Listed Country House Repairs

Slate repairs on a property require careful attention to both functionality and aesthetic to preserve the building's character and weatherproofing. Our approach begins with a thorough inspection to identify slipped, cracked or delaminated slates, degraded nails, and any underlying timber or flashing damage; we then match replacement slates by size, colour and thickness to maintain a consistent appearance across the roof. Re-fixing is carried out using stainless steel or copper nails and traditional methods where appropriate, with careful use of leadwork and modern breathable underlays installed to ensure long-term protection against water ingress while allowing the roof to breathe. Where heritage guidelines apply, we source and use reclaimed or natural slate to retain historical authenticity, and all repairs are finished neatly with secure ridge, hip and verge details designed to withstand the local climate. A clear, written estimate and prioritized recommendations for ongoing maintenance are provided so the roof continues performing well for years to come.
