Roofing in Oundle
Oundle is limestone country. Collyweston slate and natural slate on steep pitches, thick stone walls, and stone mullions and copings that shed water in a way that modern detailing does not. When these roofs leak it is rarely the slate. It is the lead in the valley, the mortar torching underneath, or a peg that has finally given up after a century.
Because so much of the town is protected, the answer is nearly always to repair rather than replace. Salvaged slate, lime mortar and new lead where the old lead has fatigued. It is slower work and it needs the right materials on site, but a stone roof that is looked after will go on for generations.
Our yard is on Crowland Road, Peterborough, about 15 miles away, so getting to Oundle is a short run for us.

Tiles and ridges put rightWherever we can. Reclaimed matches the roof you already have, and on a conservation street that matters. We keep new slate for the elevations nobody sees.
Not always. Old roofs settle and a gentle dip is often just age. A sudden change, a cracked ceiling or a door that will not shut is different and needs looking at properly before anyone touches the covering.
For like for like repairs usually not. For anything that changes the material or the appearance in a conservation area you will, and we quote it so it matches what the council is likely to accept.
Ring Stanley and describe what the roof is doing. He will tell you straight whether it needs a repair, a section replacing, or nothing at all yet.
