Roofing in Hanbury, Worcestershire

Hanbury is a Worcestershire village set in gently rolling farmland east of Droitwich. The village is perhaps best known as the home of Hanbury Hall, a fine early 18th-century house in the care of the National Trust, complete with formal gardens, an orangery and a painted ceiling by Sir James Thornhill. The hall sits in its own parkland, but the village itself has a genuine and attractive collection of traditional Worcestershire estate cottages, farmhouses and agricultural buildings surrounding the Church of St Mary the Virgin, which sits prominently on the hilltop overlooking the surrounding countryside. A scattering of more modern properties fills out the settlement, but the older stock dominates the character of the place.

The estate and farming character of Hanbury means that the older buildings tend to have clay plain tile roofs with original chimney stacks and lead flashings — the kind of traditional Worcestershire construction that has served well for over a century but requires careful, knowledgeable maintenance. Where natural slate appears on the older farm and estate cottages it is typically Welsh slate, which can be matched accurately for patch repairs if individual slates are broken or slipped. We carry matching slates as standard and always try to carry out like-for-like repairs on this type of property rather than mixing materials. Lead valley and hip work on the older roofs in the area also needs periodic inspection, particularly where it is original and has been subject to decades of thermal movement — we check all lead joints as part of our free survey.
