Specialist roofing for loft conversions across North London. Dormer construction, Velux installation, waterproof integration with existing roofs.
Loft conversions are North London's most popular home improvement — and the roofing element is the most critical part. Whether adding a rear dormer to a Victorian terrace or a hip-to-gable on a 1930s semi, we ensure watertight integration.
Rear dormers on North London's Victorian and Edwardian terraces must integrate seamlessly with the existing roof. We install lead cheeks, GRP or lead flat roof coverings, and proper flashing details at every junction. Poor dormer roofing is the single most common cause of loft conversion leaks.
Converting a hipped roof end to a vertical gable wall creates significant additional loft space on North London's 1930s semis. The new gable wall and extended roof slope must be properly weatherproofed with correct tile coursing and lead flashing at the party wall junction.
Roof windows must be correctly flashed into the tile or slate coursing. We use manufacturer-specific flashing kits — never generic solutions — and ensure the window is positioned to maintain weathertight tile courses above and below.

Every completed project receives a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. If any defect arises from our installation or repair work within 10 years, we return and fix it at no cost. The guarantee is transferable if you sell your property — an asset for any future buyer.
We carry £5 million public liability insurance and £10 million employer's liability insurance. Certificates are available on request before any work begins. You are completely protected on every job we undertake on your property.
Registration with the National Federation of Roofing Contractors means we meet independently assessed standards for quality, safety, and workmanship. NFRC membership is a reliable indicator of a professional, competent roofing contractor.
North London's housing stock is among the most valuable in the UK. A poorly executed roofing job doesn't just risk water damage — it risks the structural integrity and market value of your most significant asset. The difference between a competent repair and a bodged one can be tens of thousands of pounds in consequential damage over the following years.
We see the consequences of substandard work every week — flashings sealed with mastic instead of properly dressed lead, tiles fixed with adhesive instead of correct nails and clips, flat roofs installed without adequate falls, and ventilation modifications that create condensation problems worse than the original issue. Every one of these shortcuts creates a future problem that costs more to fix than doing the job correctly in the first place.
Our approach is straightforward: diagnose accurately, specify correctly, install to standard, and guarantee the result. We use materials from reputable manufacturers — Marley, Redland, Forticrete, Topseal, Firestone, BLM lead — and install to the relevant British Standards (BS 5534 for tiles, BS 6915 for lead). Our 10-year guarantee is not a marketing claim — it's a contractual commitment backed by our business reputation and our 127 verified Google reviews.
If you've received a quote for loft conversion roofing that seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you'd like a second opinion from a trusted North London roofer, call 0203 538 0907. We're happy to inspect and advise even if you go with someone else.
Every roofing project carries risk — to your property and to the workers on your roof. We mitigate both comprehensively. Our team holds CSCS cards for roof work, ensuring competence in working at height. We carry £5 million public liability insurance protecting your property against accidental damage, and £10 million employer's liability covering our team. Both certificates are provided before work begins — if your roofer cannot produce these, reconsider hiring them.
Our NFRC (National Federation of Roofing Contractors) registration is independently assessed. NFRC members are vetted for technical competence, financial stability, health and safety compliance, and customer service standards. It is the most reliable indicator of a professional roofing contractor in the UK and the accreditation most frequently requested by surveyors and mortgage lenders.
Our 10-year written workmanship guarantee is transferable — if you sell your property, the guarantee passes to the new owner. This protects your investment and adds value to your home. We also provide all relevant manufacturer material warranties separately, typically ranging from 15 to 30 years depending on the product specified.
Every material we install meets or exceeds the relevant British Standard. Tiles and slates are fixed to BS 5534, which specifies nail/clip requirements based on tile type, roof pitch, and wind exposure zone. Flat roofing membranes are installed to BS 6229, with minimum falls of 1:40 and proper upstand detailing at every abutment. Lead sheet work follows Lead Sheet Association guidelines — all joints bossed or welded, never sealed with mastic. Ridge and hip components use dry-fix mechanical systems compliant with BS 8612 where appropriate.
