This is because there are planning and listed building rules that regulate what you can and can\u2019t do. It\u2019s important to follow these rules \u2013 they\u2019re there to preserve the historical quality of your property. Plus, there are expensive penalties in place if you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>There are different things that you need to do when you\u2019re working on the covering, external features and structure of your roof. To give you a hand, we\u2019ve put together some information on how to repair the roof of a listed building.<\/p>\n<h3>Roof covering<\/h3>\n<p>The roof covering is the visible layer of materials on the top of your roof. On listed properties, the roof covering is usually slate, clay tiles or thatch.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to repair sections of your roof, you might not need listed building consent if you use matching materials or the same thatching method. However, it\u2019s worth checking with your local authority first.<\/p>\n<p>Replacing your roof\u2019s covering without damaging the rest of the roof can be an expensive and time-consuming job. So make sure it\u2019s necessary before you get started. If your roof is leaking then it could be due to slipped tiles or damaged flashing and might not require you replacing the whole covering. So get a surveyor or roofing specialist in first to give you some advice.<\/p>\n<h3>External features<\/h3>\n<p>External roof features are things like chimneys, ridges and decorative finials. It\u2019s really important to preserve these as they\u2019re an integral part of your home\u2019s character. So you should keep any chimneys even if they\u2019re no longer in use. And if you\u2019re getting any roofing work done, make sure that ridges and finials are taken down carefully beforehand and re-fixed afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-723 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/shutterstock_725646085-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/231;\" \/>If any of your external roof features are damaged, you\u2019ll probably need to repair them with similar materials if you can. However, you may also be allowed to replace them, depending on the extent of the damage. Contact your local authority to find out what you\u2019ll need to do.<\/p>\n<h3>Roof structure<\/h3>\n<p>The roof structure creates the shape of your roof and supports the roof covering. The roof structure is often a really important historical part of a period property, as it\u2019s evidence of its age. Old roof timbers also often have unique carved detailing, which makes them historically valuable.<\/p>\n<p>If your roof structure is damaged or deteriorating, you should aim to repair it rather than replace it. Fitting new battens to support a new roof covering is fairly usual, but you should always try to repair all other parts of your roof structure. A specialised joiner should be able to help you with this and, if in doubt, get advice from your local authority.<\/p>\n<p>How much is a new roof? The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/roofing-price-guide\/\">cost of a new roof<\/a> depends on the material needs and the work required, however getting the work done early will save you money over the longer term.<\/p>\n<p>Now you should know a bit more about how to repair the roof of a listed building. If you want to get in touch with your local authority but aren\u2019t sure who they are, you can enter your postcode <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/find-local-council\">here<\/a>. And remember that whenever you hire a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/tradesmen-directory\/roofing-7Z\">qualified local roofer<\/a> to help you with your roof, make sure that they specialise in the type of roof you have, or at least listed buildings. This will help to ensure that you get the best possible work and advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doing repair work on the roof of a listed building can be a tricky task.
