Islington's Georgian squares, elegant Victorian terraces, and garden squares are among the finest domestic architecture in London. Homes around Canonbury, Barnsbury, and Highbury often sit in conservation areas where the character of the original roofscape, natural slate, cast iron guttering, dormer windows, and ornate chimney stacks, must be preserved. These roofs are old, and the problems they develop are just as traditional: nail sickness causing slipped slates, perished lead flashing, decayed timber gutters, and cracked chimney mortar. Repairs need to be sympathetic, well-matched, and carried out by contractors who understand heritage requirements.
MPM Roofing has maintained and restored Islington roofs for more than 20 years. We source reclaimed Welsh slate and matching materials, carry out careful slate and lead repairs, restore cast iron and timber gutters, and rebuild chimneys in keeping with the original detailing. For properties without conservation restrictions we also fit modern, discreet flat roof systems for extensions and dormers. We know Islington's planners, its access challenges, and its party wall requirements. Free survey, fixed written quote, and guaranteed workmanship: that is how we have earned the trust of homeowners across N1.
