Full re-roofing across Calne and surrounding Wiltshire — free survey, itemised quote, written 10-year guarantee. All materials and specification options explained clearly before any commitment.
A complete re-roof is not just new tiles. Here is what every re-roof in Calne includes as standard.
Free survey assessing tile condition, batten and felt condition, lead status, ridge and hip, guttering and chimney. Written findings provided before any quote is agreed.
All tiles stripped, existing felt and battens removed. Roof deck inspected for rotten or damaged boards. Any structural issues identified before work proceeds.
BS5534-compliant underlay and pressure-treated battens throughout. No re-use of deteriorated battens — this is where corners are most often cut by cheaper contractors.
Lead valleys, chimney flashings and abutment flashings replaced in correct code weights as part of the re-roof. Not patched over existing lead.
Tiles fixed with stainless steel nails or clips — never original mild steel that will corrode again in 30 years. Correct fixing pattern for tile type and roof pitch.
Written workmanship guarantee covering all installation work. Clear terms, not small print. Provided on completion alongside invoice and specification record.
Calne's elevated chalk ridge position creates more UV and thermal cycling than valley towns — felt and lead age faster on exposed south-facing slopes. For roof replacement work in Calne, this means specification choices that reflect the actual conditions rather than generic Wiltshire averages.
1980s–90s estate housing on Studley and Quemerford drives the majority of maintenance calls. We are 6 miles east from Calne — 12 minutes — with no travel surcharge and same local knowledge that applies to every property type in this area.

Re-roofing in Calne ranges from Victorian town centre clay tile to modern estate concrete interlocking tile. The Victorian stock around Oxford Road is now 100–130 years old — batten and felt condition is typically the driver for a full re-roof rather than tile condition, as original clay tiles often outlast the roof structure beneath them.
The 1980s–90s estate housing in Studley and Quemerford is now 30–40 years old. These properties are generally not yet at the full re-roof stage, but flat roof extensions, ridge mortar and early guttering failures are increasingly common first maintenance calls. We survey honestly and recommend only what's needed.
"Full re-roof on Victorian terrace — battens completely rotted beneath sound clay tiles. Tiles salvaged and relaid with new felt and battens. More cost-effective than full tile replacement."
"1985 semi — ridge mortar completely failed, verge mortar crumbling. Strip and relay with new felt and battens, existing tiles reused. Two days, tidy, properly priced."
"Full re-roof on exposed cottage — original slates beyond repair. Natural Welsh slate replacement. Properly installed, correctly specified for the exposed position."
Victorian clay tile: £6,500–£10,000. Modern estate concrete tile: £5,000–£8,000. Natural slate: from £8,500. Free survey and itemised quote before any commitment.
Specification-wise, no — but we factor exposure into tile fixing density and mortar specification. Higher exposure means more fixings per tile and flexible mortar at ridge and hip is non-negotiable.
When batten or felt condition is failing system-wide, or when tile fixing failure (nail sickness) is confirmed across multiple slopes. We survey and advise honestly — repair is recommended wherever it genuinely meets the situation.
Yes — Cherhill, Compton Bassett, Quemerford, Heddington and Yatesbury are all within our Calne service area.
It depends on the property. Modern estate housing typically uses concrete interlocking tile — durable, matched to surrounding properties. Period and conservation area properties should use clay plain tile or natural slate. We advise on the most appropriate material for your specific property and planning context during the free survey.
A full re-roof removes a common pre-purchase survey concern and is typically reflected positively in valuations. The exact impact depends on the market, but a documented 10-year guarantee and clearly maintained roof is a strong selling point compared to a property with a survey flag on roof condition.
We monitor forecasts and plan the strip phase around dry weather windows. We never leave a fully-stripped roof overnight without weatherproofing in place. If a weather delay extends beyond one day, we communicate clearly and keep the roof secure. Our 10-year guarantee covers any issues arising from our workmanship regardless of weather during the build.
