed, not just the drip.
We also carry out leadwork in nearby Camden and Hampstead, and roofing in Primrose Hill.
