Britain is famously known to own some of the oldest housing in the world. With Britain’s vast mass of countryside the is many thousands of listed buildings and graded buildings too such as churches, manor homes, closed factories, mills, farmhouses, civic buildings, cottages and old country buildings. Many of these remain under restrictive roofing convenants and must remain in their original style and context when repairing or renovating any aspects including their roofs.

‘Heritage roofing can be defined as roof covering works carried out with traditional materials and workmanship to buildings which have an historic value. This is as opposed to modern materials and workmanship used with current building practices.’ (a google search result carried out by us on Febuary 2015.)
All buildings built before 1700 which survive in anything like their original condition are listed, as are most of those built between 1700 and 1840. Particularly careful selection is required for buildings from the period after 1945. A building has normally to be over 30 years old to be eligible for listing. http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/caring/listing/listed-buildings/
