Roofers in Kidlington

Roofs we see in Kidlington

Kidlington is one of the largest villages in England, and most of its homes date from the 1930s to the 1970s: semis and short terraces with hipped or gable roofs in concrete or clay tiles. The old village around St Mary’s church and Church Street keeps older stone houses, and the Garden City estate has its own post-war character.

We also cover Yarnton, Begbroke, Gosford, Water Eaton and Thrupp.

Weather and exposure in Kidlington

The open land around London Oxford Airport and the canal leaves much of Kidlington exposed to the wind. Many houses have porches, garages and lean-tos with lower roofs that collect water where they meet the main wall.

How we work in Kidlington

Kidlington is on our doorstep, a short drive up the Banbury Road from Oxford. Most houses have drive access, which keeps scaffold and materials simple. Many jobs here involve two roofs at once: the main roof and a porch, garage or extension below it.

Planning roof work in Kidlington

Many Kidlington semis have had porches, garages and rear extensions added over the decades, each with its own small roof. Those lower roofs take the run-off from the main roof above, so a blocked gutter on the house shows up as a leak on the porch. We trace the water back before quoting.
