What's under a 156-year-old roof? 👀

We've just re-roofed this converted church hall near Newent, and under the handmade clay tiles was a proper bit of history:

• The original lath and plaster ceiling. Thin strips of wood (laths) with lime plaster pushed through the gaps so it grips them. Back then, horsehair was mixed into the plaster to bind it.
• A layer of horsehair laid over the top as insulation, long before loft rolls were a thing.

We kept the old ceiling and put modern insulation and a breathable membrane over it. Then the original tiles went back on, so it keeps all its character. The bell's still up in the bell-cote too 🔔

Second photo's mid-job with the old tiles stacked ready to go back on. Third is the horsehair.

One from the archives 🚂

The old Barbers Bridge railway station near Gloucester. It opened in 1885 on the Gloucester to Ledbury line, and the last passenger train came through in 1959.

Off with the old: tired, mossy tiles that had done their time.
On with the new: Dreadnought clay tiles in bands of red and blue, with ornamental courses running right through.

Full reroof on a farm near Coleford — main roof, lean-tos, porch and the annexe.

Stripped back and relaid in Westerland Graphite fibre-cement, copper-fixed, with EasySlate on the lower pitches. New membranes throughout, clay vented ridges, fresh leadwork to the chimney and lean-tos, and the old Rayburn flue taken out. Solar hooks went in as we worked so nobody’s drilling this roof later.

Black woodgrain fascias and bargeboards on the main house, black gutters where we renewed them, eaves trays in.

15-year workmanship guarantee on top of the membrane manufacturer’s own.

Staunton. Chartist bungalow, c.1847 — lean-to re-slated.

Shallow pitch, so easy-slate between every slate.
Old natural slate off, new Spanish A1 T1 S1 on.
Counter-battened for airflow between felt and insulation.
Lead detail at the change of pitch. New welded front apron. Gutter raised.

Small roof. No shortcuts.

Another one bites the dust. 🎵

Shallow pitch, big problem — sorted.

This roof was laid in cement fibre slates at just 13°, and it had been fighting a losing battle: water tracking back under the slates and condensation trapped behind them with nowhere to go.

Full strip and reroof using an easy-slate system rated for the low pitch, on a non-breathable membrane. Ventilation was the other half of the fix — over-fascia vents at the eaves and hand-made lead slate vents higher up, so air can move through and wick the moisture away instead of sitting there rotting the timbers.

Right system, right pitch, right airflow. No more leaks, no more damp.

Three plumbers, signing their work into the sheet before they dressed it down. One of them stood on that roof 168 years ago. The lead and the Welsh slate are still doing their job today.

That’s the thing about traditional materials laid properly — they outlive everybody who touched them. It’s why we still work the old way on heritage and period roofs: natural slate, Cotswold stone, handmade clay tiles and lead to LSA specification.

Heritage chimney restoration on a Grade II listed cottage dating back to the 1600s.

The stack was in poor condition — repointed with hard cement in the 80s, which traps moisture and slowly destroys soft handmade brick. We stripped it back and rebuilt it the right way: reclaimed handmade bricks, a reclaimed terracotta pot, and a full lime mortar repoint, with a top and bottom vent so the chimney can breathe again.

We also took out the old log burner and flue liner and fitted an ECOSY+ Pure Bio stove.

The chimney now breathes as it should — and no longer leaks.

Before and after on this week’s flat roof.

The old covering on this commercial office block had reached the end of its life — weathered, flaking and starting to let water in. Rather than strip it all off, we overlaid it with a fibreglass-reinforced polyurethane system: a tough resin base, glass matting bedded in for strength, then a seamless, joint-free topcoat over the lot. No felt laps to fail, no seams to lift — a fully bonded roof that flexes with the building and should keep the weather out for decades.

It’s the latest piece of work we’ve carried out on this roof over the last few years. We’ve also rebuilt the box gutter running through the slate roof, re-roofed the slate pitches above it with traditional lead mopstick ridge details, and laid the two other GRP flat roofs that the box gutter discharges into. Old slate, lead and modern liquid systems all working together to keep one awkward roof watertight.

Oh and the drone decided to switch off whilst flying 20m in the air above a patio, so that’s out of action for a little while

Roof renovation complete at Bangkok Canteen on Westgate Street, in the heart of historic Gloucester. 🏠

New Marley Hawkins clay tiles in Fired Sienna, all box gutters fibreglassed, lime mortar throughout, and the front chimney repointed and made safe — all in keeping with this beautiful old building.
