Old Farm, Swinbrook
Large-Scale Heritage Re-Roofing with Cotswold Stone Slate
At Old Farm in Swinbrook, we completed a large-scale heritage re-roofing project across the main house, stables, and barn. Covering nearly 1,900 m², this was our largest Cotswold stone slate installation to date.
Ridges and hips were set with traditional lime mortar for heritage accuracy and extra weather resistance, while discreet modern upgrades, including TLX Gold membrane and lead flashing, provided improved waterproofing and energy efficiency.
The result is a seamless renewal that preserves the estate’s historic character while delivering long-lasting performance.
The Old Rectory
Heritage Re-Roofing with Reclaimed Stone Slate
At the Old Rectory in Cirencester, we carried out a specialist heritage re-roofing project using natural Cotswold stone slates to meet conservation guidelines. To preserve the property’s historic character, every slate was carefully squared, remeasured, and installed in traditional diminishing courses. The ridges were finished with lime mortar in keeping with heritage roofing practices, and conservation rooflights were added to increase natural light while maintaining the building’s authenticity.
Bibury Court
Commercial Heritage Roofing with Reclaimed Slate
Our team completed a heritage roofing project at Bibury Court in Bibury using a combination of reclaimed stone slates and professional lead flashing. Stone slates were hand-selected and installed on the pitched elevations to complement the surrounding architecture and comply with conservation requirements, and leadwork was completed
Cotswold Stone Slate
We specialise in Cotswold stone slate roofing for heritage properties across Oxfordshire. Whether renewing original roofs or installing new ones, we use regionally sourced or reclaimed stone slates such as Cardinal and Bradstone to deliver a traditional aesthetic with modern workmanship.
Clay & Handmade Tiled Roofs
For period cottages and heritage properties with clay roofs, we provide specialist repair, restoration, and re-roofing services. We use handmade or reclaimed clay tiles to match original roofscapes, ensuring every project preserves the property’s historic charm and complies with conservation standards.
Natural Slate Roofing
Our heritage roofing team has extensive experience with traditional slate roofs, working on historic homes, listed buildings, and period properties. We carefully source slates such as Welsh, Cornish, and reclaimed natural slate to deliver roofing that blends seamlessly with older structures while offering long-lasting durability.
Heritage Roof Repairs & Maintenance
We provide careful, conservation-led repairs for heritage roofs across Oxfordshire, covering stone slate, natural slate, clay tiles, and lead. From slipped tiles and storm damage to urgent leak prevention, our 24/7 emergency call-out team is always on hand. We also offer planned maintenance to preserve the lifespan of heritage roofs.
Leadwork for Heritage Properties
Lead has been used in traditional roofing for centuries, and our certified specialists carry out leadwork to the highest standards. From lead flashings and valleys to full heritage lead roofs, we combine traditional techniques with modern expertise to provide long-lasting, conservation-approved solutions.
Guttering, Fascias, and Soffits
Guttering, fascias, and soffits are vital to protecting older buildings from water ingress. We restore or replace roofline components with materials that complement heritage properties, helping prevent damp, timber decay, and structural damage while preserving the building’s historic appearance.
