Traditional Materials & Church Roofs

Many churches in Perthshire were built using traditional materials such as natural slate, lead and lime mortar.

When carrying out repairs, we aim to work sympathetically with the existing roof and retain serviceable original materials wherever practical.

Using appropriate materials and repair methods can help preserve the appearance and character of historic church buildings while protecting them from further weather damage.

Church Roof Maintenance & Inspections

Regular inspection and maintenance can help identify problems with a church roof before they develop into more extensive and costly repairs.

We can assess traditional slate roofs, leadwork, chimneys and associated masonry for signs of deterioration, storm damage or water ingress.

Where repairs are required, we can explain the work involved and provide a quotation for suitable repairs and maintenance.

We welcome enquiries from churches, trustees, property managers and organisations responsible for the care of historic buildings throughout Perthshire and surrounding areas.

Listed & Historic Church Roofs

Many churches across Perthshire are listed or historically significant buildings, where roofing work needs to be carried out with particular care.

Repairs may involve traditional natural slate, leadwork, lime mortar, stonework and other original building details.

Wherever practical, our approach is to repair and retain suitable existing materials rather than replace them unnecessarily.

For listed buildings, certain alterations may require Listed Building Consent. We can work alongside property owners, church representatives and other professionals where required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you repair roofs on listed churches?

Yes. We carry out roofing repairs on listed and historic buildings, including traditional slate, leadwork, chimneys and associated masonry.

Listed buildings can require particular care when selecting materials and repair methods, and some alterations may require Listed Building Consent.

Can you repair an individual section of a church roof?

Yes. Where the surrounding roof remains serviceable, it may be possible to carry out localised repairs rather than replace large areas unnecessarily.

This can include replacing slipped or damaged slates, repairing leadwork, addressing water ingress and carrying out repairs around chimneys and other roof details.

Do you carry out leadwork repairs on church roofs?

Yes. We repair and renew leadwork on traditional church roofs, including flashings, valleys, gutters and other weatherproofing details.

Leadwork is an important part of many historic roofs, and repairs should be carried out carefully to protect the surrounding slate, stonework and original building fabric.

Can you repair traditional slate roofs on churches?

Yes. We carry out repairs to traditional natural slate church roofs, including replacing slipped, cracked or damaged slates and repairing defective roof details.

Where suitable, we aim to retain and reuse serviceable existing slates to help preserve the character and appearance of the original roof.

Do you provide church roof inspections in Perthshire?

Yes. We can inspect church roofs to identify issues such as slipped or damaged slates, deteriorating leadwork, chimney defects and signs of water ingress.

Early identification of roof problems can allow smaller repairs to be carried out before deterioration leads to more extensive and costly work.

Do you carry out chimney and stonework repairs on churches?

Yes. Alongside roofing work, we can carry out repairs to traditional chimney stacks and associated stonework on church and historic buildings.

This can include lime mortar repointing, masonry repairs and work around chimney details where deterioration may be contributing to water ingress.
