Traditional Craftsmanship for Historic Properties

Heritage roofing requires sensitivity to a building’s history and structure. We use authentic materials such as Welsh slate, handmade clay tiles, and lead flashing to match the property’s original design. All work complies with local planning and listed building consent requirements.

Our Heritage Roofing Process

Survey & Assessment: We examine the roof structure and materials to understand its original composition.
Material Matching: Authentic materials are sourced to replicate original slates, tiles, and leadwork.
Conservation Approval: We liaise with local councils and conservation officers when permissions are needed.
Specialist Repairs: Using traditional methods, we repair or replace damaged sections without altering the roof’s character.
Finishing Touches: Detailing is completed by hand to preserve the heritage aesthetic.
Aftercare & Maintenance: We provide guidance on ongoing upkeep to protect your investment.
