St Giles Church Goodrich

St Giles Church in Goodrich is a Grade I listed building with origins dating back to the 13th century. The church is renowned for its medieval architecture and historic features, including fine stonework and original stained glass windows. Its slate roof, a key element in protecting this heritage structure, has recently undergone essential repairs to preserve its integrity and prevent water ingress.

The roof repair project included the careful removal and replacement of damaged slates, ensuring that the replacement materials matched the original as closely as possible. Leadwork around the tower and gutters was inspected and renewed where necessary to maintain weatherproofing. Lime mortar pointing on certain sections was also restored, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship required for such traditional roofing methods.

These repairs were carried out with respect for the church’s architectural significance, using historically accurate techniques and materials. The work ensures that St Giles Church remains protected from the elements, preserving its structural soundness and historical character for future generations. Heritage Roofing Contractors Ltd is proud to have contributed their expertise to the maintenance of this important local landmark.
