Combe Down sits on the hilltop south of Bath, a village built on the stone that built the city. Its Bath stone cottages, Georgian and Victorian villas and newer family homes sit on an exposed plateau where roofs take the full force of the weather.
As local roofers in Combe Down, we repair stone cottage roofs, slate and tile roofs on period villas and concrete tile roofs on newer homes, along with chimneys, gutters and flat roofs.
Combe Down roofs include:
Wind-lifted slates and tiles, cracked ridges and weathered stone chimneys are the most common call-outs on this exposed hilltop. Newer homes often need tile repairs and replacement fascias. Much of Bath is within the conservation area, so changes to materials or roof windows may need consent from Bath and North East Somerset Council. Like-for-like repairs are usually fine.
On the exposed plateau, check for wind-lifted slates and tiles, weathered stone chimneys and cracked ridges.
Many homes have off-street parking, though some older cottages sit on narrow lanes that need careful access planning.
Planning and building control questions go to Bath and North East Somerset Council. Much of Bath is within a conservation area and the whole city is a World Heritage Site, so changes to materials or roof windows may need consent.
