Working on historic and period properties requires far more than simply replacing a roof. It demands an understanding of traditional construction methods, historic materials and the responsibility of preserving a building's character for future generations. At Gunn Roofing Co, we specialise in carrying out sympathetic roofing works that respect the architectural integrity of a property while ensuring it remains protected for years to come.

Our experience spans a wide range of heritage and period buildings, from listed properties and conservation area homes to historic farmhouses and country residences. We work closely with homeowners, architects and conservation professionals to ensure every project is approached with the care and attention it deserves.

Our work includes:

  • Heritage roofing repairs and restoration
  • Listed and period property roofing
  • Conservation roofing projects
  • Traditional clay tile and slate roofing

  • Leadwork restoration and renewal
  • Decorative tile hanging
  • Chimney restoration and repairs
  • Sympathetic roof refurbishments

 

A recent example of our work can be seen at Cowbridge Farm, where we completed extensive leadwork and roofing works to a historic property. The project required a careful balance between traditional detailing, modern performance requirements and preserving the character of the building, ensuring the finished result remained true to the property's heritage.

Every heritage project is approached with the same philosophy: to preserve what makes a building special while delivering workmanship of the highest standard and ensuring its long-term future.

  • Jimmy and his team completed two jobs for me, the tiled roof repair was renewing some tiles and cement at the very top of my roof. The other was a total renewal of my flat roof. Both of the jobs were completed to a high standard. Jimmy and his team were very friendly and always kept me informed and were always on time. Very happy with the work and will definitely be recommending.
  • The hand finishing and fine detailed work was carried out to the highest standards . They have pride in their profession and it shows.
  • Firstly, communication and reliability were excellent. The work was completed to a very high standard and very reasonably priced. I would not hesitate to recommend Jimmy to anyone - a first class job, thank you!
  • Jimmy and Lewis recently completed our roof in Westcliff. It was a entire roof refurb, new felt, battern, tiles etc. Jimmy was very professional from the get go, popping round a couple of times and calling us to ensure we was aware of the process + tying in with the carpenter we had who was doing building works to the dormer. We’ve had terrible weather and rain since the works started and they have come round on there weekends to get the job finished for us. We are both so pleased with the quality of works done and will be recommending them to anyone needing a roof or repair!
  • Jimmy was professional, reliable and friendly. Jimmy also popped round before the works were due to help stop the rainwater coming any further into the house. He was super efficient and we were really happy with the work carried out. He kept us informed throughout the job. We would highly recommend Jimmy and will book him again for any future jobs we need.
  • I contacted Jimmy and he listened carefully to my requirement to help me with an estimation cost of repair of the roof based on my building survey report as I'm purchasing a house. Jimmy reviewed the report and provided me with an accurate, free estimation quote on time and he answered promptly to all my questions. Jimmy is very professional and I recommend him.
  • Following recent storms I needed replacement roof tiles hip and ridge tiles. These were replaced. Very professional and the work was carried out to a high standard.
