Services
Collyweston Slate Roofing
Specialist installation and restoration of Collyweston slate roofs using traditional methods. We source reclaimed slates and employ lime mortar techniques to maintain historical accuracy. Our team handles projects ranging from complete re-slating of Grade II listed properties to targeted repairs, ensuring compliance with conservation area regulations while preserving architectural integrity.
Blue Slate Repairs
Comprehensive repair and maintenance of Blue Slate roofs using reclaimed Welsh slates. We inspect for fractures, replace damaged sections, and restore lead flashings while maintaining original roof profiles. Our approach combines centuries-old craftsmanship with modern durability assessments to extend roof lifespan beyond 100 years.
Pantile Re-tiling
Traditional clay pantile installation and restoration across Eastern England. We reuse existing tiles where possible and supplement with Arcadia pantiles for seamless integration. Our process maintains the distinctive S-shaped profile while reinforcing roof structures with tanalised timbers to meet current building standards.
Bradstone Conservation Slates
Supply and installation of Bradstone Cotswold conservation slates as heritage-compliant alternatives. We ensure planning permission compliance for listed buildings and match existing roof aesthetics using colour-matched synthetic slates. This solution preserves historical appearance while offering cost-effective longevity.
Heritage Roof Maintenance
Scheduled inspections and preventative maintenance for historic roofs. Our services include moss removal by hand, lime mortar joint repairs, and leadwork replacement. We conduct structural assessments after storm damage and provide cleaning solutions that avoid pressure-washing to prevent slate surface degradation.
