Roofing in Wells,
from a local roofer
Wells (BA5) is around 6 miles from our base near Glastonbury.
Wells is around six miles from our base near Glastonbury, a short drive along the A39. We cover the whole city and the surrounding BA5 villages.
As England's smallest city, Wells has a high share of historic buildings. Many homes have slate or clay roofs, stone or brick chimneys and traditional lead details. These need repairing with matching materials and the right mortars.
Away from the centre, Wells also has large inter-war, post-war and modern housing areas, where the work is more often tile repairs, re-roofs, flat roofs and roofline replacement.
Wells homeowners often ask us to look at roofs after buying an older property, or once damp has appeared in an upstairs room. Our first job is always to find out why. On period homes around the cathedral and the older streets, the cause is often a lead detail or a chimney rather than the tiles. On the post-war estates towards the edge of the city, it's more often slipped tiles, ageing felt or a failing flat roof on an extension. Either way, you get photos and a plain explanation before deciding anything, and the work is priced fixed so there are no surprises when the job is done. We also cover the villages around Wells, including those along the A39 towards Glastonbury and up onto the Mendip edge.

Common roof problems
in Wells
The age of the buildings, the local weather and the way homes were built all shape which faults turn up most. These are the ones we see most often in Wells.
Lead failures on period homes
Bay roofs, valleys and chimney flashings on older Wells homes are often decades old and splitting.
Cement patch repairs
Older stone and brick that has been repointed in hard cement can trap moisture and crack.
Slate deterioration
Older slate roofs lose slates as nails corrode, which is known as nail sickness.
Weather from the Mendips
Wells sits at the foot of the Mendip Hills, and roofs on higher streets take more wind and rain.
Original felt on inter-war homes
Many 1930s homes still have their original underlay, which no longer keeps water out.

Booking a roofer
in Wells
Hiring a roofer can feel like a gamble. Here's exactly how it works when you book TB Property Maintenance and Roofing in Wells, from the first phone call to the final clean-up.
Your first call
Call 07916 735568 or send the quote form. You'll speak to Travis, not an office. Tell him what you've noticed (a damp patch, a slipped tile, a sagging gutter) and, if you can, send a photo. He'll arrange a time to visit your Wells property, between 8am–8pm.
The inspection
For homeowners, the inspection is free. Travis checks the roof, chimney, gutters and, where he can get in, the loft. He photographs what he finds and walks you through it in plain English, so you understand the problem as clearly as he does. If you don't yet own the property, there is a charge for the inspection, which is confirmed before he visits.
Your fixed-price quote
You get one fixed price for the work, not a day rate that can creep up. Where there's more than one way to fix the problem, the options are explained honestly, including when a repair makes more sense than a replacement. There's no pressure to decide on the spot.
On the day
Travis turns up when he says he will, carries out the agreed work and keeps your property tidy throughout. If anything unexpected turns up once the roof is open, you're shown photo evidence before any extra work is discussed. When the job is finished, the area is cleared, gutters are checked and you get before-and-after photos, along with written confirmation of your guarantee.
