Roofers for Converted Houses in Finsbury Park

A large number of the tall Victorian houses around Finsbury Park and Stroud Green have been divided into flats. Ashlar Roofing works as a roofer across N4, on both the Haringey and Islington sides of the park, and many of the roofs we look at here sit above three or four separate homes.

These are substantial houses, often three storeys with a basement, slate roofs, tall chimney stacks and decorative bays. The roof is high, so access usually needs planning, and the top-floor flat is often the only way to reach a roof hatch. A leak tends to be noticed first by whoever lives on the top floor, even when the roof belongs to everyone.

The area also has purpose-built mansion blocks and later flats with flat roofs, parapets and internal gutters. They need a different kind of inspection, with more attention to outlets, upstands and the condition of the membrane.

Shared Roofs, Freeholds and Getting Work Agreed

When a roof is shared, the hardest part of a repair is often getting it agreed. In a converted house the freeholder may be a company, a landlord or the leaseholders together, and each may need to see what is wrong before paying for it. We help by sending clear photos, a plain explanation of the cause and a quote that sets out exactly what the work involves.

Access through a top-floor flat is arranged with the resident in advance. Where scaffolding is needed for the front of a tall house, we plan its position with you, and a licence from the relevant council is required if it stands on the pavement. Because N4 straddles two boroughs, we confirm whether your address falls under Haringey or Islington before anything else.

  • The condition of battens, timbers and leadwork found during the survey
  • Whether gutters, fascias or a chimney are dealt with at the same time

FAQs

Finsbury Park Roofing Questions

I live in the top-floor flat. Can I book the survey?

Yes. Anyone can report a problem and arrange a survey. If the roof is shared, we will provide photos and a quote you can pass to the freeholder or the other leaseholders.

Do you work on both the Haringey and Islington sides of N4?

Yes. Ashlar Roofing covers the whole of N4. If your work needs consent or a scaffold licence, we confirm which council is responsible for your address.

How is a tall Victorian roof reached safely?

Through a roof hatch, with ladders from a lower roof, or with a scaffold, depending on the job. We decide on the safest method at the survey and include it in the quote.

Our mansion block has a flat roof with internal gutters. Do you work on those?

Yes. We inspect the membrane, outlets, upstands and parapets and recommend either repairs or a new covering, working with the building’s managing agent.

How long will a repair take on a converted house?

Small repairs are often completed in a day once access is ready. Larger work, especially where scaffolding is needed, takes longer and the timing is set out when we quote.
