Small Cotswold market town 14 miles north of Swindon at the head of navigation on the Thames. The town centre around the Market Place and Burford Street has listed Cotswold stone buildings with stone tile roofs — traditional diminishing-course limestone in the Cotswold vernacular. Residential areas along Oak Street and Downington have a mix of period and 20th-century housing. The Thames-side location creates persistent dampness that affects all roof surfaces.
Lechlade sits at the confluence of the Thames, Leach and Cole rivers at just 75m elevation — one of the dampest locations in the coverage area. The flat, low-lying position in the Thames floodplain creates persistent humidity year-round. Morning mist is frequent from September through May, and roof surfaces rarely dry completely during winter months.
Cotswold stone tile maintenance is the dominant issue — limestone tiles weather along bedding planes and need periodic replacement with matching reclaimed stock. The Thames-side humidity causes aggressive moss and lichen growth on all roof types. Lime mortar pointing on period chimneys degrades faster than in drier inland locations. Cast iron guttering on period properties corrodes from the constant dampness.

0179 329 7084"Limestone tiles splitting on our listed property. They sourced matching reclaimed Cotswold stone from a specialist yard and re-hung them in the diminishing-course pattern. Conservation-quality work — exactly right for these buildings."
"Every roof surface was thick with moss and lichen from the river damp. They treated the whole roof with biocide, removed the dead growth carefully, and applied a preventative coat. Remarkable transformation."
"Listed building needing chimney repointing and heritage guttering. They did both in one scaffold visit — lime mortar pointing and cast aluminium gutters matching the original cast iron. Excellent period work."

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.

At 75m floodplain on Thames alluvium, Lechlade is sheltered, very damp. This exposure directly affects how long roofing materials last and which specifications are appropriate. The dominant post-war stock is the mixed 20th century, while Cotswold stone town centre 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.
Lechlade is the dampest location we cover. Every specification accounts for the persistent Thames confluence humidity. Enhanced ventilation, biocide-treated timber, proactive moss management, and lime mortar for all period masonry are standard on every Lechlade job. Cast aluminium guttering is our default recommendation here — cast iron would rust within years in these conditions.
A roofer who does not know Lechlade'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 Lechlade 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.
