Your Local Roofers in Shoreditch
Shoreditch sits right on our doorstep — we're based next door in Tower Hamlets, so we're rarely more than a few minutes from Old Street, Hoxton or Redchurch Street. Flat roof leaking, skylight dripping, slate gone on a terrace? We'll come and take a look. The quote is free, there's no call-out charge, and no pressure to go ahead.
Roofing in Shoreditch
Shoreditch is where a lot of the old East End industry was, and many of those buildings are still standing — former factories and warehouses on Kingsland Road, Curtain Road and around Redchurch Street, now converted into flats, studios and offices. That gives the area a roofscape unlike the terraced streets nearby: big flat roofs, parapets, rooflights and skylights, and roof terraces and gardens built into old industrial frames.
Flat roofs are the bread and butter here. Felt and asphalt coverings on converted warehouses and on the 1960s–80s blocks fail at the seams, upstands and outlets, and when they do the water can track a long way before it shows inside. We re-cover them in modern systems — EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and torch-on felt — and we sort the leadwork, flashings and rooflight upstands that usually let go first.
There are still plenty of Victorian terraces and flats-above-shops on the E1 and E2 borders too, with slate roofs, valley gutters and chimney stacks that need the usual period care. And because so much of Shoreditch is commercial, we're used to working around tenants, businesses and tight access — see our commercial roofing page.
What We Do in Shoreditch
Most of our Shoreditch work is flat roofing and repairs — re-covers, leak tracing, leadwork, skylight and parapet detailing, and gutter clearing. We also handle pitched-roof repairs on the period terraces, full re-roofs, and emergency call-outs seven days a week when a flat roof gives way.
Why Shoreditch Owners Call Us
We're local, independent and fully insured, our workmanship is guaranteed in writing, and we're as comfortable on a converted warehouse roof as on a Victorian terrace. Based just over the border in Tower Hamlets, we can usually be there fast.

Shoreditch Roofing FAQs
Do you repair warehouse conversion roofs?
Yes — Shoreditch's converted warehouses carry big flat roofs, rooflights and terraces that fail at the edges and upstands. We repair what's sound and re-cover what isn't.
Can you work on commercial premises in Shoreditch?
Yes — shops, studios, bars and offices, scheduled around trading hours where the job allows, with photos and written scopes for landlords and agents.
Which postcodes do you cover here?
E1, E2 and the EC2 City fringe — Shoreditch, Hoxton and the streets between.
Water's showing around a rooflight — is that urgent?
Treat it as urgent if it's actively dripping: call rather than use the form. Rooflight upstands and flashings are a classic failure point, and catching them early keeps the repair small.
