Roofing in Islington, N1, N5 and N7
Islington is our home patch. From our unit on Elthorne Road we cover N1, N5 and N7: the Georgian squares of Barnsbury and Canonbury, the long Victorian terraces off Upper Street and Caledonian Road, and the mansion blocks and conversions around Highbury Corner.
Most Islington roofs are hidden behind a parapet. Behind the front wall sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters lined with lead, natural Welsh slate on the pitches, and flat roofs on the back additions. When a valley gutter blocks or the lead splits, water runs straight into the top-floor ceiling, often a long way from where it got in.
Recent work in N1 includes an asphalt flat roof repair our customer Brandon L. described as finished on schedule with a detailed explanation of the work. We trace the leak first, repair what has failed, and give you a written price before we start.
Conservation areas cover much of the borough, so we match natural slate and keep the original lines of the roof. Need a new roof rather than a repair? We strip, re-felt, re-batten and re-slate, with a 25-year guarantee on slate roofs.
