No single roofing approach fits all of it, and we quote each property on what is actually above the ceiling rather than a standard package for the postcode. The town sits in the shallow valley of the River Stour, and parts of the centre and the low ground towards the river are known to flood in heavy or prolonged rain. That does not affect the roof directly, but it does mean rainwater management, gutters, downpipes and how a roof sheds water away from the walls, carries more weight here than in a town on higher ground, and we specify rainwater goods with that in mind. Away from the historic centre, Shipston has grown with modern estate housing off Campden Road, Blackwell Road and towards the A3400, mostly built from the 1970s onward with concrete or clay tile roofs and, on newer developments, engineered trusses and flat-roofed garages. These need the same attention to detail as the older buildings, just a different set of common faults. We also cover the farms, smallholdings and outbuildings in the villages around Shipston, Tredington, Honington, Halford, Ilmington and the wider Stour valley, where agricultural buildings, barns and stables often need re-sheeting, guttering or repair work alongside the farmhouse roof itself. ### Shipston-on-Stour at a glance - Postcode CV36, covering Shipston town centre, the High Street and Sheep Street, the Campden Road and Blackwell Road estates, and surrounding villages including Tredington, Honington and Ilmington. - Distance from base Around 20 miles from our Stonesfield address, typically via Chipping Norton and Moreton-in-Marsh, a planned journey for inspections and booked work. - Typical property types Georgian brick and stone-fronted buildings in the town centre, timber-framed buildings behind later facades, 1970s–2000s estate housing on the town's edges, and farmhouses, barns and outbuildings in the surrounding villages. - Most requested here Clay and concrete tile repairs, natural slate re-roofs on older properties, rainwater goods sized correctly for heavy valley rainfall, and outbuilding and barn roofing on farms around the town. - Emergency work Emergency call-outs are available at £150 + VAT for the visit.

Local roof problems ## The roof problems we see most often in Shipston-on-Stour Shipston's roofs range from Georgian brick townhouses to modern estate housing and working farm buildings, and the river valley setting adds its own pressures on top of ordinary weathering. - ### Rainwater goods overwhelmed on low ground Properties in the centre and towards the river sit on ground that already floods in prolonged wet weather. Undersized or blocked gutters and downpipes add to that problem by dumping roof water straight down the wall face instead of clearing it away, which saturates brickwork that is already close to the water table. Correctly sized rainwater goods matter more here than in a town on higher ground. - ### Hidden timber frames behind Georgian facades A number of buildings on the High Street and Sheep Street present a Georgian brick front but conceal an older timber frame behind it, sometimes with a roof structure that has been altered more than once over the centuries. Diagnosing a leak here means understanding which layer of the building is actually failing, not just replacing what is visible from the loft hatch. - ### Slipped and cracked clay tiles on older roofs Older properties around the centre often carry clay plain tiles, which are more brittle than concrete and crack under foot traffic or frost after decades of weathering. A run of cracked or slipped tiles usually signals the whole roof is reaching the end of its serviceable life rather than needing another round of single-tile swaps. - ### Estate roofs from the 1970s–2000s with worn underlay The Campden Road and Blackwell Road areas, along with newer development towards the A3400, are built with concrete or clay tiles over bitumen felt underlay that has become brittle with age. The tell-tale sign is damp patches in the loft with no obvious missing tiles, the underlay itself has failed and a re-roof with a breathable membrane is the lasting fix. - ### Farm and outbuilding roofs left until they fail Barns, stables and stores on farms around Shipston often carry fibre-cement or steel sheeting that gets left alone until a section blows off or a gutter collapses under the weight of moss and debris. Regular checks on outbuilding roofs catch corrosion and fixing failure early, before a full re-sheet becomes the only option. - ### Chimney and flashing failures on brick stacks Brick chimney stacks common on Shipston's older housing suffer from perished mortar joints and old flashings that were dressed in cement rather than lead. Both let water track down inside the chimney breast, showing up as staining on an internal wall well away from the roofline itself. How we work ## Our process in Shipston-on-Stour - Step 1 ### Call or send the details Ring 07460 072297 or send the form with your Shipston-on-Stour postcode and what you have noticed. We ask enough questions to know what to bring, whether that is a town property or a farm building. - 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. 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 whether it is a High Street property or a working farmyard. You know who is on the roof each day. - Step 5 ### Photographic sign-off and guarantee We hand over the before-and-after photographs and the written workmanship guarantee for the work carried out, from 5 years on repairs up to 20 years on new roofs. ## Roofing in Shipston-on-Stour: what local experience actually changes ### Georgian frontages and the buildings behind them Shipston's High Street and Sheep Street present a run of Georgian and Victorian brick frontages, many added onto older buildings when the wool and coaching trade brought money into the town. Behind a number of those facades sits an earlier timber-framed structure, with roof pitches, purlins and rafters that were adapted rather than replaced when the front elevation was rebuilt. Working on these roofs means reading the structure before quoting the work. A leak that appears to come from a slipped tile can actually be tracking along an old purlin from a joint metres away, and a re-roof needs to work with an irregular historic frame rather than assume a modern, uniform roof shape. Where a building is listed or sits within the town's conservation area, matching brick, tile colour and detailing to the street is also part of the job, and we handle that alongside the waterproofing itself. ### The Stour valley setting and rainwater management The River Stour runs close to the town centre, and low-lying parts of Shipston have a known history of flooding in heavy or sustained rain. A roof cannot solve that on its own, but a roof that sheds water efficiently, through correctly sized gutters and downpipes discharging to a working drainage point, takes pressure off ground that is already prone to standing water. We see more blocked and undersized rainwater goods here than the roof coverings themselves would suggest, partly because older cast iron systems on town-centre buildings have narrower capacity than modern equivalents and were never designed for the volume of water a hard modern downpour delivers. Renewing fascias, soffits and guttering to a specification suited to the property, rather than simply matching what failed, is often the single most effective piece of work we do in Shipston to prevent water tracking down walls and into foundations. ### Estate housing and the pattern of underlay failure The estates off Campden Road and Blackwell Road, and newer development towards the A3400, follow a familiar pattern seen across similar-aged housing elsewhere: bitumen felt underlay beneath concrete or clay tiles that has become brittle with decades of heat cycling in the loft space. The failure shows as damp patches with no missing tiles, because the water is getting past the tile joints and running along a torn underlay rather than through a gap in the covering. Patch repairs on this kind of roof buy time rather than solve the underlying problem. Where a re-roof is the right answer, we fit a breathable membrane and new treated battens, check rafters and wall plates once the old covering is off, and replace ridge and verge with mechanically fixed dry systems rather than bedded mortar that loosens with age. ### Farms, barns and outbuildings around the town Shipston sits among working farmland, and a good deal of our work in CV36 postcodes is on agricultural buildings rather than houses: barns, stables, machinery stores and grain stores in villages such as Tredington, Honington, Halford and Ilmington. These roofs are often fibre-cement or steel sheeting, sometimes decades old, maintained only when something visibly fails. Re-sheeting a barn roof, replacing corroded fixings, and renewing guttering that has collapsed under the weight of moss are common jobs here, and they are priced and guaranteed the same way as domestic work, a written fixed-price quote and a workmanship guarantee, not a handshake agreement. We also see farmhouse roofs quoted alongside outbuilding work in the same visit, since access equipment and scaffold can often serve both if timed together, which keeps the overall cost down for the landowner. ### 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 flashings that nobody could see before the covering 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. That documentation is useful whether the property is a Georgian townhouse being sold on, an estate house going through a survey, or a farm building being logged for insurance purposes, a dated record of the work carried out.
