The High Street and the lanes around it are lined with historic limestone buildings whose stone slate roofs are integral to how the town looks. Work here is craft work: the covering, the coursing, the valleys and the stacks all have to be right, because everything is visible and nothing tolerates a modern shortcut. We cover Burford from our base in Chipping Norton, and emergency cover runs 24 hours a day with a typical storm-damage response within 45 minutes. On historic fabric that speed matters more than usual — water that reaches old timber, lath and plaster does damage that is expensive and slow to undo. Most of what we do in the town is careful renewal rather than replacement. Stone slates are lifted, sorted and re-set into their correct diminishing courses, failed pegs and nails are renewed, lime torching is made good, and lead valleys, soakers and chimney flashings are hand-dressed on site. Where previous repairs used cement fillets or mastic, we strip them out and form the detail properly. Everything is inspected before it is priced, and priced as a single fixed written figure. Heritage roofing is skilled and labour-heavy, which is exactly why we agree the number in advance rather than working to a day rate. We are based in Chipping Norton — a short run south-west from Chipping Norton — and cover Burford as part of our wider coverage across Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and the Cotswolds.

On a Burford roof that is essential: the skills required are traditional ones, and they are not something to learn on your building. ### 22 years of comparable work Troy Burton has 22 years' experience on Cotswold and Oxfordshire roofs, including cottages, barns and listed buildings. The same materials, the same construction and the same failure points as the properties in Burford. ### Fixed written quotes on craft work Labour-led heritage roofing is where open-ended pricing does the most damage. Every job is quoted as one fixed written figure before we start, covering labour, materials, access and clearance. ### Insured, qualified and guaranteed Fully insured and qualified, with all work backed by our quality workmanship guarantee — the minimum standard for working on buildings of this age. ## Common roofing problems in Burford ### Heavy stone on old timber Cotswold stone slate is a heavy covering, and centuries-old rafters and battens carry it with little margin. Where a slow leak has softened batten ends or rafter feet, the loading becomes a structural question, not just a weathering one. ### Sourcing and grading matching stone Replacement limestone slate has to match in colour, thickness and size, then be graded into the correct diminishing courses. Get it wrong and the repair is visible from the street permanently — which is why salvage and careful sorting come first. ### Failed pegs, nails and lime torching The stone usually outlives its fixings. Oak pegs rot, nails corrode, and the lime torching that once sealed the underside crumbles away, letting wind-driven rain and snow into the roof space. ### Cement repairs on historic detail Decades of cement fillets and mastic over lead flashings leave rigid patches on a building that moves. They crack, hold water against masonry, and often accelerate the decay they were meant to stop. ### Deep valleys and complex geometry Historic properties have grown over time, leaving steep slopes, catslides and hidden valleys carrying large volumes of water through very few outlets. Each junction is a potential entry point and needs proper lead detailing rather than a surface repair. ## How we work, in Burford and everywhere else - 01 ### Your call is answered by the roofer You speak to Troy, not a call centre. He'll ask what you're seeing — a stain on a ceiling, slates in the garden, water tracking down a chimney breast — and tell you honestly whether it needs looking at this week or watching for now. Emergencies are dealt with straight away, 24 hours a day. - 02 ### A proper inspection, not a glance from the drive We get up to the roof, into the loft where access allows, and look at the covering, the battens, the flashings, the valleys and the stack. Leaks are traced back to what has actually failed, because water very rarely enters where it appears inside. - 03 ### A fixed written quote before anything starts You get one clear figure covering labour, materials, access and clearance — never a day rate that grows as the week goes on. If we find something that genuinely changes the scope, you hear about it before a decision is made, not afterwards. - 04 ### The work carried out cleanly and correctly Safe access set up, materials matched to your property, weathering details formed properly in lead rather than sealant, and the site left tidy at the end of every day. Fully insured and qualified throughout. - 05 ### Final check, then a guarantee that means something We walk the finished job with you and explain what was done and why. All work is backed by our quality workmanship guarantee, and if you have a question a year later, you're calling the same person who did the roof. ## Burford roofing questions ### Do you serve Burford? ### How quickly can you reach Burford in an emergency? ### What does a Cotswold stone roof repair cost in Burford? ### Can you match the existing stone slates on my roof? ### Do you work on listed buildings in Burford? ### Is emergency roofing available in Burford out of hours? ### Is your work insured and guaranteed? ### Which nearby areas do you also cover? ## Nearby Areas We Cover WitneyCharlburyStow-on-the-WoldChipping NortonOxfordBanburyChadlingtonStratford-upon-AvonHook NortonWoodstockMoreton-in-Marsh ## Get a fixed quote in Burford Written price before any work starts.
