Historic market town 12 miles north-east of Swindon on a prominent hill above the upper Thames vale. The town centre around the Market Place and Church Street has listed Georgian and earlier stone buildings with Cotswold stone and Welsh slate roofs. Conservation area restrictions apply throughout the historic core. Residential expansion in the 1970s–90s at Fernham Fields, Park Road and the Folly Park area added standard concrete tile estates. Major new-build development at Fernham Gate since 2015 has significantly expanded the town.
Faringdon sits on a prominent limestone hill above the flat Thames clay vale — one of the most elevated and exposed towns in the area. The hilltop position creates significant wind loading on roofs, particularly on the north-western side facing across the open vale toward Lechlade. Properties around the Folly Tower are among the most wind-exposed in the entire coverage area.
Hilltop position at 120m creates wind exposure comparable to Highworth. Cotswold stone tile maintenance on listed High Street and Church Street properties requires specialist knowledge. Lime mortar degradation on Georgian chimney stacks is accelerated by the exposed position. New-build snagging at Fernham Gate — guttering joints and dry verge caps failing within 5–10 years of construction.

Swindon's exposed plateau position at 120m creates roofing conditions distinct from sheltered valley towns. Wind loading is higher, temperature swings are wider, and freeze-thaw cycling is more frequent. This means roofs here work harder and fail sooner than in more protected locations. Understanding your specific situation — the age of your roof, the materials used, and the exposure conditions of your property — is essential for making the right maintenance and investment decisions.
We offer free roof surveys and consultations across Swindon and a 15-mile radius. We inspect from the roof, photograph everything, and explain what we find without pressure or obligation. Whether you need immediate work or are planning ahead, an honest professional assessment helps you make informed decisions. Call 0179 329 7084 to book your free inspection.

Just straightforward advice from the people who will actually do the work.
At 120m hilltop on limestone, Faringdon is prominent hilltop exposure. This exposure directly affects how long roofing materials last and which specifications are appropriate. The dominant post-war stock is the 1970s-90s Fernham Fields, while listed Market Place properties require traditional materials and period-appropriate techniques. We know the difference and carry both material ranges on every van.
Comprehensive roofing services covering pitched roof repairs and full replacements with stainless steel fixings, GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber flat roofing for extensions and garages, same-day emergency call-outs for storm damage and active leaks, guttering cleaning repair and replacement including fascia and soffit work, and chimney repointing lead flashing replacement and stack repairs. Every service uses the correct materials for the property type, meets or exceeds British Standards, and carries our written 10-year workmanship guarantee. We are NFRC registered and carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
Faringdon's hilltop exposure matches Highworth's — our enhanced wind specifications apply here too. The listed Market Place properties require conservation-grade materials and techniques. We carry both modern high-performance materials for the post-war estates and traditional lime mortar and reclaimed stone for the town centre.
A roofer who does not know Faringdon's specific conditions will apply generic specifications that may not account for the local climate, the dominant housing era, or the exposure patterns that affect how long materials last. We have worked on Faringdon properties for over 20 years and know exactly which materials, fixings and techniques are appropriate for each property type and location within the town. This knowledge is the difference between a roof that lasts its full design life and one that needs premature attention.
