We needed a new roof. Got several estimates, Booth's was the best. The day came, the scaffolding went up, no problems. Booths kept us informed and came to do the roof on the date promised. They were very methodical, tidy, and polite cleaning up at the end of each day. Mr Booth himself came to inspect the work. I was never asked to pay a penny until the job was completed to my satisfaction. They did an excellent job, which I am very pleased with. Good work, Booths.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes listed building roofing different from standard roofing projects?
-
Listed buildings are subject to strict conservation rules, meaning materials and methods must align with heritage standards. Unlike standard projects, repairs often require specialist sourcing and approval from local authorities. This ensures the building’s historic character is preserved while maintaining structural safety.
Do I need permission for listed building roof repairs?
-
Yes, most listed building roof repairs require consent from the local planning authority. This process ensures that any changes respect the property’s heritage value. Our team can guide you through the application, helping to streamline approvals and avoid unnecessary delays.
How long does a listed building roof repair usually take?
-
The timeline depends on the scale of the work and the availability of approved materials. Smaller repairs may take a few days, while full restorations can extend over several weeks. We always provide clear schedules and keep clients updated throughout the project.
Can modern insulation be added to a listed building's roof?
-
In many cases, yes, but it must be done carefully to avoid altering the building’s appearance or structure. Specialist techniques allow us to improve energy efficiency without compromising heritage features. We advise on suitable options that balance comfort with conservation, helping you enjoy a warmer, more efficient home.
What types of materials are suitable for listed building roof repairs?
-
Materials must be sympathetic to the building’s age and style, often including natural slate, handmade clay tiles, or leadwork. We carefully match replacements to existing structures to maintain authenticity. Where modern alternatives are permitted, we select those that provide durability without compromising appearance.