We specify materials from established manufacturers — Marley, Redland, and Forticrete for concrete and clay tiles. Topseal and Cure-It for GRP fibreglass systems. Firestone RubberCover and ClassicBond for EPDM membranes. BLM British Lead for sheet lead. These manufacturers provide product warranties of 15-30 years that supplement our own 10-year workmanship guarantee.
We never use cheap substitutes, reclaimed materials of unknown provenance (we source reclaimed slates and tiles only from reputable yards with verified origin), or materials below the specification required for the application. The difference between a roof that lasts 20 years and one that lasts 60 is almost entirely in the material specification and installation quality — not the price.
If you have received a quote from another contractor and something does not feel right — the price seems too low, the specification is vague, or you are not confident in the diagnosis — call us for a free second opinion. We will inspect your roof independently, explain what we find, and provide our own quote. There is no charge and no obligation. We would rather you made an informed decision with another contractor than an uninformed one with anyone.

Last month a homeowner on a Victorian terrace in Islington called about persistent damp on their chimney breast wall. Two previous roofers had sealed the chimney flashing with mastic — the damp returned within weeks both times. We inspected and found the root cause: the lead step flashing had fatigue-cracked at every fold line after 90+ years of thermal cycling. Mastic was never going to fix a structural lead failure.
We stripped the failed flashing, raked the mortar joints, and installed new code 4 milled lead — properly stepped, bossed into the brickwork, and wedged with lead wedges. Total cost: £380 including scaffolding. The chimney breast dried out within three weeks and has remained dry through subsequent heavy rain. The two mastic repairs that preceded our work cost the homeowner a combined £450 and solved nothing.
This is a typical example of why accurate diagnosis matters more than fast, cheap fixes. Call 0203 538 0907 — we find the real problem and fix it properly the first time.
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of every successful repair. We inspect from ladder level and, where safe, walk the roof surface. We check tile and slate condition, flashing integrity, ridge and hip mortar, valley linings, chimney stacks, guttering, and fascias. We use binoculars for areas that cannot be safely accessed and drone photography where the roof is too high or complex for visual inspection from a ladder.
Every issue is photographed and documented. We show you the images on a tablet or phone, explain what we have found in plain English, and outline your options — from the minimum intervention needed to the comprehensive solution. You decide how to proceed, with no pressure and no upselling.
If we cannot identify the source of a leak visually, we use controlled water testing — running water over small sections systematically while an observer watches inside. This isolates the exact entry point and prevents unnecessary work on areas that are not the problem.
All timelines are weather-dependent. We provide a realistic schedule with every quote and communicate proactively if conditions require adjustment.
We assess access requirements during your free inspection and quote scaffolding transparently as a separate line item. For minor repairs — a handful of tiles on a single-storey section — a roof ladder may be sufficient, saving you the scaffold cost entirely. For full re-roofs, chimney work, or multi-storey properties, scaffold is essential for safety and quality.
Typical North London scaffold costs: Mid-terrace with limited rear access (Holloway, Islington, Camden): £800–£1,400. End-terrace with two elevations: £1,000–£1,800. Semi-detached (Barnet, Finchley, Palmers Green): £1,000–£1,600. Detached (Muswell Hill, Highgate, Hampstead): £1,500–£3,000. Multi-level complex (four-storey Camden, steep Highgate Hill): £2,000–£3,500.
In North London, parking permits may be required for scaffold lorry access on resident-controlled streets. We manage permit applications with the relevant council (Islington, Camden, Haringey, Barnet, Enfield, Hackney) and include any permit costs in our quote.
Noise: Tile stripping and battening generates significant noise. We start at 8am and finish by 6pm (earlier on Saturdays). We notify immediate neighbours before work begins.
Dust and debris: We use chutes and skips to contain waste. Dust sheets protect gardens, driveways, and parked cars. We sweep and clean at the end of each working day, not just at job completion.
Weather: We do not strip a roof unless the forecast supports completing the waterproof layer within the same day. If weather turns unexpectedly, we tarp immediately — your property is never left exposed overnight. Rain delays extend the programme but do not compromise quality. We communicate proactively if the schedule needs to adjust.
Living in the property: You can remain in your home during most roofing work. For full re-roofs, expect 3–8 days of activity overhead. We maintain safe access to all doors at all times and protect your garden and external areas throughout.
