Roofing around Port Meadow
Port Meadow is ancient common land on the north-west edge of Oxford — grazed for a thousand years, never ploughed, and left deliberately open. The homes that border it run from Walton Well Road and Aristotle Lane on the Jericho and Walton Manor side, along the canal and waterways, out to the cottages on Binsey Lane and up to Wolvercote at the northern end.
Backing onto several hundred acres of open meadow has a real effect on a roof. There is nothing to break the wind coming across from the west, so these properties take weather that sheltered streets a few hundred yards away never see. Storm call-outs here are consistently the same list: ridge tiles lifted, verge mortar blown out, slates slipped along the exposed slope and flashings peeled back.
The housing itself is mostly Victorian — slate-roofed terraces and larger villas on the Walton Manor side, with older cottages towards Binsey. We handle the full range: emergency storm repairs and temporary protection, slate and ridge work, lead flashings, chimney repointing and guttering.

Port Meadow roofing — your questions answered
Backing onto open meadow leaves your roof with no windbreak from the west. Once bedding mortar has weathered, ridge and verge tiles are the first to go. Re-bedding properly, rather than re-fixing the odd tile, is what stops it recurring.
Yes, and this is one of the areas we get called to most after a gale. We aim to provide temporary weatherproofing within about 2 hours. Call 01865 591801 any time.
Yes — full re-slating with new fixings is routine, and worth considering where an exposed slope has started shedding slates one after another.
