Kensington London Roof Replacement and Installation

N.H.R.B.S. is a family-run roofing company based in Central London, carrying out roof replacements, repairs and new installations across Kensington and its surrounding streets. From Victorian stucco terraces and garden squares to mansion blocks and modern conversions, we assess each roof carefully and recommend the option that will last.

Kensington has one of the highest concentrations of listed buildings and conservation areas in London. We work within those rules every day, from material choices to the consent process, so the roof fits the street and satisfies the regulations.

Kensington's streets are defined by white stucco-fronted Victorian terraces and grand mansion blocks, many of them in conservation areas. Their roofs typically combine pitched slate sections with flat roofs over bays, extensions and dormers, along with substantial leadwork at parapets and valleys.

Pitched roofs on this stock suit Welsh slate with Code 5 lead, while the flat roof sections common on mansion blocks are well served by EPDM, felt or mastic asphalt. Breathable insulation such as TLX Gold helps meet modern efficiency standards without compromising a traditional building's fabric.

We replace and repair pitched roofs, slate roofs, flat roofs, lead work and guttering across Kensington. For period homes we favour natural slate and clay tiles with properly detailed leadwork; for the flat roofs that sit above many mansion blocks we use durable felt, asphalt or single-ply membranes.

Our Kensington roofing services cover:

Kensington's Victorian architecture is its defining feature, and much of it is protected. Roof work on these buildings means matching traditional materials, respecting the original detailing and getting the listed building or conservation-area process right.

Our team has 25 years of experience on heritage and listed properties, including 11 years maintaining the roofs of Oxford University. From structure to slating to leadwork, we deliver work that protects the building and looks right on the street.

All new roofs and full replacements come with a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, independent of our trading status, plus a Building Control compliance certificate for qualifying work.

With 36+ years of roofing experience across London and a reputation built on honest advice and quality workmanship, N.H.R.B.S. is the roofing company Kensington residents and managing agents rely on.

We offer professional home buyer roof surveys across Kensington, carried out up close by experienced roofers. A survey before exchange gives you a clear picture of the roof's condition and likely costs — essential when buying an older period home.
