Roofers who know
Witney street by street.

Witney sits on the eastern edge of the Cotswolds AONB, and its housing stock reflects that: Cotswold stone terraces and cottages around High Street, Church Green and Corn Street, Victorian and Edwardian villas along Bridge Street and Newland, and large modern estates at Madley Park, Deer Park and Cogges to the east and south.

We're comfortable across all of it — stone slate and clay tile on the older properties, concrete interlocking tile on the newer estates, and EPDM and GRP flat roofing on extensions throughout. For urgent Witney jobs across OX28 and OX29 we aim to attend the same working day, usually within an hour.

Postcodes covered

Property types

Witney's older core is characteristically Cotswold — coursed stone walls, stone-slated or clay-tiled roofs, with the occasional dormer or stone chimney. Moving out towards Madley Park, Deer Park and Cogges the housing becomes 1980s onwards, with trussed rafter construction and concrete interlocking tiles. Both extremes need experienced hands — Cotswold stone slates are unforgiving of poor detailing, and modern concrete tiles fail differently again.

Common Issues in Witney

The problems we see most
on Witney roofs.

Every location has its own failure profile — driven by property type, climate exposure and building age. Here's what we regularly deal with in and around Witney.

Slipped stone slates on Cotswold roofs

Traditional Cotswold stone slates rely on oak or copper pegs and correct lap. Where 20th-century repairs used mortar bedding or ferrous nails, failures cluster over time — we strip, sort and re-lay using appropriate detailing.

Ridge mortar failure on estate housing

1980s and 1990s concrete-tile roofs on Madley Park and Deer Park often have original mortar-bedded ridges cracking and lifting. Dry-fix ridge systems solve it permanently and satisfy BS 5534.

Failed felt on kitchen extensions

The town has a lot of 1990s and 2000s single-storey rear extensions with felt flat roofs that now pond and bubble. EPDM or GRP replacement, properly detailed at the abutment, solves it.

Blocked valley gutters

Older stone properties often have hidden lead-lined valleys that block with moss and leaves. Cleared and, where necessary, re-leaded during a spring visit — much cheaper than the internal damage from a blocked winter valley.

In Detail

How we work
in Witney.

Cotswold stone slate — the right way

Genuine Cotswold stone slate roofing is a specialism, not a general trade. Slates vary in thickness, size and weight down the roof, and the detail at the eaves, valley, ridge and verge is very specific. Wrongly re-laid, stone slate roofs leak within a season.

We strip carefully, sort slates on the ground, retain the sound ones, and source matching stone for renewals — either reclaimed or Naturally Occurring Stone (NOS) that matches colour and grade. Fixings are copper or oak pegs, not ferrous. Lime mortar for bedding where it's used at all.

Working within the Cotswolds AONB

Witney sits inside the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Where a property is listed or in a conservation area, the roof material and detail are usually protected. We work like-for-like, use appropriate materials, and are happy to liaise with West Oxfordshire District Council conservation officers when needed.

We photograph the existing detail before strip-off so ridge, verge and eaves treatment can be replicated exactly — including any locally-typical detailing that matters.

Our Process

Five steps. No day rates.
No surprises.

01

Call or enquire

Tell us the postcode, property type and what you've noticed. If it's urgent we prioritise the visit and, where safe, talk you through a temporary hold until we arrive.

02

Same-day survey

A working roofer — not a salesman — attends, inspects at height where needed and photographs the defect. You get an honest opinion on whether it's a repair, a section renewal or a full re-roof.

03

Fixed-price quote

Written quote by email, itemised by task and material. No day rates, no vague allowances. What you agree is what you pay unless you approve a change in writing.

04

Scheduled works

We book a start date that suits you, protect the property with sheeting and skips positioned correctly, and turn up when we said we would. Waste is removed daily, not left on the drive.

05

Sign-off & guarantee

Final walk-round with photos of the finished work, invoice, and your written 15-year workmanship guarantee (10 years on flat roof systems). We're on the phone if you ever need us again.
