Cheltenham's period properties in Montpellier, Lansdown and the Pittville estate present the most complex repair work. Welsh slate on these buildings can be 150–200 years old — much of it sound, but susceptible to nail fatigue and delamination. When individual slates slip on a listed building, matching the stone requires sourcing reclaimed material from the appropriate Welsh quarry region.
The Victorian terraces of St Paul's and Fairview shifted to plain clay tiles and early concrete, which are generally more durable but suffer from mortar failures in ridges and hips after hard winters. The post-war estates at Hester's Way, Benhall and Up Hatherley present a different challenge: 1960s–70s concrete interlocking tiles fixed with galvanised nails that have now corroded, causing widespread tile movement in any significant wind.
We carry out free roof surveys across Cheltenham. We'll inspect from ground level and with binoculars, and access the roof with ladders or scaffold where needed. You'll receive a written report with photographs and a clear quote for any works identified.
These are realistic guide prices. Your written quote will be itemised and fixed.

"Had a leak tracing job that two other roofers couldn't find the source of. These guys located it within 20 minutes — failed step flashing at the chimney base on our Victorian semi in Fairview. Fixed the same day."
"Needed Welsh slate matched for our Grade II listed terrace in Lansdown. They sourced reclaimed slate to match the existing roof exactly — the conservation officer was satisfied. Very professional."
"Lost about 8 concrete tiles in the November storms on our Hester's Way house. They re-nailed the whole back slope while they were at it as the nail sickness was widespread. Honest advice and fair price."
Minor repairs in Cheltenham — replacing a few slipped Welsh slates or re-sealing a flashing — cost £150–£400. Larger repairs such as valley replacements or repointing chimneys on conservation area properties typically cost £400–£1,200. All quotes are free and written.
Yes. We source Welsh slate to match the existing roof covering on period properties across Cheltenham's conservation areas. We also hold stock of reclaimed slate for close colour and texture matching on listed buildings.
If less than 30% of tiles or slates are damaged and the underlying structure is sound, repair is usually the right call. If the roof has widespread nail sickness, multiple failed slates, or structural timbers showing rot, a full replacement is more economical long-term. We'll give you an honest assessment at no charge.
Yes. We carry out repairs on the 1960s–70s concrete interlocking tile roofs common across Hester's Way, Benhall and similar estates. Nail sickness is widespread on this stock — we assess whether individual repairs or a full replacement is more cost-effective for your property.
Yes. We carry out free roof surveys across Cheltenham including written condition reports with photographs. No obligation and no charge regardless of what we find.
A correctly executed repair using matched materials — proper Welsh slate fixed with copper nails, code 4 lead flashings — should last 20–30 years. Quick repairs using mismatched materials rarely last more than 3–5 years.
Failed lead flashing around chimney stacks is the single most common cause — particularly on north-facing roofs. Valley blockages from autumn leaf fall are the second most common. Both are straightforward to fix once correctly diagnosed.
