Hillsborough is one of the most attractive villages in Northern Ireland. Its sloping Main Street, the Square and the streets around Hillsborough Castle are lined with Georgian and early Victorian buildings, many of them listed or sitting within the conservation area. Their roofs are a key part of that look, with natural slate, decorative ridges, tall chimney stacks and traditional lead work.

Working on these roofs takes specialist knowledge. Slates often need to be matched in size, thickness and colour, and repairs should be carried out using traditional techniques and materials that suit the age of the building. In a conservation area, replacing original features with modern alternatives can require consent, so it pays to use a roofer who understands what is appropriate.

Chimney repairs and repointing are particularly common here. Many Georgian homes have large multi-flue stacks that have taken the brunt of wind and rain for two hundred years. Lime mortar wears away, pots crack and flashings fail. A careful repoint with a suitable lime mortar and new lead flashing keeps damp out while preserving the original appearance.

Newer homes on the edges of the village tend to need simpler work, such as gutter cleaning, fascia replacement and moss treatment. Whatever you need, send us a WhatsApp with your address area and a description, and we will connect you with a local roofer suited to the job.
