Roof Repairs in Malmesbury

Malmesbury is a hilltop town, often said to be the oldest borough in England, and its historic centre around the Abbey is full of stone buildings with steep pitched roofs, much of it within a conservation area. Roof repairs in Malmesbury often involve older materials that need matching carefully, as well as more modern tiled roofs on the homes around the edge of town.

We cover Malmesbury from our base near the Bristol and Bath border. Every job starts with a free survey and a fixed written price, carries a ten year guarantee, and you pay nothing until the work is finished and you are satisfied.

Leaks on Malmesbury's older roofs often come from worn valleys, tired underlay or flashings around chimneys and parapets. On more modern homes, cracked tiles and lifted flashings are more likely. We look inside and out to find the source before we repair it.

Ridges on older stone buildings and postwar homes alike are often bedded in mortar that cracks with age. We rebed and repoint ridge tiles, and on suitable roofs fit a dry-fix ridge system. On historic properties we will talk through the right approach first.

On most roofs in Malmesbury, a repair is the right answer and we will say so. Where an old roof has failed throughout, we will explain what we found and set out the options in writing before you decide.
