About Us – Barris Roofing Ltd
Founded in 1984 by Peter Morris, Barris Roofing has been a trusted name in the roofing industry for over four decades. In 2011, following a career-ending injury that brought his professional football career to a close, Peter's son Nick Morris joined the business. Together, they incorporated Barris Roofing Ltd and laid the foundation for a new era of growth, professionalism, and innovation.
Today, Barris Roofing Ltd operates with a dedicated team of 12 skilled professionals, including four fully trained installation teams who deliver expert roofing services across London and Surrey. Our work ranges from bespoke domestic roofing to large-scale commercial contracts, always delivered to the highest standards of quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.
We are headquartered in Croydon at a secure, gated commercial unit that houses our main office and product showroom. Clients are welcome to visit for consultations, material demonstrations, and project planning. With ample parking and full meeting facilities, we are fully equipped to host clients, architects, developers, and surveyors alike.
Whether you're a homeowner or a commercial developer, Barris Roofing Ltd offers a level of care, craftsmanship, and credibility that only decades of experience can deliver.

Company mission statement.
To provide a trusted, smooth, and expert service to our clients by way of innovative solutions to age old problems.
Roofing is rarely an enjoyable thing to spend your money on, and we appreciate that. It typically involves a problem.. which carries a cost. Post covid, prices have escalated rapidly in the roofing industry. We are investing now, to stand out in the near future. We have invested £150,000 in drone technology, AI customer software technology & cherry picker access platforms.
This investment enables our clients to book free quotes online, at a time convenient for them*. At the appointment, we typically use drones to inspect the roof, saving high end images for evaluation back in our office. We can also model the roof using photogrammetry, for surveys or overhaul projects. Our experienced surveyors then analyse the images, and send a digital quote via email.. from which you can accept, decline, comment or query. Once accepted, we organise access requirements & offer start dates to choose from. Where possible, we can access your roof via cherry pickers.. saving you money on scaffolding & the inconvenience of scaffolding erected on your property.
Go Green!..
With our solar offerings (starting May 24 / pre orders available from Jan 24), we aim to contribute to reducing carbon emissions via solar energy generation. Renewal energy is more affordable than ever, and high electricity costs, make now the ideal time to switch to solar.

Staff, directors, community work & vehicles
🚐 Our Fleet & Equipment
At Barris Roofing Ltd, we believe in investing in the right tools and vehicles to ensure efficiency, reliability, and professionalism on every job. Our current fleet includes three brand-new ULEZ-compliant Ford Transit vans, a Ford Ranger for tougher access jobs, and our Nissan CTE cherry picker, which allows for safe and efficient work at height without the need for scaffolding in certain cases. For smaller inspections and quick response surveys, you might even spot our Director Nick zipping around on his Vespa scooter—a practical (and stylish!) solution for navigating the streets of London and Surrey.
We also own a substantial inventory of specialist equipment, including tile bumpers, petrol and diesel generators, temporary fencing, mobile welfare units, and portable toilets, ensuring that our sites are well-managed, safe, and self-sufficient at all times. This commitment to self-delivery helps us maintain control, reduce delays, and improve project outcomes for our clients.
👨👩👦 Family-Owned, Client-Focused
Barris Roofing Ltd is—and always has been—a proud family-run business. Founders Peter and Nick Morris personally oversee surveys and site inspections, bringing decades of hands-on roofing knowledge to every project. Christine Morris manages the office and client communications, ensuring that every enquiry is handled with care and professionalism.
We value long-term relationships and community engagement, which is why we invest not only in our business but also in our clients and staff. As part of our commitment to giving back, we hold two hospitality season tickets at Chelsea FC, located in the exclusive Harris Lounge. Clients and subscribers to our mailing list are automatically entered into regular prize draws to win matchday experiences—a small thank you from us for being part of the Barris Roofing journey.
