Roofers in Old Brampton — Rural Stone Cottages and Listed Property

Old Brampton, in the S42 postcode, is a rural village of period stone cottages and listed property, and that makes it firmly traditional-materials territory. The work here is about doing right by older fabric — lime mortar so the stone breathes, proper code lead at the junctions, chimney stacks repaired in keeping, and slate matched where it's needed.

Listed and period property like Old Brampton's can't be treated with the same approach as a post-war semi. Hard cement pointing traps moisture and spalls the stone faces; mortar fillets at the junctions crack and fail where code lead would last a lifetime; and the chimney stacks, taking the weather for two centuries, need repointing and re-flaunching in the right materials. The conservation character of the village means every repair has to be in keeping.

We cover Old Brampton 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.
