Morton, in the DE55 postcode, is a rural village out toward the open country on the Alfreton side of our patch, and the stock is older stone property and farm buildings. That makes it firmly traditional-materials territory — lime mortar so the stone breathes, proper code lead at the junctions, and slating done the right way.
The stone property in Morton needs pointing in lime — hard cement traps moisture and spalls the stone faces — and the flashings at chimneys and abutments need to be code lead dressed properly, not mortar fillets that crack and fail. The older pitched roofs carry slate into nail fatigue where the fixings have rusted, and the farm buildings bring their own range of slate, tile and leadwork needs.
We cover Morton with the full trade, with the emphasis on the traditional end — repointing in lime, chimney work, leadwork and slating — done with the materials the village was built with. Free written quotes, the job finished before we move on, and a proper look at the fabric before any quote.

Learn MoreCommon Roof Problems in Morton
Morton's problems are the problems of older stone property. The pointing is the constant — lime mortar joints that have taken generations of freeze-thaw are crumbling, and where hard cement has been patched in over the years it's spalling the stone faces, doing more harm than the weather. The right fix is lime mortar, which breathes and flexes with the building.
The chimneys on the stone property take the weather and fail at perished pointing and failed flashings, and the redundant flues soak water into the brickwork. The lead flashings at abutments, where they've been done in mortar fillets, have cracked and let water behind. The slate on the older pitched roofs is into nail fatigue — fixings rusted through, slates sliding. The farm buildings bring slate, tile and leadwork in various states of age. Across Morton the answer is traditional materials — lime, code lead, matching slate — done properly so the older fabric lasts. That's the work we do here.
