S&J was selected to undertake a specialised roofing renovation on a historic property in the picturesque area of Bradford on Avon.
This project focused on renewing the front and rear flashings and performing intricate copping stone works, ensuring both the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the property.
Scope of Work:
Front and Rear Flashing Renewals:
– Our team began by carefully removing the existing worn-out flashings from both the front and rear sections of the roof. We replaced them with high-grade lead flashings, expertly installed to provide optimal waterproofing and durability. The new flashings were chased into the stonework and re-jointed, ensuring a secure and long-lasting fit that blends seamlessly with the historic character of the property.
Copping Stone Works
The copping stones, essential for protecting the parapet walls from water penetration, were in need of attention. We expertly lifted and reset the existing copping stones, addressing any underlying issues with the mortar bed. Damaged or deteriorated stones were replaced with carefully selected matching stones to maintain the architectural integrity of the building. Our skilled craftsmen ensured that the copping stones were securely bedded and pointed, providing both functional protection and a refined finish.
Challenges & Solutions
Historical Sensitivity: Working on a historic property required a delicate approach to preserve its original charm. Our team employed traditional techniques and materials that were in keeping with the building’s historical context, ensuring that the renovations did not compromise its heritage value.
– Weather Considerations: Given the unpredictable weather in Bradford on Avon, we implemented weatherproofing measures throughout the project to protect the exposed areas during the renovation process. This ensured that the property remained safeguarded against any potential water damage.

Mark Ducker2024-06-06Over the past year, S&J Roofing has undertaken a significant amount of work for me including: building and installing an internal valley, refurbushing and releading the valley, installing new guttering and painting the rear of the property. Throughout, the whole team have been excellent, from the owner Lee through to the efficient and responsive office team.

They even were able to speed up my install as water was leaking into our little girls room. Will be a returning customer for sure.Adrian Dible2024-02-27I would fully recommend S&J Roofing as a company that puts the needs of the customer first! Their initial advice was invaluable - warning me what not to do, as well as what I needed to do to satisfy the listed building requirements. They kept me updated with progress photo's throughout the project. Their office staff overseeing the works were helpful, polite and friendly, and always answered any queries promptly. It was very helpful being able to meet their owner at their showroom in Walcot Street, BATH., where he went through the whole re-roofing process showing me the products they recommended and used and their methods. Everything was clearly set out. Thank you Lee and your team!

The workers did a great job putting up fascia boards around my house, and happily dealt with a few extra minor matters on the fly without increasing the invoice from the original estimate. I recommend this family company very highly. They give proper old-fashioned service.
