The company
A roofer for one patch of north London
The roofs this company works on
Urban Roofing Services Ltd is a roofing company for the housing of Wood Green and the streets round it: the late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas that make up most of the district, the planned terraces of the Noel Park estate on their tight grid of streets, houses that have been divided into flats, and the flat-roofed back additions, dormers and bay roofs those houses have gathered. The work is repair, re-covering and the junctions where roofs leak, not new roof structures.
Wood Green sits on ground that falls away east from Alexandra Palace, and from many of its streets the palace is in view on its hill. Its roofscapes are slopes broken by chimneys, gables, dormers and the occasional corner turret; the New River runs through behind the back gardens; to the south the streets of the Harringay Ladder fall toward Green Lanes. That is the stock the company knows and the patch it works in.

The whole name, every time
Several roofing businesses in England have names that begin with the same two words. This one is Urban Roofing Services Ltd, company number 17431576, of Wood Green, London N22, and it signs every survey, scope and hand-over with that full name and number. If a message or a listing uses a shortened form of the name, it is worth checking the number before taking it as ours.
The rules the work follows
BS 5534 for slating and tiling: battens, underlays and a fixing specification worked out from wind exposure, with ridges and hips fixed mechanically.

BS EN 12588 and BS 6915 for rolled lead: Code 4 for flashings, Code 5 for aprons and valleys, laid in bays that can move.
Building Regulations on re-roofing: a building-control application whenever a job crosses the thresholds, made before the work starts.
CDM 2015 and the Work at Height Regulations a construction phase plan before work starts, and edge protection on every roof edge.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 telling owners when their notices are needed, well before the scaffold goes up.
