Georgian terraces, butterfly roofs and hidden gutters

Much of Islington sits under Welsh slate on Georgian and early Victorian terraces. Many have butterfly (London) roofs: two slopes falling to a central valley gutter, hidden behind a front parapet. You cannot see them from the street, which is why they get neglected until water comes through the top-floor ceiling.

Mansion blocks and converted houses add flat roofs, roof terraces and tall shared chimney stacks. We get up to the roof, find what has actually failed and put the price in writing.

Common roof problems in Islington

Blocked valley gutters

A butterfly roof drains through one central lead or felt valley to a rear hopper. Leaves and silt block it and the water backs up under the slates. We clear, repair or reline the valley.

Parapet and box gutter leaks

Front parapets hide box gutters that split along their joints. We re-lead or reline them and repoint the parapet coping.

Nail sick slates

Old slates slip when their nails rust through. We refix with tingles or replace, and tell you honestly when the slope needs re-slating.

Three quotes, chose Masterfix

Materfix roofing and guttering Ltd came out and inspected my roof as I was having a leak in my bedroom ceilings. They gave me a quote and I also got more quotes from 2 other companies which were around the same price. I decided to go with masterfix. They came out the next week and did a very good job. Very well manoured bunch of lads and would highly recommend them to anybody. Thanks again
