Heritage Roofing in Bath, Bath and North East Somerset

Have you ever noticed a slipped slate or a bit of crumbling mortar and worried about who to call? It’s a common concern for homeowners in Bath and North East Somerset. You need someone who understands that you can’t just slap modern cement onto an 18th-century chimney stack. We specialise in sympathetic restoration, meaning we use traditional materials like lime mortar that allow these old buildings to 'breathe'. Whether you’re living in a Grade I or II listed building or a home within one of Bath’s many conservation areas, we make sure every repair looks like it’s always been there. We’ll source reclaimed Welsh Blue slate or handmade clay peg tiles to ensure the character of your home remains perfectly intact.

Lead is the unsung hero of many a Bath roof. It’s what keeps the water out of those tricky valleys, chimney flashings, and ornate flat sections. If it isn't installed with the right bossing and dressing techniques, it’ll eventually fail, leading to those dreaded damp patches on your ceiling. Our team are specialist leadworkers who treat the craft with the patience it deserves. We don’t cut corners because we know that a well-installed lead roof can last a century or more. Most people we chat to are surprised at how much of a difference proper leadwork makes to the 'curb appeal' of their property, but more importantly, it gives you that total peace of mind when the Somerset rain starts lashing down.

Ever wondered what’s actually happening up on those high, hard-to-reach parapets? Inspecting a heritage roof can be a bit of a headache, especially when you don't want to risk damage by clambering over fragile old slates. That’s why we use high-resolution drone surveys. It’s a non-invasive way for us to get a crystal-clear look at every nook and cranny of your roof without needing expensive scaffolding just for a look-see. We’ll show you the footage ourselves, so you can see exactly what we see. Whether it’s a blocked industrial gutter or a loose ridge tile, we’ll diagnose the issue quickly and honestly, saving you time and potentially a lot of money in the long run.
