Almost every roof visible from that street is on a listed building or within the conservation area, which means the covering, the ridge detail and even the flashing material are all matters the local planning authority takes seriously. We are not a Chipping Campden firm pretending to know stone slate, Steven Thomas has been laying and repairing diminishing-course stone slate roofs for over 20 years, and the same approach that has kept us at 9.83/10 across 159 Checkatrade reviews applies here: an honest inspection, a written quote, and a job that matches what was there before rather than what is quickest to fit. The town sits below the escarpment at Dover's Hill, and that position shapes the work. Properties on the High Street and around the Market Hall are sheltered by neighbouring buildings, but those higher up towards the hill, and the farms and cottages scattered around Broad Campden and Westington, take the full force of weather rolling off the scarp. We price for that difference rather than quoting a flat rate for the whole GL55 area. A significant number of Chipping Campden's roofs sit above holiday lets and second homes, often left empty for weeks at a time. A slipped stone slate or a failed lead flashing on an unoccupied property can do far more damage before anyone notices, so we build clear photographic reporting into every job so an absent owner can see exactly what was found and what was done. ### Chipping Campden at a glance - Postcode GL55, covering the High Street, Sheep Street, Church Street, Leysbourne, Westington and Broad Campden. - Distance from base Around 25 miles from our Stonesfield address, typically via the A44 and Stow-on-the-Wold, a planned journey for inspections and booked work, not a same-hour drop-in. - Typical property types Grade I and Grade II listed limestone terraces and townhouses on the High Street, Arts and Crafts era houses and workshops, stone cottages in the wynds and closes behind, and farmhouses and barns on the outskirts. - Most requested here Stone slate repairs and re-laying, lead flashing renewal around chimneys and abutments, and full listed building roof projects handled with the conservation officer. - Emergency work Emergency call-outs are available at £150 + VAT for the visit.

See full details Why us ## Why Chipping Campden homeowners use Stormguard - ### Genuine stone slate experience Diminishing-course stone slate is not the same trade as a concrete tile re-roof.

Issued on paper, not promised verbally. - ### Insured to £5,000,000 Steven Thomas and both permanent staff are covered by £5,000,000 public liability. Subcontractors used on larger jobs carry their own cover. - ### Comfortable with conservation controls We work on listed and conservation area properties and can set out the specification for the roof covering and detailing in writing. Local roof problems ## The roof problems we see most often in Chipping Campden Chipping Campden's roofscape is unusually uniform for a Cotswold town, almost entirely stone slate on limestone walls, but the age and exposure of individual buildings still vary enormously between the High Street and the outlying lanes. - ### Nail fatigue across whole stone slate roofs Many High Street and Sheep Street roofs are original or close to it, and the iron or copper nails holding the stone slates eventually fail from corrosion or fatigue before the stone itself does. The pattern is slates slipping in clusters after wind rather than one at a time, which usually means the whole roof needs re-laying on new battens rather than another round of individual repairs. - ### Lead flashing failure at listed abutments Where a roof meets a chimney, a party wall or a change in roof level, common on the terraced sections of the High Street, old lead has often been patched with mastic or bitumen rather than properly dressed. Conservation officers expect code-correct lead as the fix, and it also solves the leak permanently rather than for one season. - ### Weather off Dover's Hill Properties towards Kingcombe Lane and the upper end of the town, closer to the escarpment, take harder driving rain and stronger gusts than the sheltered core of the High Street. Ridge and ferrule failures and displaced verge slates are more common here, and we price the extra exposure into the specification rather than treating the whole town the same. - ### Undetected leaks in empty second homes and holiday lets A meaningful share of Chipping Campden's housing stock is used only part of the year. A slow leak behind a chimney breast or under a valley can run for weeks before anyone is in the property to notice the stain, by which time timber and plaster damage has spread. Regular roof checks between lets are worth the modest cost against that risk. - ### Rear additions and modern flat roofs behind old frontages Many High Street buildings have later flat-roofed additions to the rear, kitchens, bathrooms, garden rooms, often built as cold decks with no ventilation path. Condensation rots the deck from beneath while the felt or roofing sheet on top still looks sound, and only a proper warm deck rebuild stops it recurring. - ### Erosion and staining from blocked rainwater goods Limestone stains and softens where water runs down the face of the wall rather than into a gutter. Rainwater goods on listed buildings are often traditional cast iron or matching cast-effect uPVC, and once these silt up or crack, the fabric of the wall below is at risk, not just the timber behind the fascia. How we work ## Our process in Chipping Campden - Step 1 ### Call or send the details Ring 07460 072297 or send the form with your Chipping Campden address and what you have noticed. We ask enough questions to know what to