Witney is our own town: the van is loaded here, the materials are collected locally, and the person who quotes your roof is the person who runs the job. When you ring 07460 072297 you speak to Steven Thomas or someone on his team, not a booking service that sells the lead on. Because we are based inside the OX29 postcode, getting to a roof in Witney means a short local drive rather than a motorway journey. That matters most on two occasions: when you need someone to look at a leak quickly, and when a job needs a second visit to finish a detail properly. Neither becomes an argument about travel time. We work on the full range of Witney housing. The older stone and slate properties around Church Green, Corn Street and Cogges need a different approach to the 1970s and 1980s estates off Burwell Drive and Deer Park, and both differ again from the newer developments at Madley Park and West Witney. We quote what your roof actually needs rather than a standard package. Witney work also sits at the centre of our wider coverage. From here we regularly reach Woodstock, Charlbury, Burford, Eynsham and Carterton, and continue across Oxfordshire into Gloucestershire and Warwickshire for larger and heritage jobs. ### Witney at a glance - Postcodes OX28 and OX29, including Cogges, Curbridge, Ducklington, Hailey, Crawley, Madley Park and West Witney. - Distance from base Our registered address is in Stonesfield, a short local drive from central Witney, no travel surcharge for OX28 or OX29 work. - Typical property types Cotswold stone cottages with natural slate, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, post-war and 1980s estates, plus modern estate housing and extensions with flat roofs. - Most requested here Leak tracing and repairs, full re-roofs where the underlay has failed, flat roof replacement over extensions and garages, and gutter, fascia and soffit renewal. - Emergency work Emergency call-outs are available at £150 + VAT for the visit.

Local roof problems ## The roof problems we see most often in Witney Witney's housing stock spans four centuries, from Cotswold stone cottages to estate housing built in the last decade. Each generation of building fails in its own way, and knowing which failure you are looking at is most of the diagnosis. - ### Perished underlay on 1960s–1980s estates Large parts of Witney were built between the 1960s and 1980s with bitumen felt underlay beneath concrete tiles. That felt is now brittle: it tears when a tile is lifted and no longer sheds the wind-driven rain that gets past the covering. The symptom is damp patches in the loft with no missing tiles. The answer is a re-roof with a breathable membrane and new battens, not another patch. - ### Nail fatigue and slipped slates on older stone properties On the older stone and slate houses around Church Green, Corn Street and Cogges, the slates usually outlast the nails holding them. You get one slipped slate a year, then two, then a run of them after a gale. Repeated single-slate repairs stop being economic once the fixings across the whole roof have gone. - ### Mortar fillets instead of lead A large share of the leaks we trace in Witney start where the roof meets something else, a chimney, an abutment wall, a valley. Mortar fillets crack as the building moves; correctly dressed lead does not. Replacing a fillet with code-correct lead is often a small job that ends a recurring problem. - ### Extension and garage flat roofs Nearly every Witney estate has rear extensions, garages and dormers with flat roofs. Many were built as cold decks with no ventilation path, so warm air from the house condenses inside the structure and rots the deck from underneath while the covering still looks intact. Specifying a proper warm deck resolves it permanently. - ### Blocked and undersized rainwater goods The Windrush valley setting means plenty of mature trees, and gutters here silt up quickly. Overflowing gutters saturate the wall head and the fascia behind them, and the timber rots long before anyone looks up. Renewing the fascias, soffits and guttering together is what actually fixes the damp wall. - ### Wind-driven rain and exposed elevations Open ground west of Witney gives little shelter to prevailing south-westerlies. Roofs here take driving rain on the same elevation year after year, which is why verges, ridges and the windward pitch typically fail first and why dry-fixed ridges and verges outlast bedded mortar. How we work ## Our process in Witney - Step 1 ### Call or send the details Ring 07460 072297 or send the form with your Witney postcode and what you have noticed. We ask enough questions to know what to bring. - 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. 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 Witney: what local experience actually changes ### Cotswold stone, natural slate and the conservation edge of town The historic core of Witney is built in the local limestone, with natural slate and stone slate roofs that behave nothing like a modern concrete tile. Stone slates are heavy, graded in diminishing courses up the pitch, and unforgiving of a repair carried out with the wrong material. Natural slate splits along its cleavage plane, so a slate walked on carelessly is a slate you replace. Work in the conservation areas and on listed buildings also involves the council as well as the roof. We have carried out listed roof replacements including all of the council's requirements, the customer who had a 190sqm listed roof and felt replaced described it as a smooth and stress-free process, and that is the part of the job most people worry about. Where a property is listed or in a conservation area, matching the covering matters as much as the waterproofing. Reclaimed slate, the right stone, correctly sized lead and a like-for-like ridge detail keep the roof both legal and correct. Our listed and conservation roofing page covers how that work is handled. ### Estate housing and the economics of patch versus re-roof Most Witney enquiries start as a repair question and end as an arithmetic question. If the underlay is intact and the covering is sound, a repair is the right answer and it will carry a five-year workmanship guarantee. If the felt tears every time a tile is lifted, each repair buys a season, and you are spending the cost of a roof over a decade without ever owning a new one. We tell you which of those two situations you are in, and we show you the photographs that prove it. There is no benefit to us in selling a re-roof to someone who needs a day's repair, and no benefit to you in paying for annual patching on a roof that has reached the end of its life. Where a re-roof is the answer, the specification matters. New breathable membrane, new treated battens, replacement of any rotten rafter feet or wall plate found once the covering is off, mechanically fixed dry ridge and verge systems rather than bedded mortar, and new lead to the correct code at every abutment. ### Flat roofs across Witney's extensions, garages and dormers Flat roofing is a specialism in its own right, and Witney has a great deal of it. We install felt, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber, and we are an approved installer for both Classic Bond EPDM and Restec GRP. That means the systems go down as the manufacturer intends, with the right primers, trims and upstand heights. The choice between systems is usually about the shape and the use of the roof rather than a preference. A complex roof with several penetrations may suit GRP; a large simple rectangle often suits a single sheet of EPDM with no field joints; a like-for-like replacement over a sound deck may be best served by high-performance torch-on felt. Whichever system is used, the deck and the ventilation strategy get the same attention as the covering. A new membrane over a rotten deck or an unventilated cold deck is a new roof with the old fault still inside it. ### Storms, emergencies and being close by When a roof opens up during a storm, the priority is making the building watertight and safe, then diagnosing it properly in daylight. Emergency call-outs carry a £150 + VAT fee for the visit, and any repair work found is quoted and agreed separately rather than added on the spot. Our reviews from the OX28 and OX29 area include exactly this kind of work: a leaking gutter fixed the same morning after other contractors failed to turn up, and a hole in a conservatory roof attended the morning after an early-evening call and repaired that afternoon. Being based inside OX29 is the reason that is possible. We are not routing a van from another county to reach a Witney address. ### 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, the timbers and the 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 matters beyond peace of mind. If you sell the house, a survey finding on the roof is far easier to answer with photographs and a dated guarantee than with a verbal assurance.
