Full re-roofing across Lacock 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 Lacock 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.
The National Trust village sits in a valley with high moisture retention and significant tree canopy — moss growth and lead corrosion are faster here than in open country, and all work must meet NT material standards. For roof replacement work in Lacock, this means specification choices that reflect the actual conditions rather than generic Wiltshire averages.
National Trust medieval village — virtually every property is listed, clay plain tile is the only acceptable specification, and lime mortar is mandatory throughout. We are 3 miles south from Lacock — 8 minutes — with no travel surcharge and same local knowledge that applies to every property type in this area.
Free survey. Written quote. No obligation.
Full re-roofing in Lacock requires National Trust approval in advance of any work. The Trust's specification requires clay plain tile to matching profile, lime mortar throughout, code 4 or 5 lead on all valley and hip work, and no plastic or modern materials visible from outside. We have experience preparing the documentation and material specifications required for NT approval.
The scale of most Lacock properties — individual cottages and terraces rather than large detached houses — means re-roofs are typically smaller in area but higher in complexity per square metre than standard residential work. Cost reflects this: clay plain tile re-roofing on a Lacock cottage typically runs £7,000–£12,000 depending on size and lead specification.
"Full re-roof on a National Trust cottage — clay plain tile to NT specification. Materials approved in advance, NT inspection passed on completion. Professional throughout."
"Victorian cottage re-roof — existing clay plain tiles in good condition, stripped and relaid with new lime mortar, lead valleys replaced in code 4. Best outcome for the building and the budget."
"Re-roofed the outbuilding in matching clay plain tile while the main house was scaffolded — efficient use of the access. Both jobs done properly. Happy to recommend."
Yes. Full re-roofing on National Trust leasehold properties in Lacock requires NT approval before work commences. We prepare material specifications and assist with the approval process. Work without NT consent risks lease enforcement action.
Clay plain tile to matching profile, lime mortar throughout, code 4 or 5 lead on all valley and hip work. No concrete tile, cement mortar, or modern plastic components visible externally.
Clay plain tile re-roof on a typical Lacock cottage: £7,000–£12,000 depending on size and lead specification. Free survey and itemised quote before any commitment.
Typically 2–4 weeks once the material specification is submitted. We factor this into the project timeline. Emergency work proceeds with notification rather than advance approval — permanent repair is then subject to the standard process.
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.
