Slipped tiles, leaks and storm damage are the most common roof repair calls in Lacock. Lacock is a National Trust village, almost entirely listed — medieval and Tudor timber-framed and stone cottages with clay-tile and stone-slate roofs, under the strictest conservation control in the county. On this kind of stock, the common problems are listed-building roof repairs, hand-made clay tile and stone-slate matching, and heavy moss from the watermeadow humidity — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
Roof repairs in Lacock require a level of material discipline that distinguishes specialist contractors from generalists. Every property in the village core is National Trust leasehold, and every repair must use appropriate materials — clay plain tile in matching profile, lime mortar on all masonry pointing, code 4 lead minimum on all valley and flashing work. We carry matching clay plain tiles and NHL hydraulic lime as standard stock for Lacock work.
The National Trust has material standards that extend beyond planning requirements — certain tile profiles, mortar specifications and fixing methods are required regardless of whether listed building consent is needed. We work within these standards as a matter of course and advise leaseholders on what approach their specific property requires before any work begins.
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.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Slipped or cracked tile refix | 1–2 hours |
| Ridge tile re-bedding | half a day |
| Chimney flashing renewal | half to full day |
| Rear valley rebuild (code 5 lead) | 2–3 days |
| Emergency make-safe | same day |
Wet or high-wind days pause tiling and leadwork — we build weather margin into every booking and make safe first if rain is coming.
Lacock's status as a preserved historic village means listed-building consent and natural materials are effectively mandatory, and access down the narrow medieval streets is tightly constrained. Pavement scaffold and skip permits in Lacock go through Wiltshire Council; on tight streets like East Street, West Street, Church Street we allow extra time for setup and access.
Roof repairs typically run £150–£900 depending on the fault. Lacock pricing tracks Chippenham, adjusted for access on Lacock's stock.

A day of ladder or tower work and a small amount of tile debris — we sheet below the work area and clear everything before we leave. You do not need to stay home for external work.
Repairs run year-round; temporary weatherproofing goes on the same day if rain stops work mid-job. Lacock sits low by the Avon watermeadows, so humidity is high, moss growth fast and drying slow.

"Lead valley failing at a complex junction on a stone cottage. Stripped and relined in code 4, lime mortar on surrounding pointing. Careful, specialist work done properly."
"Annual maintenance visit — moss cleared carefully by hand, ridge repointed in lime where joints had opened, gutters cleared. Exactly the gentle maintenance an old building needs."
