We have worked extensively in Barnsbury for over 15 years, developing deep expertise in the area's distinctive Georgian roof construction. This includes butterfly roofs concealed behind parapets, hidden lead-lined box gutters, and natural Welsh slate coverings that have protected these properties for nearly two centuries.

We are experienced lead workers using traditional and modern techniques. ## Common Roofing Problems in Barnsbury Barnsbury's Georgian butterfly roofs are one of the area's most distinctive and most problematic architectural features. These M-shaped roofs channel water into a central lead-lined box gutter concealed behind the parapet. When this hidden gutter blocks, overflows, or develops a leak in the lead lining, the water has nowhere to go except into the building — causing devastating damage to period ceilings, walls, and floors. The natural Welsh slate used on Barnsbury's original roofs has exceptional longevity — 150 to 200 years in many cases. However, the iron nails used to fix these slates corrode over time, causing slates to slip out of position. Re-fixing slipping slates with modern stainless-steel nails is one of our most frequent jobs in Barnsbury. Parapet walls on Georgian terraces serve a dual purpose: they conceal the roof structure and protect the roof edge from wind. Over time, these parapets develop cracks and loose copings that allow water to penetrate into the wall core, causing spalling brickwork, internal damp, and eventually structural instability. Lead flashings around chimney stacks, parapet junctions, and dormer windows deteriorate through thermal cycling — expanding in summer heat and contracting in winter cold. Eventually the lead fatigues and splits, creating leak pathways that are often difficult to trace without specialist experience. The shared terrace construction means that roofing problems can transfer between properties. A failed parapet flashing on one house can cause damp in the neighbouring property. We regularly coordinate with multiple Barnsbury homeowners to resolve shared issues efficiently.
