Get a quote →The By Brook valley creates high humidity and heavy tree canopy — moss growth rates are among the fastest in our Wiltshire coverage, and lead corrosion is accelerated by valley moisture.

Box's Bath stone built environment defines its roofing repair needs. The village's period properties require material-appropriate repair throughout — clay plain tile or stone slate, lime mortar on all masonry, code 4 lead on valleys and flashings. The By Brook valley's moisture retention means lead deterioration is faster than on drier, higher ground, and we see valley failures on properties that were reflashed only 25–30 years ago.
The AONB designation and Box Hill conservation area place additional requirements on visible repair work. Like-for-like repairs in matching materials are generally permitted without consent, but changes to roof profile, material specification, or any work on listed buildings may require prior approval. We advise on planning status during the free survey before any specification is agreed.
"Lead valley on the rear slope had been slowly failing for three years. Stripped and relined in code 4, AONB-appropriate specification throughout. Dry through the last two winters — wish I'd done it sooner."
"Bath stone cottage with failed lime mortar on the ridge — tiles rocking after the last hard frost. Repointed in hydraulic lime, three loose tiles re-bedded. Careful, appropriate work on an old building."
"Cracked clay plain tiles on the south slope — matched perfectly from their stock. Couldn't tell where the repair was once done. That level of care matters on a listed building."
Like-for-like repair in matching materials generally doesn't require consent. Changes to tile specification or profile, or any work that materially alters a listed building's appearance, may require listed building consent. We advise during the free survey.
Minor tile and mortar repairs from £150–£400. Lead valley relines and chimney reflashing £300–£700. Conservation and listed building work with matched materials may carry a small premium. Free written quote — call 01249 247 076.
On all historic and conservation area properties, always. Bath stone and Cotswold limestone require lime mortar to breathe — cement pointing causes spalling damage that permanently degrades the stonework.
