Learn more →Bicester has expanded rapidly over the past 40 years and the housing stock reflects it. The original village core around Market Square and Kings End has a small collection of period properties — Victorian and Edwardian brick with clay plain tiles and chimney stacks — but the majority of Bicester’s housing is post-war and modern. The large estates of Bure Park, Langford Village, Kingsmere and the ongoing Graven Hill development are all modern construction, dominated by concrete interlocking tiles and increasingly by modern concrete low-profile tiles. Older parts of the town around Causeway and London Road have 1960s and 1970s semi-detached stock that is now reaching significant maintenance age.
Bicester sits on relatively high ground in north Oxfordshire, which exposes it to wind more than the sheltered river valley towns to the south. The prevailing south-westerly tracks across open farmland before reaching the town, and exposed roof aspects on the large estate housing regularly take more wind loading than the original tile specifications anticipated. This drives tile displacement on the older concrete tile estates more than is typically seen in valley-sheltered towns. The large number of relatively modern properties also means more flat-roof extensions and garage roofs in need of upgrade or replacement than the older market towns in the area.
Wind-displaced concrete tiles on the exposed 1970s and 1980s estate housing are a frequent repair call. Flat-roof failures on rear extensions and garages built in the 1980s and 1990s are widespread across Bicester — these properties are at 30–40 years post-construction, which is when original felt flat roofing commonly reaches end of life. Ridge and hip mortar failure is common on the 1960s stock around Causeway and London Road.

We cover Bicester and all surrounding towns and villages. Call us if you’re not sure — we’ll confirm.
We cover fast-growing Bicester and the surrounding area — postcodes OX25, OX26, OX27 and beyond — with the same approach we bring to every Oxfordshire roof: a free survey, an honest written quote, and work backed by a 10-year guarantee. Being genuinely local means we know the housing stock here and the failures it is prone to, rather than treating every roof as a generic job.
Every job in Bicester starts with a proper look: we inspect the roof and the loft, diagnose the real cause rather than the visible symptom, and give you a fixed written price with any scaffold or access itemised. There is no call-out fee and no obligation. For an active leak we aim to be with you within 2–4 hours to make the roof safe, then quote the permanent repair separately.
How we reach your roof depends on the job — towers or ladders for quick repairs, full scaffold for re-roofs and chimney work. Where scaffold or a skip needs pavement space, we arrange the permit through the relevant council and allow for it in the quote, so there are no surprises. It is always itemised, never a hidden extra.
All our workmanship in Bicester carries a written 10-year guarantee, transferable if you sell. Materials carry their own manufacturer warranties on top. If a covered fault appears, we come back and put it right — no quibbling. See how we work for the full process, or read our honest repair-or-replace guide if you are weighing up your options.
Covering OX25, OX26, OX27 and surrounding postcodes.
“Concrete tiles slipping on our Langford Village semi after a windy winter. They came out, identified nail sickness on the rear slope, re-nailed the affected section and replaced the worst tiles. Quick, honest and competitively priced.”
“Flat roof on the rear extension had been failing for two years. GRP replacement done in a day, looks great. They also noticed the ridge mortar was failing at the front and flagged it before it became a leak. Good eye.”
“Emergency call on a Sunday after the February storm took three tiles off. They were here by 9am Monday, sorted it and did a full roof check while up there. Professional and reassuring under pressure.”
Most Bicester roof repairs cost £150–£500. Tile displacement on concrete interlocking roofs is towards the lower end; flat roof repairs and lead flashing work cost more depending on extent. All work is quoted free in writing before we start.

On the 1970s and 1980s concrete tile estates, wind displacement and nail sickness are the most common issues. On the large number of 1980s–1990s properties with flat-roof rear extensions, original felt roofing reaching end of life is the most frequent call.
Yes. We cover all of Bicester (OX26) and the surrounding area including Launton, Ambrosden, Blackthorn and Chesterton. If you're unsure whether we cover your address, call 0186 580 3181.
In Bicester, the most common issues we encounter relate to nail sickness on Bure Park estates and pointing failure on 1980s stock. This is characteristic of the 1960s–1980s estates and modern expansion housing found across Bicester. We survey and advise on the most cost-effective solution.
Call 0186 580 3181 to book a free survey. We visit the property, inspect the roof, and provide a written itemised quote. There is no call-out fee and no obligation to proceed.
Bicester's flat northern Oxfordshire position gives it one of the most uniform roofscapes in the county — predominantly 1960s–1990s concrete interlocking tile on semi-detached estates, with the modern Kingsmere development adding contemporary clay and concrete tile. The absence of topographic shelter means prevailing north-easterly and south-westerly winds reach roof surfaces directly. This exposure, combined with the peak nail sickness age of the 1960s–1980s estate stock, makes Bicester one of the highest-demand re-roofing areas in north Oxfordshire.
The Bure Park and Launton Road estates in particular — 1960s and 1970s construction — are now 55–65 years old with ferrous nail fixings at or past their service life. A free nail sickness survey will assess the extent of fixing failure and advise on whether targeted repair or full re-tiling is the appropriate response for your Bicester property.
