Will and Alex were friendly, polite and kept us clearly informed throughout the project. Their workmanship was outstanding and they completed the job neatly.
Roofers in Barnet
EN4, EN5, N12, N20
More 1930s semis and detached houses than terraces, which means bigger tiled roofs, longer fascia runs and proper gardens to work in. EN4, EN5, N12 and N20.
The housing stock in Barnet
Barnet is a different job from inner North London. The stock is dominated by interwar semis and detached houses with large pitched roofs in clay or concrete tile, generous soffits and fascias, and (the part we like) actual driveways and side access. It means scaffolding is simpler and materials can get to the back of the house, which can help keep a job quicker and less disruptive.
Tiled roofs, fascias and soffits
Interwar houses in Barnet generally have concrete or clay tiled roofs. These last well, but the mortar bedding on ridge and hip tiles perishes long before the tiles do, and that's usually the first thing to go. Loose ridge tiles in a windy spell are both a leak and a genuine safety issue.
We re-bed or dry-fix ridges and hips, replace cracked tiles, and renew fascias, soffits and bargeboards where the timber has gone soft. On a house with long eaves runs that work makes an immediate visual difference as well as a practical one.
Gardens, patios and driveways
Barnet gardens are bigger, which means patios here are usually a proper project rather than a small paved area: levels, steps, retaining walls, drainage and sometimes a driveway at the front as well.
Side access makes a real difference to cost. Being able to barrow materials and spoil around the side of the house rather than through it takes days off the job, and we'll reflect that in the price.
Extensions, garages and flat roofs
Plenty of Barnet houses have an attached garage or a side return with a flat roof that has been quietly failing for years. Garage roofs in particular get ignored until something stored underneath gets ruined.
We re-cover in EPDM or GRP with the falls set properly, and add or move the outlet where the original drainage was never right.

What people say once the job's done.
Alex and Will travelled over… to do this for me before the next lot of rain, and giving me peace of mind. Absolutely superb service with friendly and approachable guys willing to help.
Called Aftercare to do a repair on my roof. Will and his team came out, done a fantastic job in quick timing, reasonably priced.

Barnet: local questions.
My ridge tiles have come loose. Is that urgent?
Yes, treat it as urgent. A loose ridge tile on a two-storey house is a serious hazard in high wind, and once one goes the rest of the run is usually close behind. It's also a straightforward and relatively inexpensive fix, so there's no reason to leave it.
Is a job in Barnet cheaper than the same job in Islington?
Often, yes. Side access, off-street parking and simpler scaffolding all reduce cost, and there's rarely a parking suspension or a street licence to pay for. The saving is real and it shows up on the quote.
Can you do the driveway and the patio at the same time?
Yes, and it usually works out better. One mobilisation, one skip or grab lorry, and one disruption instead of two. We can phase the payments across the job if that helps.
Do you replace fascias and soffits in uPVC or timber?
We can talk you through both at the inspection. uPVC is lower maintenance; painted timber suits some period properties and is sometimes expected in conservation areas.
