Roofers in
Combe Down.

Combe Down is a conservation area sitting on top of the historic Bath stone mines. The village is the source of the stone that built Georgian Bath, and many of its own buildings are themselves listed.

Working in Combe Down

Local building stock,
local detail.

Roofs in Combe Down tend to be older than typical and on properties with significant heritage value. Welsh slate and Pennant are common; some of the older cottages still have stone slate roofs that need specialist re-laying and matching.

We work on Grade II properties throughout the village, including chimney rebuilds in matching ashlar, leadwork to bay tops and valleys, and full slate re-covers using reclaimed material where new isn't acceptable to the conservation officer. The village is also exposed - a south-facing ridge running along Combe Down means proper mechanical fixings and good ridge detailing matter more than usual.
