Specialist Care for Period Properties & Protected Structures.Specialist Care for Period Properties & Protected Structures.

Are you looking for a specialist for a listed building in South Wales? We provide comprehensive heritage restoration services that extend far beyond slate. From Grade I and II listed manor houses to traditional stone cottages, our team delivers sympathetic repairs and full-scale restorations. We specialise in using period-correct materials and traditional craftsmanship to ensure your property’s historical integrity is preserved for the next generation.

Preserving the Fabric of Welsh History.

We understand that a historic roof is more than just its outer layer. In heritage-rich areas like Neath, the Vale of Glamorgan, and Carmarthenshire, listed buildings require a delicate touch and a deep understanding of ancient building techniques. Our expertise covers the entire structural envelope, ensuring that every repair is “like-for-like” and compliant with local conservation standards.

Restoring a listed building involves a specific set of skills that modern roofing often overlooks. Whether it’s sourcing reclaimed clay tiles to match an existing patina or repairing 200-year-old oak rafters, our “time-served” master craftsmen apply the patience and precision these buildings deserve. We don’t just fix problems; we respect the soul of the structure.

Traditional Timber Frame Repair

The skeleton of your heritage home. We specialise in the consolidation and repair of historic roof timbers, using traditional joinery and seasoned oak to strengthen structures without losing their original character.

Heritage Clay & Stone Tiling

Authentic regional aesthetics. Beyond Welsh slate, we work with handmade clay tiles and Cotswold stone, ensuring that your roof matches the specific geological and architectural style of its local area.

Traditional Lime & Chimney

Breathable, historic masonry. We use traditional lime mortars for repointing chimney stacks and bedding ridge tiles, preventing the moisture traps caused by modern cement and allowing old stone to “breathe.”
