Short answer

Moreton-in-Marsh is a market town on the Fosse Way, on low, flat ground. The wide High Street has listed inns and stone houses, and newer estates surround the centre. Cotswold District Council handles planning. Parts of the town flooded in 2007, so water is a shared concern for roofers and electricians here.

Plumbers, builders and handymen: registers in preparation.

Old inns and new estates

Old High Street buildings have stone slate or Welsh slate roofs. In these buildings, electricians often route cables through floors and roof spaces so they do not cut into stone. Newer estates have concrete tiles, flat roof extensions and modern wiring. Since June 2022, Part S of the Building Regulations has required most new homes in England with a parking space to have a chargepoint.

Flood risk on flat ground

Floods often blocked the High Street from the 1940s to the 1960s, and the town flooded badly again in 2007. On flat ground, water can stand against a wall for days. Ask a roofer to check that each downpipe empties into a working drain. Ask an electrician about a raised consumer unit. The council warns that flood measures on a listed building can need consent.

Market day and the network

The High Street is also the A429, with a Tuesday market. A scaffold on its pavement needs a county council licence. National Grid Electricity Distribution runs the network.

Gas and oil

In Moreton East and Moreton West wards, 70.7 per cent of households used mains gas alone in the 2021 Census. Oil heated 6.2 per cent, about twice the England share.
