Old roofs and old walls

Most old roofs are steep stone slate on old timbers. When one is stripped, the laths and pegs often need renewal too. Grade I buildings include the Market Hall of 1627, Grevel’s House and the almshouses on Church Street. In buildings like these, electricians use floor voids and roof spaces so they do not cut into old walls.

The town is a conservation area. Consent for a listed building covers work inside and outside, and can cover structures in its grounds. Ask the council before you change a slate, a ridge or a chimney, or fit an outside light or alarm box. Many houses have a name, not a number, so search the Historic England list by house name.

Access and the network

Most High Street houses front the pavement, so a scaffold needs a county council licence. Ask about rear access through lanes and yards. National Grid Electricity Distribution runs the network. Some cottages in Ebrington are thatched, and a thatched roof needs a thatcher.

Gas and oil

In the 2021 Census, 74.3 per cent of households in Campden and Vale ward used mains gas alone, and 6.3 per cent used oil. Many homes in the villages around the town use oil.
