Bishops Cleeve sits at the foot of Cleeve Hill — higher, colder and more exposed than Cheltenham in the valley below. That frost exposure takes a toll on mortar beds and ridge pointing faster than most locations in Gloucestershire.

The majority of Bishops Cleeve's housing is modern — the village expanded rapidly through the 1980s and 1990s into one of the larger residential settlements north of Cheltenham. Concrete interlocking tiles on these estates are now 25–40 years old, and the higher altitude means they have experienced more severe freeze-thaw cycling than equivalent properties in the valley.
The older village core around Church Road and the high street has a different character — period cottages and farmhouses with natural stone or early clay tile coverings that require more sympathetic repair approaches. We carry out both the modern estate repairs across the expansion areas and the more specialist period work in the old village.
Mortar bed failure on ridges and hips is the primary repair call — Bishops Cleeve's frost exposure at the Cotswold foot makes this significantly more common than lower-lying locations. Nail-sick concrete tiles on 1980s–90s estates and UPVC guttering failures are the next most frequent issues we address.
We're based in Cheltenham and cover all of Gloucestershire. All nearby towns are within our standard service area.
"Had the whole ridge repointed after three sections blew off in the January frost. They used flexible pointing compound to handle the Cleeve Hill exposure — no failures since through a hard winter."
"Emergency call after storm damage to the back slope. Quick response despite it being a Sunday afternoon. Made watertight the same day and back for the full repair mid-week."
"Full gutter replacement on our 1980s detached. Old UPVC had UV degraded and was cracking at every joint. New system installed neatly and they replaced the fascia boards on the north elevation at the same time. Good value."
