Stone Slate Roofing
Our specialist stone slate roofing service focuses on Cotswold, Collyweston, and Hamstone slates. We combine traditional hand-cut techniques with modern battens for durable, authentic results. Our five dedicated stone slate teams ensure precision in tile selection and laying patterns for both restorations and new builds.
Natural Slate Roofing
We work with Welsh, Delabole, Westmorland, and Spanish natural slates for double-lap roof coverings. Our expertise includes detailed specification work and seamless integration of PV solar slates. Each project receives thorough planning to guarantee watertight, long-lasting results.
Leadwork Services
Our certified craftsmen provide comprehensive leadwork solutions including flashings, downpipes, and decorative rainwater goods. We maintain strict compliance with Lead Sheet Association standards and offer sustainable recycling through our sand-cast lead facility.
Sand-Cast Lead Manufacturing
Since 2007, we've operated the UK's only dedicated sand-cast lead production facility. Using a 7-metre casting table, we produce Code 6-10 lead sheets from recycled materials, enabling sustainable replacements for historic leadwork requirements.
Clay Plain Tiling
We install and repair hand-made and machine-made clay plain tiles using traditional double-lap methods. Our expertise ensures watertight, durable coverings suitable for both heritage restorations and modern residential properties across the South West.
