We have specialist experience of listed building roof work in the Lake District and North Lancashire.
The roof and its underlying structure are some of the most important features of a listed building and many have survived for hundreds of years.
We do everything we can to repair rather than replace and use salvaged and reclaimed materials or natural alternatives.
Consent isn't usually needed if matching materials are used to complete a like for like repair, but any alteration to the roof's shape, height and pitch, internal structure or type of covering will require Listed Building Consent, as will the addition of rooflights.

By salvaging what we can of the existing slate, and supplementing with carefully sourced used slate which matches the original, we can produce a beautiful and durable roof which matches the existing character of the building.
When applicable, the rebuilt roof will last for many more years, and the cost can be kept down.
We always use the highest quality materials to ensure a quality finish and long life.

We can use lead cladding as an alternative to tiles, PVC panelling or oak cladding and it has the benefit of durability - giving year round protection and remaining corrosion free when professionally installed and treated.
It is a really good option for vertical panelling.
We've installed lead cladding around dormer windows, to fascias and cornice work and can work on pitched and vertical surfaces.
Lead capping and cornices are most often used for historic or listed buildings but it is a fantastic option to consider for any project due to its durability and longevity - outlasting concrete, stone, and membrane.
