Leckhampton climbs from Cheltenham's southern edge up toward the Cotswold escarpment — Victorian and Edwardian terraces at the lower end, older stone properties as you rise toward the hill. The frost exposure here is noticeably worse than in the valley, and roofing problems reflect that. We cover Leckhampton regularly and understand what the hillside conditions demand.

Properties on Leckhampton Road and the Old Bath Road corridor are predominantly Victorian and Edwardian terraces with clay or plain tile coverings. These are generally well-built but showing their age in the mortar beds, valleys and flashings — the combination of age and hillside frost exposure makes these repairs more frequent here than in newer suburbs.
Higher up toward Church Road and the escarpment, properties become older and more varied — Cotswold stone construction, natural slate, and some retained original clay peg tiles. These require lime mortar and sympathetic repair approaches. The wooded gardens on the upper slopes contribute to significant valley and gutter blockage each autumn.
Clay and plain tile nail fatigue is the primary call on period terraces on the Old Bath Road corridor. Lead valley blockages from wooded gardens generate repair calls each October-November. Ridge and hip mortar failures driven by cold air drainage from the escarpment are the third most common issue we address in Leckhampton.
We're based in Cheltenham and cover all of Gloucestershire. All nearby towns are within our standard service area.
"Had the rear slope re-nailed and three clay tiles replaced. They found two more cracked tiles during access that could have caused leaks within a year — flagged them honestly and included the repair without extra call-out. Thorough."
"Lead valley replaced after persistent leak on the downhill side of the chimney. Tracked to a poorly formed original valley joint. Replaced with heavy gauge lead and properly dressed this time. Solid work."
"Autumn valley clear and biocide treatment on our Edwardian semi. The wooded garden means we need this every year. Quick, tidy, and the moss growth has been noticeably reduced since they started the annual treatment."
