Full re-roofing across Malmesbury 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 Malmesbury 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.
Malmesbury's exposed hilltop position — the highest town in Wiltshire — means stronger wind loading and faster mortar fatigue than any valley location in our coverage area. For roof replacement work in Malmesbury, this means specification choices that reflect the actual conditions rather than generic Wiltshire averages.
Medieval and Georgian town centre properties require conservation-appropriate materials; 1960s–80s estates below the hill use standard modern specifications. We are 10 miles north from Malmesbury — 20 minutes — with no travel surcharge and same local knowledge that applies to every property type in this area.
Free survey. Written quote. No obligation.
A full re-roof in Malmesbury requires material awareness from the outset. The town centre's Cotswold stone buildings must use stone slate or clay plain tile to conservation area and listed building specification — concrete tile is never appropriate and would require planning consent. The 1960s–70s estate stock below the hill is increasingly presenting as re-roof candidates: nail sickness at this age is usually system-wide, and a roof where tiles are sliding regularly is past the repair-and-maintain phase.
Scaffold in Malmesbury's narrow medieval street pattern requires advance notice with the town council for street occupation. We handle permit applications as part of the re-roof project management — this is routine for us but something inexperienced contractors frequently overlook. All re-roofs carry a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. Free full survey and itemised quote before any commitment.
"Full re-roof on a 1975 semi — all four slopes nail-sick. Scaffold managed despite the narrow street access. Done in four days, correct tile profile, guarantee in writing. Couldn't ask for more."
"Georgian townhouse — required clay plain tile to conservation spec. Sourced correctly, lime mortar throughout, no issues with the planning officer. Professional from survey to final inspection."
"Village farmhouse re-roof in stone slate — large and complex. Properly specified, competitively priced, delivered on time. The team clearly knew what they were doing with this type of building."
Historic properties in the town centre require clay plain tile, stone slate, or natural Welsh slate to conservation specification. Concrete tile is not acceptable on listed or conservation area properties. We advise on material requirements during the free survey.
Three-bed semi in concrete interlocking tile: £5,500–£8,500. Clay tile specification: £7,000–£10,500. Stone slate or conservation area properties: from £9,000 depending on scope. Free itemised quote before any commitment.
We apply for highway occupation permits through Wiltshire Council as part of the project — this is routine for us. We advise neighbours in advance and plan scaffold erection and removal to minimise disruption.
In most cases yes, once nail sickness is system-wide. We survey each slope individually — sometimes a phased approach is viable where one elevation is more deteriorated than others. We give an honest, slope-by-slope assessment and never recommend a full re-roof if a partial approach genuinely meets the situation.
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.
