Exceptional qualities
Restoration before unnecessary replacement
We restore original roofing features wherever practical, avoiding unnecessary replacement.
Experience with period roofing details
Our 27 years of experience cover traditional slate, tile, leadwork and chimney details.
Careful restoration for older properties
Heritage restorations need a careful hand, especially when age, weather and past repairs have left a roof looking tired or vulnerable. We restore period and historic roofing with close attention to slate, tile, lead flashing and chimney details, keeping the original look intact wherever possible. Our work balances traditional character with the kind of weather protection you need from a roof that still has a job to do every single day. We also work with listed buildings and traditional materials, using established techniques where they are appropriate to the property's age and construction.
Older homes often need more than a quick patch because one failed detail can let water creep into timbers, plaster and brickwork. We bring years of roofing and building experience to each project, and JTS Roofing & Building Ltd is known for specialist leadwork on heritage properties. If your home has a period roof that needs proper care, we're ready to talk through what should be repaired, restored or replaced.
Our reviews
The experience with you was great. The work was completed extremely professionally and on time. The chimney was an old one in a very poor state of repair, which now looks as good as new. The cost was also very reasonable, and I would definitely recommend anyone who needs work done on their chimney to get in touch with JTS Roofing & Building Ltd.
Would highly recommend JTS Roofing & Building Ltd. Very reliable; work was completed quickly with no disruption. When scaffolding went up, unfortunately, I was unable to get a satellite signal; Jay arranged to have the satellite dish moved for me while work went on. So happy with my new roof, and the price was very competitive.
What sympathetic restoration really means
Our approach starts with the features that give an older property its identity, not with a rush to strip everything back. We repair or renew damaged sections in a way that respects original materials, roof lines and visible details such as stepped flashing and chimney work. Lime mortar pointing can help maintain the breathability and traditional appearance of older brick and stonework, while careful repairs to weathered chimney stacks help preserve their character.
We can also restore aged timber features and decorative details, recreating elements such as bargeboards and fascias where required. Leadwork matters here because poorly formed joints or wrong materials can spoil the look and shorten the life of the roof. JTS Roofing & Building Ltd carry out restoration work with a focus on keeping period homes looking right from the street as well as staying sound in bad weather.
