3. Scheduling
We book a slot that suits you and confirm whether a tower, ladder or scaffold is needed.

We carry out the repair, re-bed or mechanically fix tiles as needed, and re-dress any lead.
5. Cleanup & sign-off
We clear all debris, leave the site tidy, and hand over a written guarantee on the repaired section.
Access, Scaffolding & Permits in Shottery
Most Stratford repairs run from a tower or roof ladder; scaffold is quoted only where the job needs safe standing time at height. Scaffold is specified for: chimney-side repairs, full valley rebuilds, and anything beyond a day working at height - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Shottery, home to Anne Hathaway's Cottage, keeps a cluster of thatched and timber-framed period cottages around Cottage Lane alongside 20th-century housing, so work ranges from delicate heritage access to open modern drives. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Stratford-on-Avon District Council; allow a few working days on streets like Cottage Lane, Hathaway Lane, Tavern Lane where space is tight.
Good to knowDisruption, Mess & Weather
A repair is usually a day of quiet ladder work with a small amount of tile debris — we sheet the area below and clear up before we leave. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Repairs run year-round; if rain stops work mid-job we fit temporary weatherproofing the same day so nothing gets worse. Low-lying and close to Stratford's watermeadows, Shottery is humid and moss-prone, and its thatch and heritage roofs need specialist care.
