New Roofs & Re-roofing in Shepton Mallet & Wells
If your roof is reaching the end of its life, Somerset Roofline Care can help you decide what needs replacing and what can be retained. Chris provides tile and slate roof installations and re-roofing across Shepton Mallet, Wells, Castle Cary, Bruton, Wincanton and surrounding Somerset.
The details beneath the tiles
This photograph from our existing gallery shows the lower tile courses lifted during work at the eaves. It gives a closer look at the layers beneath the finished roof covering.
For a proposed re-roof, Chris will explain which layers and details need renewing, whether existing tiles or slates can be kept, and how the eaves, ridge, verges and adjoining walls will be finished.
View our roofing and roofline project gallery, or see our roof repair service if the problem is limited to a smaller area.
A clear assessment before a major decision
A leak alone does not prove you need a new roof. We look at the condition of the covering, battens, underlay, roof details and any visible signs of water damage. Where a targeted repair is a practical option, that should be explained alongside replacement.
Repeated failures, widespread deterioration or an unsuitable existing covering may make re-roofing the more sensible approach. The proposed work should follow the condition of your roof, the building and your budget.
Tile and slate roof replacement
We can discuss tile and slate coverings, including whether existing materials can be reused where suitable. A quotation should describe the covering, membrane and battens, eaves ventilation, ridge and verge details, and any leadwork or chimney repairs required.
Scaffolding, protection during the work, disposal of old materials and the intended sequence should be clear before the job starts. Any insulation requirements, structural concerns or approvals will need to be considered for the particular property.
Roof repairs or a complete re-roof?
For a small area of damage, start with our roof tile repair service. We also offer chimney repairs and fascias and soffits, which can be assessed alongside a replacement roof.
15-year guarantee on new roof installations
New roof installations come with our 15-year guarantee. Your written quotation and guarantee certificate explain the work covered and the applicable conditions. Repairs are assessed separately. Ask Chris to talk you through the scope before booking.
We also assess the guttering and fascias and soffits where these meet the new roof. See our local coverage across Somerset or roofing project photographs.
Request a site visit
Send Chris your postcode, a brief description of the roof and any photographs you can take safely from the ground. A site inspection is normally needed to prepare an accurate re-roofing quotation. There is no single price that suits every property.
New roofs and re-roofing: common questions
Can existing tiles or slates be reused?
Where their condition and suitability allow, we can discuss retaining existing materials. We assess the covering before confirming what can be reused and what needs replacing.
What should a re-roofing quote include?
The quote should describe the roof covering, membrane and battens, ridge and verge details, eaves arrangements and any leadwork required. Access, scaffolding and waste removal should also be clear.
How much does a new roof cost?
There is no single price for every property. Roof size, covering, condition, access and the work beneath the tiles all affect the quote. Contact Chris to arrange an assessment.
How long will the work take?
The programme depends on the roof, materials, access and weather. We will discuss the expected sequence and timescale when agreeing the work.
