Woodstock's roofs: a stone town at Blenheim's gates
Woodstock is an old market town built of Cotswold stone, sitting right beside Blenheim Palace. Much of the centre is a conservation area and many of its buildings are listed, so a roof repair there has to suit the building, and some work may need consent from West Oxfordshire District Council first. On old stone and soft brick I use lime mortar for bedding and pointing. My heritage roofing page explains how I work on older roofs.
Many of the older roofs are stone slate, the kind Stonesfield, a few miles west, gave its name to, with clay tile and Welsh slate on others. Old chimneys and the lead around them take a lot of weather on houses this age: see my chimney repairs page. The newer houses on the edges of the town are more often concrete tile, with flat roofs over garages and extensions.
I cover Woodstock and Old Woodstock, and the villages around them, including Bladon, Wootton, Tackley, Stonesfield and Long Hanborough. For planned work I usually look the next day; for an emergency I'm usually there in about an hour.

Questions from Woodstock
Do you cover Woodstock and the villages around it?
Yes. I cover Woodstock, Old Woodstock and the villages near them, including Bladon, Wootton, Tackley, Stonesfield and Long Hanborough, as part of the whole of Oxfordshire. To check before I come out, WhatsApp me your postcode and a photo of the roof on 07306 077999.
Can you work on a stone slate roof on a listed house?
Yes. I work on old, period and listed buildings, including stone slate roofs, and if the old slates are in good condition I re-use them. On a listed building, or in Woodstock's conservation area, some work may need the council's consent before it starts, so check that first. My heritage roofing page has more.
How quickly can you come out to Woodstock?
For planned work I usually come and look the next day. In an emergency I'm usually with you in about an hour. The visit is free either way, and there's no extra charge for evenings, weekends or bank holidays.
