Heritage Roofing in Dursley, Gloucestershire

If you're lucky enough to live in a Grade I or II listed building, you'll know all about the strict rules that come with repairs. Most homeowners we speak to are worried about finding a contractor who won't upset the local planning office. We understand the importance of sympathetic restoration, which is why we always use the right materials for the job. Whether it's sourcing authentic Cotswold stone tiles, reclaimed natural slate, or traditional clay peg tiles, we make sure the new work blends seamlessly with the old. We also use lime mortar for repointing rather than modern cement. Why? Because old buildings need to 'breathe,' and using the wrong materials can actually trap moisture and cause damage to the stone over time. It's these little details that make the difference between a quick fix and a proper restoration.

Have you ever looked closely at the 'silver' bits around your chimney or in the roof valleys? That's the leadwork, and in heritage roofing, it's the ultimate line of defence against the Great British weather. Our team are specialists in traditional lead bossing and dressing, ensuring every joint is watertight while looking exactly as it should. We often find that on older Gloucestershire properties, the lead has simply reached the end of its life, or the chimney stacks need a bit of love. From repointing the brickwork to rebuilding entire stacks, we'll make sure your roof's highest points are as secure as the rest of the house. It's about giving you that peace of mind that next time a storm rolls over the hills, your home will stay perfectly dry.

One of the biggest headaches with older roofs is their fragility. Sometimes, just walking across a set of ancient tiles to find a leak can cause more cracked slates than you started with. To solve this, we use high-resolution drone surveys to get a bird's-eye view of your property. It's a non-invasive way for us to spot slipped slates or blocked gutters without even setting foot on a ladder. We can then show you the footage, so you see exactly what we see. It’s transparent, it’s safe, and it saves you money on unnecessary scaffolding just for an initial look. Whether you're in the heart of Dursley, out towards Stroud, or anywhere within 25 miles, we can get a clear picture of your roof's health in no time at all.
