Heritage Roofing in Ludgershall, Wiltshire

Owning a home in a conservation area comes with its own unique set of responsibilities, doesn't it? You can't just slap on some modern concrete tiles and call it a day. We specialise in navigating those tricky planning requirements, ensuring every repair or replacement respects the building's original character. We use time-honoured techniques—like working with lime mortar to let your chimney breathe—rather than taking shortcuts with modern materials that might cause damp issues down the line. It’s about more than just fixing a leak; it’s about preserving a piece of Wiltshire’s heritage for years to come.

Why settle for "close enough" when you can have the real deal? For our projects around Ludgershall and the wider Wiltshire area, we source the very best materials to match your home’s existing aesthetic. Our expertise includes: Natural Slate: We work with Welsh Blue, Cornish, and even reclaimed slates to ensure a seamless match.Handmade Clay & Peg Tiles: Perfect for those characterful, undulating rooflines common in older properties.Stone Tiling: Essential for the classic Cotswold-style look found in our rural villages.Leadwork: From valleys to intricate chimney flashings, our leadwork specialists dress every sheet by hand for a perfectly watertight finish.

Have you noticed damp patches appearing near your chimney breast lately? Often, the culprit is failing leadwork or crumbling mortar on an old stack. On a heritage property, the lead isn't just functional—it's a craft. Our team doesn't just "patch" things up; we provide expert lead dressing and bossing that stands the test of time. We also take care of chimney restoration, repointing with traditional lime mortar that moves with the building. It prevents the brickwork from cracking and keeps the rain out of your living room, all while looking exactly as it did a hundred years ago.

One of the biggest worries with an older roof is that walking on it might do more harm than good. Those old peg tiles can be incredibly brittle underfoot. That’s why we offer drone roof surveys across Ludgershall and the surrounding 25-mile radius. We can get crystal-clear, high-resolution footage of your roof’s condition without ever setting foot on a ladder. It’s faster, safer, and means we can show you exactly where the problems are—like a hidden valley leak or a loose ridge tile—on a screen before we even start the work. It’s modern technology serving traditional architecture.
