Listed Building Roofing in Sheffield
Sheffield has just under 1,200 listed buildings, and plenty of them are houses: Ash Mount on Ashgate Road in Broomhill, a three-storey classical terrace of around 1860, is grade II, and Hanover Square alone has 15 listed houses among the 96 listed buildings in the Hanover conservation area. Welsh slate is the covering the city’s appraisals record from Nether Edge to Ranmoor, and in Hanover slate with brick stacks and clay pots. Those same appraisals name what goes wrong — slate swapped for concrete tiles in Broomhill and Hanover, chimneys taken down, rooflights cut into front slopes. On a listed house each is a consent matter, so the specification comes first and the scaffold second.

Roofing in Sheffield
Sheffield’s housing climbs its hills in layers: stone-fronted Victorian terraces in Walkley, streets in Hillsborough still being built up until around 1909, and above them the villa suburbs of Broomhill, Ranmoor and Nether Edge — locally quarried sandstone under Welsh slate, with tall chimneys and, in Ranmoor, crested ridges and bracketed eaves. The city has 38 conservation areas and just under 1,200 listed buildings, and Article 4 directions in Nether Edge and Broomhill bring alterations that are normally permitted under planning control for the properties they name. We travel to Sheffield for Twinplas, heritage guttering and listed building roofing.
What's included in our listed buildings service
- Detailed roof condition assessments with a written report, so repairs can be planned and costed in the right order
- Like-for-like slate and tile repairs using reclaimed or exact-match materials we source ourselves
- Ridge and verge work re-bedded in lime mortar where that is what the roof was built with
- Lead work: flashings, valleys, box and parapet gutters, hopper heads and downpipes
- Cast iron, cast aluminium and timber rainwater goods to match the original
- Straight advice on whether listed building consent is needed and what the conservation officer will want to see
- Drone survey where it helps: every slope, chimney and gutter of a large or fragile roof with no scaffold and nobody walking on old slates
Priced per job after a free assessment. Listed roofs cost more than modern ones because the materials and detailing are traditional, but every figure is fixed in writing before work starts, with no deposit. See our full price guide.
