Replace a tired, patched roof with one built properly from the timbers up, so you can stop paying for repairs and forget about your roof for decades.
Re-roofing means stripping the existing roof covering back to the rafters and rebuilding it: new breathable membrane, new treated battens, and new or carefully reclaimed tiles or slates, finished with new ridges, verges and flashings.
It is the right choice when repairs have stopped being value for money. Typical signs are repeated leaks in different places, sagging or bowed roof lines, widespread slipped tiles, perished felt visible from the loft, or a roof that is simply at the end of its life.
A re-roof is a large decision, so Travis inspects first, photographs the condition of the felt, battens and timbers, and explains honestly whether you need a full re-roof, a partial re-roof or targeted repairs. You get a fixed price, a clear timescale and regular updates as the job progresses.
A roof at the end of its life fails gradually, then all at once. Delaying the decision usually makes it more expensive.
Each patch costs money but does nothing about the underlying failed felt and battens.
Long-term damp can affect rafters and wall plates, adding structural work to the eventual re-roof.
Stained ceilings, wet insulation and mould add redecorating costs on top of roofing.
Surveyors flag failing roofs, which can delay or reduce a sale.
Weak fixings and brittle tiles are more likely to fail in high winds.
We don't publish prices because every roof is different. After a free inspection you get one fixed price. These are the things that shape it.
Hips, valleys, dormers and chimneys all add detail and time compared with a simple gable roof.
Concrete tiles, clay tiles and natural slate each have different material and labour costs.
Sound rafters keep costs down. Rot found once the roof is stripped is shown to you with photos and priced before any work.
Height, garden access and neighbouring properties all affect the scaffold needed.
Free inspection of the roof and loft, with photos of the felt, battens, timbers and coverings.

Ridges, hips, verges, valleys and flashings completed and checked for weathertightness.

The right roof depends on your property, local planning character and budget. These are the options we discuss with most Somerset homeowners.
“Travis is great to work with and matched up to all the other great reviews I found on this supplier. Great communication, professional job, tidy, trustworthy and customer focused. In short, you get everything it says on the tin! Highly recommended.”
Interlocking concrete tiles are the most common covering on post-war and modern homes in Street, Bridgwater and Weston-super-Mare. They are hard-wearing, cost-effective and quick to lay, and modern profiles are available in a range of colours to suit the area.
Clay plain tiles and clay interlocking tiles suit older and character properties. They hold their colour well and age attractively, which matters in conservation-minded towns such as Wells and Glastonbury.
Slate is long-lasting and traditional, and is often found on Victorian terraces. It is laid with careful gauging and fixed with nails or hooks. Where existing slates are sound, reclaiming some of them can keep the roof's character.
Underneath the visible covering, a breathable membrane and treated battens are what keep the roof dry and secure. Proper ventilation at the eaves and ridge prevents condensation building up in the loft, something often missed on cheaper jobs.
Dry ridge and dry verge systems mechanically fix the most exposed parts of the roof rather than relying solely on mortar. They reduce maintenance and are well suited to exposed sites on the Mendips and Somerset Levels.
When you call about re-roofing & new roofs, you speak to Travis. He inspects the roof, prices the work and carries it out himself, bringing in trusted labourers only on larger jobs. There's no handover between a surveyor, an office and a crew, so nothing gets lost along the way.
You see photos of the problem before you're asked to spend anything. If extra work turns up once the job starts, you're shown the evidence and the options before anything changes. One customer put it simply: he kept them informed of any extra work needed, with evidence.
Every re-roofing & new roofs job is quoted at a fixed price after a free inspection. You know the full cost up front, and it doesn't creep up if the job takes longer than expected. Travis prefers not to publish prices online, because guessing without seeing the roof helps nobody.

Many homes around Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet and Frome still have their original roof coverings, which are now well beyond their designed life. The felt underneath, where there is any, has often perished completely, even when the tiles still look reasonable from the ground.
We have re-roofed properties across the towns we cover, including older buildings where beams needed replacing. One customer's 1850 property was refelted and tiled in 2022, and they report no issues since.
