Services
Stone Slate Roofing
Our stone slate roofing specialises in Cotswold, Collyweston, and Hamstone materials, requiring precise detailing for historic and new builds. Five dedicated team members ensure technical expertise, with planning support from slate sourcing to leadwork specifications. Traditional methods are combined with modern battens for durable, authentic results.
Natural Slate Roofing
We work with Welsh, Delabole, and Spanish natural slate, offering double-lap coverings for longevity. Our team collaborates with architects to develop specifications, ensuring watertight roofs. PV solar slates integrate seamlessly with traditional materials for modern energy efficiency.
Clay Plain Tiling
Clay plain tiling includes hand-made and machine-made options, providing water-tight double-lap coverings. With expertise since 1969, we advise on specifications for residential and historic properties, ensuring compliance with traditional aesthetics and modern standards.
Leadwork Services
Our Heritage Gold Card-certified craftsmen supply and install milled lead sheeting, flashings, and custom features like hopper heads. All work follows Lead Sheet Association guidelines, with sand-cast lead recycling for sustainable solutions.
Sand Cast Lead Manufacturing
Since 2007, weve produced Code 610 sand-cast lead using a 7m automated table. Damaged lead is recycled and recast, reducing waste. This method supports bespoke projects, including downpipes and flat roofs, while maintaining compliance with heritage standards.