bring, including whether the building is listed. - Step 2 ### Free inspection We come to the property, get onto or into the roof where it is safe to do so, and photograph what we find. There is no charge for this, and no obligation. - Step 3 ### Written fixed-price quote You get a fixed-price quote in writing setting out the scope of work and the materials, matched to what a listed building or conservation area would require. If anything hidden turns up later, it is priced and agreed with you before we proceed. - Step 4 ### The work, with the same crew Scaffold or access is arranged, the work is carried out by our own team, and the site is kept tidy on a street that sees constant foot traffic and visitors. You know who is on the roof each day. - Step 5 ### Photographic sign-off and guarantee We hand over the before-and-after photographic report and the written workmanship guarantee for the work carried out, from 5 years on repairs up to 20 years on new roofs. ## Roofing in Chipping Campden: what the conservation setting actually changes ### A townscape built almost entirely from stone slate Chipping Campden's High Street is often described as one of the finest examples of a medieval wool town surviving in England, and its roofscape is a large part of why: a near-continuous run of Cotswold stone slate roofs, laid in diminishing courses, on limestone terraces that step gently along the curve of the street. Very little of that roofscape can be altered without close attention to what was there before. Stone slate behaves differently from a modern tile or even natural blue slate. It is heavier, graded by size with the largest courses at the eaves and the smallest towards the ridge, and it is quarried and split rather than machine-cut. A repair using the wrong grade or the wrong stone stands out immediately, and a conservation officer will usually ask for it to be corrected. We source reclaimed and matched stone slate for repair and re-roofing work here, and lay it in the traditional diminishing-course pattern rather than a uniform modern layout. That is a slower way to work than a standard tile roof, and it is priced accordingly, but it is the only approach that keeps a listed roof both legal and visually correct. ### Working within listed building consent Most roof work visible from Chipping Campden's High Street, and a good deal that is not, requires listed building consent before it starts. That covers re-roofing, changes to rooflights, replacement of rainwater goods, and sometimes even repairs if they involve a change of material. We can set out the roof specification and materials in writing for a consent application. That adds time at the front end of a job but rarely changes the eventual scope once the roof has been properly inspected. Where a roof is not listed but sits inside the conservation area, the same discipline still applies in practice: matching stone colour and size, retaining lead rather than substituting cheaper alternatives, and keeping ridge and verge details traditional rather than modern dry-fix unless that has already been established on the street. ### Exposure from the High Street to Dover's Hill Chipping Campden sits at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment, and Dover's Hill rises sharply behind the town. Weather that would pass over flatter ground gets pushed upward and intensified as it crosses the scarp, which means properties on the northern and higher edges of the town, and farms scattered towards Saintbury and Broad Campden, see harder rain and stronger gusts than the sheltered stretch of the High Street itself. That difference shows up in the pattern of repairs. Roofs closer to the escarpment lose ridge tiles and verge slates more often, and benefit from mechanically fixed dry ridge systems where the conservation setting allows it, rather than lime mortar bedding that a strong gust can loosen over time. We assess each property on its actual exposure rather than assuming every GL55 address needs the same specification, which keeps the cost proportionate to the real risk. ### Second homes, holiday lets and the value of a photographic report Chipping Campden has one of the higher concentrations of holiday lets and second homes in the Cotswolds, and a meaningful share of the roofs we work on belong to owners who are not in the property most weeks. That changes what good service looks like: it is less about being on site quickly and more about clear, honest reporting so a decision can be made from a distance. Every job, repair or re-roof, comes with a before-and-after photographic report showing the condition found under the covering and the finished work. For an owner managing a let through an agency, or living elsewhere and visiting occasionally, that record replaces having to be there in person. A dated photographic report and a written guarantee also give you a clear record of the work carried out. ### What you receive when the job is finished Every completed job comes with a before-and-after photographic report. On a re-roof that shows the condition of the battens, timbers and lead that nobody could see before the stone slate came off, and exactly what replaced them. On a repair it shows the failure that was found and the finished detail. You also receive the written workmanship guarantee: five years on repairs, fifteen years on new felt flat roofs, and twenty years on new pitched roofs and on GRP or EPDM flat roofs. Payment can be made by cash, card or bank transfer. For a listed building, that documentation can also form part of the record kept for future consent applications, so the next piece of work, yours or a future owner's, starts from an accurate account of what was done and when.
