What conservation officers actually look for
Like-for-like materials (no concrete on a clay roof, no fibre cement on a slate one), traditional detailing (lead, not mortar), and a method statement showing the work won't damage historic fabric. We've worked with most Buckinghamshire conservation officers before.
Where modern shortcuts get refused
Plastic ridge ventilation, dry verge in inappropriate finishes, profiled tiles that don't match local vernacular — all common refusals. We quote on what'll actually get consented.
FAQs
Do I need consent for a full reroof?+
Yes — Listed Building Consent is required for any reroof or major repair, even like-for-like. We handle the application.
Lime mortar bedding available?+
Yes — for sensitive properties where modern cement would damage adjacent stonework, we use NHL 3.5 lime mortar.
