Short answer
Chipping Campden is a wool town in the north Cotswolds, and its curved High Street is lined with listed stone houses. Most old roofs are Cotswold stone slate. Cotswold District Council handles planning and listed building consent. Choose a firm with heritage roof experience, and ask the council before you change any material.

Chipping Campden roofs
The High Street curves through the town, with stone houses of many ages on both sides. The roofs are mostly steep stone slate, often with dormers and stone stacks. The Market Hall, built in 1627, stands in the middle of the street. Like many Campden buildings, it carries a heavy stone slate roof on old timbers. When a roof like this is stripped, the roofer often finds laths and pegs that need renewal too.
The Guild of Handicraft moved to Campden from London in 1902. The Arts and Crafts craftsmen of that time repaired many local buildings with care. Newer houses on the edge of the town mostly have reconstituted stone slates.
Conservation area and listed buildings
The town is a conservation area, and Cotswold District Council publishes its boundary map. A large share of the High Street is listed.
On a listed building, listed building consent covers changes inside and out. Structures inside the grounds can be covered too. Like-for-like repair with matching stone slate is often fine, but ask the council before you change a slate, a ridge or a chimney detail.
To check a listing, go to Historic England's Search the List. Many High Street houses have a name, not a number, so search by the house name and Chipping Campden.
Access on the High Street
Most High Street houses front the pavement, and parking is tight. The scaffold firm needs a pavement licence from the county council before it starts. Rear access through lanes and yards can help, so ask the firm to look at both sides. Ask also where the firm will store slates and waste, because there is little space on the street. Visitors fill the town in summer, so a quieter month can make access easier.
Villages around Chipping Campden
Firms that work in Campden often cover Broad Campden, Ebrington, Mickleton, Weston-sub-Edge and Aston Subedge. Each has a conservation area. Some cottages in Ebrington are thatched. A thatched roof needs a thatcher, not a general roofer.
Questions
Is my Chipping Campden house listed?
Search the Historic England list by house name or street. If you are still not sure, ask Cotswold District Council.
Can I replace the stone slates on my High Street house with new ones?
Ask the council first. On a listed building, it often prefers reuse of sound slates, with matching reclaimed or new slates for the shortfall.
What should I ask a roofer before work on a listed house in Campden?
Ask for examples of listed roofs the firm has done, a written method for the work, proof of insurance and who will apply for any consent or licence.
