Medieval roofing refers to traditional roofing methods and materials used during the medieval period, typically from the 5th to the 15th century. These roofs were often constructed using natural materials such as stone slate, clay tiles, wooden shingles and thatch. Skilled craftsmen used techniques that ensured durability and weather resistance, many of which are still employed in heritage roofing today.
At West Country Tiling, we specialise in restoring and maintaining medieval-style roofs, particularly on historic and ecclesiastical buildings. Our expertise includes working with materials such as stone slates and traditional clay tiles, ensuring authenticity while meeting modern conservation standards.
