Roofing in Jericho
Jericho is Oxford's oldest suburb, a tight grid of Victorian streets between Walton Street and the canal. It grew up around the Oxford University Press and the Eagle Ironworks to house their workers, and its landmark is St Barnabas Church, whose Italianate campanile rises above the rooftops. Much of Jericho lies within a conservation area.
The housing is almost all Victorian artisan terraces — small footprints, long slate roof runs, tall chimney stacks and valley gutters, packed tightly together with tricky access. Their age shows in nail sickness (slates slipping as old iron fixings rust), worn lead flashings and leaking valleys between neighbours.
We specialise in exactly this kind of roof — re-slating and repairing Welsh slate, renewing lead flashings and valleys, repointing chimneys and working carefully in Jericho's narrow, terraced streets and conservation area to keep these period homes watertight.

Jericho roofing — your questions answered
That's usually nail sickness: the original iron fixings have rusted through, so slates slip one by one. The lasting fix is re-slating the roof with new fixings, which we do routinely.
