Heritage Roofing in Lechlade-On-Thames, Gloucestershire

Dealing with Grade I or Grade II listed properties can feel a bit daunting, can't it? There are conservation rules to follow and historical standards to meet. We're here to take that weight off your shoulders. Our team specialises in listed building repairs, ensuring every bit of work we do complies with local planning requirements. We don't believe in shortcuts. Instead, we use time-honoured techniques like lime mortar repointing, which allows your masonry to 'breathe' properly, preventing the damp issues that modern cement can cause in older structures. It's about preserving the past while protecting your future.

There's nothing quite like the look of traditional stone tiling, but it's a specialised craft that's becoming harder to find. If your roof is starting to show its age, you might have noticed slipped slates or tiles that have weathered away over the decades. We're experts in sourcing and laying natural slate, including Welsh Blue and reclaimed materials that match your existing roof perfectly. Whether you need a small patch-up or a full heritage roof restoration, we make sure the graduation of the stones and the weight of the structure are handled with absolute precision. After all, a Cotswold roof should last a lifetime if it's done right.

Lead is one of the most durable materials available for a roof, but it requires a real craftsman to install it correctly. Have you ever looked up at your chimney or the valleys of your roof and wondered why they're leaking? Often, it's because the leadwork has cracked or wasn't dressed properly in the first place. Our leadwork specialists handle everything from simple flashings to complex decorative bossing. We treat every project with the respect it deserves, ensuring your period property restoration remains watertight for generations to come. It’s that extra level of detail that gives you real peace of mind when the storms roll in across the Thames.

A crumbling chimney stack isn't just an eyesore; it can be a real safety risk. We offer complete chimney services, from careful repointing with traditional lime mortar to complete rebuilds that match the original brickwork or stone of your Lechlade home. While we're up there, we can also look at your roofline. We install conservation rooflights that sit flush with your tiles, giving you modern light without spoiling the historic aesthetic. If your gutters are struggling, we can fit systems that protect your masonry without looking out of place. It's all about keeping that all-important curb appeal while ensuring your home is structurally sound.
