Roofing, lead & slate conservation

If you have a project in mind, or want to speak with a member of our team - please get in touch.

The roof is one of the most critical elements of any historic building — yet often one of the most neglected. Over time, slate slippage, lead deterioration, and structural movement can all allow water ingress, accelerating damage to timber, plaster, and masonry beneath. At Maydencroft, we offer specialist heritage roofing services that protect your building while preserving its unique character.

We undertake both reactive and planned roof repairs, combining traditional skills with the highest conservation standards. Our experienced craftspeople work with original materials wherever possible and replicate historic methods, whether restoring a Georgian slate roof, repairing a clay tile pitch, or relaying historic lead valleys.

Our roofing and leadwork services include:

• Roof condition surveys and drone inspections
• Slate, tile, and clay pan tile repairs or full re-roofing
• Heritage leadwork including flashings, valleys, and box gutters
• Chimney stack repairs and repointing
• Gutter and drainage repairs
• Thatch assessment and repair

We ensure all works are breathable, watertight, and in keeping with the age and style of the building. Whether stabilising a fragile 18th century roof or correcting years of patch repairs, we help secure your building’s future — from the top down.
