Family-Run Roofers | 10-Year Workmanship Guarantee
Trusted Roofers in Bicester
Bicester has doubled in size in the last fifteen years. Kingsmere, Elmsbrook, Graven Hill, and now Himley village going up fast. New estates with their own particular roofing issues, mainly detailing problems around dormer windows, flat roof extensions, and where roof sections meet. The 1960s, 70s, 80s, and 90's estates around Bure Park, Glory Farm, Southwold, Kings End, and Langford Village are now at the point where concrete tiles and underlay need replacing. The market town centre still has older properties with chimneys and slate that need specialist hands. Each type needs a different approach.

Roofing in Bicester: What We See Most
Bicester's housing stock has two big stories: the older estates now needing replacement, and the new estates needing fixing. Plus the market town centre and the surrounding villages. Each one comes with its own typical problems.
New-build estates
Kingsmere, Elmsbrook, Graven Hill, Whitelands Farm. Generally sound roofs, but issues with detailing, particularly around dormer windows, flat roof extensions, and where extensions meet the original roof. Some work involves dealing with builder warranty issues where the original contractor won't engage.
1960s and 70s estates
Bure Park, Glory Farm, Langford Village, Kings End, parts of Southwold. Concrete and interlocking tile roofs from the 60s and 70s. Most are now at the age where underlay replacement, ridge work, and verge repairs are needed, even if the tiles still look reasonable.
Market town centre
Older properties around Market Square and the streets running off it. Slate and clay tile roofs, chimney work, leadwork on valleys and parapet walls. Smaller scale than central Oxford but the same level of care required.
Surrounding villages
Launton, Ambrosden, Chesterton, Stratton Audley, Fringford, Kirtlington, Wendlebury, Bucknell, Weston-on-the-Green. Traditional stone cottages with slate or clay tile roofs. Some are listed. All need a roofer who understands traditional materials.
Conservation areas and listed buildings
Bicester town centre has a conservation area, and several of the surrounding villages have their own. Smaller proportion than Oxford, but they're there. Listed building consent is required for most external work on listed properties.
HMOs and rentals
Bicester has a strong rental market driven by London commuters and the local employment base. Many older properties are subdivided into HMOs. Landlord-friendly scheduling, written quotes, and proper invoicing for accounting and tax purposes.
If you're managing property in Bicester and need a roofer who can quote properly and stick to schedule, we work with landlords and letting agents across the town.

Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings
Bicester town centre is a conservation area, and several of the surrounding villages have their own. A smaller proportion of Bicester properties are listed compared with Oxford, but they exist, particularly in the older village stock. Both come with restrictions on what work is permitted and how it must be done.
We work on both. Conservation area work usually means matching materials exactly: natural slate, not synthetic; specific clay tile profiles; correct lead detailing. Listed building work requires listed building consent before any external alteration.
If you're not sure whether your property has any of these restrictions, we can check at the inspection stage. We can also liaise with Cherwell District Council's planning office on your behalf where useful.

M&C roofing were very prompt and professional when our roof valley was causing us issues. They came to asses the damage and were very fair and honest about the work that was required. Work started on the day stated and completed as though no one has been in our garden. We are very happy customers and would recommend to friends and family.

James was very quick to reply and the visit and inspect our damaged roof. Repairs were carried out quickly and early days but it looks like the work has solved the problem.
Thanks James and Steven

I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. The team was incredibly professional throughout each of the three separate jobs they completed for me. Very honest, efficient, and really nice to engage with. Have helped with a few small jobs as a gesture, which was really kind. I have recommended them to a lot of my friends and colleagues, who were also very happy with the results. I highly recommend M&C! / Kat
