Georgian and stone frontages along the wide High Street sit in a conservation area with material constraints. Exposed south-west county edge near the Oxfordshire border catches prevailing wind and rain.
We cover High Street, Banbury Road and the wider NN13 area, and price every slate roofing job against the specific stock and access on your street — not a one-size guess.
On Brackley roofs, slate roofing calls most often start with sound slates slipping despite looking fine (nail sickness) or cracked or delaminating slates in patches. The way we approach it depends on your property and street. Georgian and stone frontages along the wide High Street sit in a conservation area with material constraints. That local reality — the stock era, the access, and exposed south-west county edge near the oxfordshire border catches prevailing wind and rain — is exactly what we price against, rather than a one-size national rate.
Done properly, locally. Slate is re-fixed with copper or stainless nails to BS 5534 so nail sickness does not simply recur. Workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years; reused Welsh slate re-fixed with copper nails can last another 50. Because we are based here and rely on our Brackley reputation, we turn up when we say, keep the site tidy — a re-slate is a major job with scaffold and some noise; a re-fix is quick and low-impact — and stand behind every job in writing. We cover High Street, Banbury Road and the surrounding roads, and we are happy for you to get other quotes: a proper roofer expects it.
