Our Hampstead Roofing Services

Heritage Roof Restoration

Hampstead's abundance of listed buildings requires specialist expertise. Our roof repair Hampstead service includes authentic material sourcing, traditional installation methods, and full compliance with Camden Council's stringent conservation requirements. We regularly work with local conservation officers and heritage consultants.

Slate and Tile Roofing

The Welsh slate roofs typical of Hampstead's Victorian properties require expert care. We maintain relationships with quarries to source matching slate for invisible repairs, and work with specialist suppliers to obtain discontinued clay tiles for Edwardian and Arts and Crafts properties throughout NW3.

Lead and Zinc Work

Hampstead's period properties feature extensive leadwork requiring traditional skills. Our craftsmen are trained in lead welding and bossing techniques essential for maintaining original details on dormers, valleys, and the elaborate chimney flashings found on properties from Hampstead Square to Downshire Hill.

Emergency Storm Response

Hampstead's hilltop location makes properties particularly vulnerable to storm damage. Our emergency roofer Hampstead service provides rapid response to weather-related damage, with teams familiar with accessing properties on steep hills and narrow historic streets.
