Heritage & Listed Roofs
Heritage and Grade II listed buildings require specialized conservation techniques and traditional lead craft skills. Our team has extensive experience restoring historic roofs, church spires, and landmark public buildings across London.
When You Need Heritage & Listed Roofs
Historic lead spires or cupolas showing signs of age, splitting, or water penetration. Conservation officers requiring repairs to match original period specifications. Fire or weather damage affecting historic lead roofs, such as our work at Somerset House. Routine maintenance needed on 18th or 19th-century architectural metalwork.
How We Do It
We consult on design advice and heritage specifications to respect the architectural integrity of the building. We source correct BS EN 12588 lead grades matching historical thicknesses and profiles. We employ traditional bossing, casting, and welding techniques in accordance with BS6915 standards. We document our process and coordinate with conservation officers or main contractors as required.
What to Expect
Project timelines vary from one week for specific spire or cupola repairs to several weeks for full building re-leading.
