For emergency roofing work in Malmesbury, this means specification choices that reflect the actual conditions rather than generic Wiltshire averages.

For an active leak, storm damage or tiles down, we make safe the same day in Malmesbury. Malmesbury is England's oldest borough — a hilltop town of Cotswold-stone cottages, stone-slate and clay roofs, and a dense historic conservation core around the Abbey. On this kind of stock, the common problems are exposed stone-slate roofs losing slates to wind, lime-pointing failure on Cotswold-stone stacks, and heritage repairs on listed stock — and knowing which you are dealing with is the difference between a lasting fix and money wasted.
Malmesbury generates more emergency calls per property than any other town we cover — a direct result of its hilltop exposure. When a south-westerly brings storm damage to Chippenham, Malmesbury typically sees that damage compounded. Ridge tiles that shift in Chippenham blow clear in Malmesbury. We carry stock for Malmesbury emergency visits specifically because the frequency justifies it.
Response from our Chippenham base to Malmesbury is approximately 20 minutes. We cover all of Malmesbury and surrounding villages — Brokenborough, Sherston, Crudwell, Oaksey, Charlton — as part of the same emergency zone. Call any time, 24/7.
Call 01249 247 076 and tell us what is happening. We prioritise active leaks and storm damage and aim to attend Malmesbury and the surrounding SN16 area the same day.
The first job is to stop water getting in — temporary weatherproofing, tarpaulin over an exposed area, or securing loose tiles and a dropped ridge — protecting your home while a permanent repair is planned.
Once the immediate risk is contained, we assess what is needed to put it right and give you a written quote, separately from the make-safe.
Storm damage is usually an insurance matter; we photograph and document the damage and our work so you have what you need for a claim.
Malmesbury is England's oldest borough — a hilltop town of Cotswold-stone cottages, stone-slate and clay roofs, and a dense historic conservation core around the Abbey. The emergencies we get called to here are usually exposed stone-slate roofs losing slates to wind, lime-pointing failure on Cotswold-stone stacks, and heritage repairs on listed stock. Malmesbury's hilltop position between two branches of the Avon leaves it fully exposed to wind on all sides. — which is exactly the exposure that turns a small weakness into a sudden leak or lost tiles in a storm.
Wherever you are in Malmesbury, the priority in an emergency is the same: stop the water first, sort the permanent fix second. We make safe quickly, then talk you through the repair without any pressure — a live leak is never a reason to be rushed into a big decision. Do not engage with any doorstep trader who knocks after a storm claiming to have spotted damage; call an established local firm and let the insurance process work properly.
If you have an active leak in Malmesbury, move furniture and valuables clear and put down buckets. If a ceiling is bulging with trapped water, it can be safer to pierce it over a bucket to drain it in a controlled way than to let the whole ceiling come down — but only if you can do so safely from below. Turn off electrics near any water ingress. Do not go up on the roof yourself, especially in the weather that caused the problem; that is what we are equipped and insured for.

Malmesbury's exposed hilltop position means it receives storm conditions at greater intensity than surrounding valley towns. Ridge tile displacement and hip failure are more frequent per property here than anywhere else in our coverage area.
Yes. We carry common ridge and hip tile profiles for Malmesbury's housing stock, code 4 lead, and lime mortar for the conservation area properties. This allows same-day repair on most emergency visits rather than a temporary tarpaulin and return.
Yes — Brokenborough, Sherston, Crudwell, Oaksey, Charlton, Hankerton and Lea are all within our Malmesbury emergency coverage zone.
Call 01249 247 076 immediately — we respond 24/7. In the meantime: move valuables away from the affected area, place buckets under active drips, and if ceiling plaster is bulging with water, carefully pierce it at the lowest point to release the water in a controlled flow rather than letting it collapse. Do not go on the roof yourself.
Yes. We provide a written damage assessment report, dated photographs of the roof condition before and after repair, and an itemised invoice. Insurers typically require this documentation for storm damage claims. We can also provide a separate condition report if your insurer requests one.
