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.

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.

“We recently had the pleasure of working with BARL for a complete roof renovation on our property, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The project involved extensive work, including the repointing of our chimney stacks, installation of new lead loft boxes and windows, a complete restructuring, replacement of coping stones, and reinforcement of party walls. Every aspect of the renovation was executed with precision and care, showcasing BARL’s exceptional craftsmanship. From start to finish, BARL demonstrated outstanding customer service, always ensuring our needs and concerns were addressed promptly and professionally. The team was not only skilled and knowledgeable but also a delight to work with. Their attention to detail was evident in every facet of the job, transforming our space with a level of quality and dedication that exceeded our expectations. The craftsmanship speaks for itself – our roof is now a testament to both functional strength and aesthetic beauty. For anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled team for roof renovations or any structural work, I can’t recommend BARL highly enough. Their work has not only enhanced the safety and durability of our property but has also elevated its overall appearance. We are grateful to have chosen BARL for this project and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.”
“Incredible lead work and attention to details. Found a solution to every leak”
“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!”
