Traditional materials first
Historic roofs should be assessed for reusable slate, appropriate lead details, breathable mortar and the effect of any modern repair materials.

Heritage Roof Surveys
Heritage roof surveys for historic buildings, listed building roof inspections and conservation repair planning.
Conservation-sensitive approach
Heritage Roof Surveys belong to the heritage roofing pillar and prioritise building fabric, weatherproofing and sympathetic repair methods.
The page links back to the heritage hub and across to surveys, slate roofing, leadwork and relevant Scottish location pages.
Survey before specification
A heritage survey records visible defects, weathering, access risks and priority repairs so the scope is clear before work begins.
