Local context
Stone terraces in Trinity, Catherine Hill and the centre, Victorian villas, and modern estates expanding around the edges.
Frome's hills and stone valleys hold cold air and frost in winter — bad news for stacks, mortar joints and thin lead work.
Frome has one of the largest conservation areas in the country, so visible roof work nearly always needs matched materials.
Postcodes covered: BA11.
