Roofing work we do in Old Amersham
Old Amersham has some of the most characterful — and most demanding — roofs in south Buckinghamshire. Period properties with handmade clay tiles, original lead work, lime mortar, and roof shapes that don’t follow modern templates. We see everything here:
- Heritage tile repairs — matching and replacing handmade clay tiles on listed and period properties. We source reclaimed tiles where modern equivalents aren’t available.
- Lead flashing repairs — the older properties have extensive lead work around chimneys, dormers, bays and parapet walls. Lead cracks and lifts over decades and needs re-dressing or replacing.
- Chimney work — Old Amersham has a lot of tall, original chimney stacks. Repointing with lime mortar, flashing repairs, rebuilds of the top courses, and cowl fitting.
- Flat roof repairs — even period properties often have a flat roof tucked away on a rear extension or utility area.
- Roof surveys — properties in Old Amersham change hands at premium prices. Buyers want to know exactly what the roof condition is before committing. We provide honest, detailed written reports with photos.
Conservation and listed buildings
Several properties along the High Street and surrounding lanes are listed or within the Old Amersham conservation area. We understand the constraints:
- We use lime mortar rather than cement on period brickwork and pointing — it’s more breathable, more sympathetic, and usually a condition of listed building consent.
- We match existing materials — handmade clay tiles, natural slate, cast lead — rather than substituting modern equivalents that would look wrong.
- We can work with your conservation officer if planning or listed building consent is needed for the repair.
