Local context
Stone cottages near the Gorge, post-war semis through the village and modern estates expanding toward Axbridge.
Wind funnels off the Mendips and through the Gorge, so high-exposure roofs see real lift on ridges and verges in winter storms.
The Gorge area and parts of the village centre are protected — re-roofs are typically matched to existing natural materials.
Postcodes covered: BS27.

Local questions specific to Cheddar
- Is Church Street listed?
- Most of the historic core including Church Street, Bath Street and the Gorge-side properties is in the Cheddar Conservation Area, with several individually listed buildings. Lime mortar and matched materials are the standard spec, and consent is needed for any visible material change.
- Do exposed Gorge-side properties need special detailing?
- Yes — heavier ridge fixings (dry-fix clipped or high-bond mortar) and Code 5 lead at all flashings are our standard spec for Cliff Street and Gorge-edge properties. Wind funnelling is significant.
