Yes, the freeholder is almost universally responsible for maintaining, repairing, and replacing the roof of a leasehold building. Because the roof constitutes a vital part of the external structural envelope and shared foundation of the property, its upkeep falls under the freeholder's structural maintenance obligations. While the freeholder manages and executes the roofing repairs, the actual financial costs are typically distributed among all leaseholders through annual service charges or special capital reserve fund assessments levied by the management corporation or landlord.
