Slipped tiles, leaks and storm damage are the most common roof repair calls in Bradford-on-Avon. Bradford-on-Avon is a steep Bath-stone town tumbling down to the river — terraced weavers' cottages, stone-slate and clay roofs, and one of Wiltshire's densest listed-building cores. On this kind of stock, the common problems are conservation-grade stone-slate work, lime repointing on stone stacks, and moss on the shaded riverside terraces — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
Roof repairs in Bradford-on-Avon require a level of material awareness and craft skill that goes beyond standard roofing. The town's Cotswold stone slate roofs are technically demanding — heavy, irregular stone tiles with large head laps, lead valleys in heavier code weights than clay tile, and lime mortar on all masonry. The valley moisture means lead deteriorates faster than on higher, drier ground, and we see valley failures on properties that were reflashed 20–25 years ago.
Conservation area and listed building compliance is not optional in Bradford-on-Avon — the town has one of the highest densities of listed buildings in Wiltshire, and the Conservation Officer actively monitors repair and maintenance work. We advise on compliance before any specification is agreed. Like-for-like repair in matching materials generally proceeds without consent; anything that changes the visible roof character requires prior discussion.
We attend, identify the root cause — not just the symptom — and tell you honestly whether a repair resolves it.
A fixed price for the repair before any work starts. No call-out fee during business hours.
We carry common Chippenham tile profiles and code 4 lead, so most repairs are booked within a few days.
The repair is completed, usually in a single visit, and the area left clean.
We confirm the fix, flag anything else developing, and guarantee the repaired section.

Wet or high-wind days pause tiling and leadwork — we build weather margin into every booking and make safe first if rain is coming.

Repairs run year-round; temporary weatherproofing goes on the same day if rain stops work mid-job. Bradford-on-Avon's steep valley sides and riverside position combine shade, humidity and wind exposure on the upper slopes.
"Stone slate lead valley failing at the main junction — active water in the back bedroom. Stripped, boards inspected and sound, new code 5 lead throughout, stones relaid correctly. The valley is watertight for the first time in years."
"Bath stone chimney with failed lime pointing and cracked lead apron flashing. Both addressed in the same visit — NHL lime throughout, code 4 lead. Passed Conservation Officer inspection without comment. The right people for this type of work."
"Cotswold stone cottage on the ridge — several stone slates cracked and lifting. Slates sourced to match, refixed with correct fixing method. You can't see where the repair is. That's the test."
Yes. We source matching Cotswold stone slates from local and regional suppliers and carry a small stock of common profiles for emergency use. Where an exact match is critical for listed building compliance, we can source from reputable reclaim merchants.
Like-for-like repair in matching materials generally doesn't require listed building consent. Changes to material specification, roof profile or any work that alters the character of a listed building requires consent. We advise during the free survey.
