10 Excellent contractors - solved problems that have existed for over 20 years.
Posted 16 July
Excellent work completed. We have used BARL a few times now - and all of their work has been completed on time and on budget. I would not hesitate to recommend them. They often go the extra distance to ensure full satisfaction. They have solved a leaking roof that we've had for over 20 years.Verified reviewerJob location: E2Response from Buildings and Restorations Limited

10 New slate roof and leadworks
Posted 03 July
Barl installed a new slate roof for me to a very high specification including all the leadwork flashings and leadwork around the chimneys, resecuring the chimney pots too. It was completed on schedule and was signed off by building control without any issues. The team is on point, the works were project managed and the communication throughout was excellent. Big thank you to Lee in the office and David the site manager. They really know what they are doing and kept me in the loop throughout. I highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: SE1110 Repointing and cleaning brickwork on front and side of Victorian terrace house.

Posted 17 March
After enduring persistent leaks and frequent repairs on our flat roof, we decided it was time for a lasting solution. Choosing a GRP fibreglass roofing system has been the best choice. The installation was straightforward, resulting in a sleek finish. Very good service from Barl team and great communication.Verified reviewerJob location: E89.67 new roof
