Traditional techniques. Conservation-grade materials.

Our Historical Roofing Services

From Collyweston stone to leadwork and timber structures, we offer a full range of specialist historical roofing services tailored to listed buildings, conservation areas, and historic homes.

Collyweston Stone & Blue Slate Roofing

We source and lay traditional roofing materials using heritage techniques refined over generations. Whether it’s newly mined Collyweston or reclaimed Welsh slate, every roof is installed with precision, authenticity, and lasting durability. Our work is always conservation-compliant and sympathetic to the original building.

Leadwork & Chimney Repairs

We carry out specialist leadwork including valleys, aprons, and flashings using traditional codes and methods. Our team also rebuilds or repoints chimney stacks to ensure safety and structural integrity while maintaining the original appearance — essential in listed and period properties.

Conservation Roof Surveys & Reports

We provide detailed heritage roof condition reports to assist with listed building consent, grant funding applications, and long-term maintenance planning. Our surveys are tailored to the requirements of local conservation officers and planning departments.

Historical Roof Restorations

From partial refurbishments to full reroofs, we restore historic roofs using reclaimed or period-appropriate materials. Ideal for listed buildings, conservation properties, and traditional homes across Lincolnshire, Rutland, Cambridgeshire, Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.

Timber Roof Structures

Our skilled carpenters repair and replicate traditional roof structures, including rafters, purlins, king posts, and trusses. Whether replacing rotten timber or rebuilding to historic specifications, we preserve the integrity and shape of original roofs with materials and joinery in keeping with the age and style of the property.
