Traditional Materials & Conservation Roofing

Work on listed and historic buildings often requires greater care than standard roofing work. The materials, detailing and methods used can be an important part of the character of the building.
We understand the importance of working sympathetically with traditional roofs and using appropriate materials wherever possible. This can include natural slate, traditional leadwork and compatible lime mortar around chimneys and adjoining masonry.
Where existing materials remain serviceable, we aim to retain and reuse them rather than replacing them unnecessarily.
For listed buildings, some alterations may require Listed Building Consent or other approval. Where required, the property owner should confirm the necessary permissions with the relevant local authority or conservation professional before work proceeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need permission to repair the roof of a listed building?
Some roofing work on listed buildings may require Listed Building Consent, particularly where materials, appearance or historic details are being altered. Requirements vary depending on the property and proposed work, so owners should check with the relevant local authority or conservation professional where necessary.
Can original roof slates be reused?
Yes, where existing natural slates remain in suitable condition, they can often be carefully removed and reused. Retaining serviceable original materials can help preserve the character and appearance of a traditional roof.
Do you repair traditional slate roofs?
Yes. We carry out natural slate roof repairs, replacement of damaged or missing slates and more extensive restoration work on traditional and historic properties.
Do you carry out leadwork on listed buildings?
Yes. We undertake traditional leadwork and lead roof repairs, including work around chimneys, valleys and other roof details where appropriate.
Can you repair the stonework and chimney at the same time as the roof?
