We’ve completed lead roofing work on hundreds of E8 properties, from Victorian terraces near Broadway Market to modern extensions and loft conversions. Our craftsmen combine traditional leadworking techniques with modern roofing standards to ensure lasting performance.
All BARL leadwork is carried out to BS EN 12588 and Lead Sheet Association (LSA) standards. We use premium milled sheet lead (Code 3–8), secure copper fixings, and patination oil to protect against corrosion. Our team is fully insured, certified, and known for precision and reliability.
Every London Fields project is carried out to the same high standard. Whether we’re repairing a small flashing or installing a full lead valley, our attention to detail ensures perfect joins, watertight seals, and long-term durability.

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.

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 leadwork across London Fields (E8), including homes on and around Richmond Road and Broadway Market.
Hidden valley gutters behind parapets near London Fields are often lead-lined and are a common cause of top-floor leaks. The Mapledene and Broadway Market conservation areas cover a good part of the neighbourhood.
We inspect the lead, photograph any splits or lifted flashings, and set out the repair or replacement in a written quote. We are based in Hackney E9, so London Fields is on our doorstep.
How long does new leadwork last?
Correctly installed lead can last many decades. Most failures we see in London Fields come from old repairs, poor fixings or blocked gutters.
Do you replace lead bay roofs in London Fields?
Yes. Bay window roofs are among the most common leadwork we do in E8, and we renew them in code-appropriate lead with proper rolls and laps.
Do you use traditional lead for listed homes in London Fields?
Yes. For listed and conservation-area homes we use traditional detailing and can match sand-cast lead where required.
The Victorian terraces around London Fields rely on lead for their valley and parapet gutters, chimney flashings and bay window roofs. Many still have their original lead, which is now well past its expected life.
What we usually find: cracked and patched lead bay roofs, valley gutters that have split or been covered with felt, flashings that have come away from chimneys and walls, and leaks where newer dormers meet the original roof.
Before work starts: in Hackney conservation areas lead is expected to be replaced like for like. We check the gutter, flashing and the wall above it so the cause is fixed, not just the drip, and confirm the work in a written quote.
We also carry out leadwork in nearby Hackney, Dalston and Victoria Park. See also our guide to lead bay window roofs.
