Roof Replacement Combe Down

Re-roofing on Combe Down stone properties requires lime mortar bedding and conservation-appropriate materials. The plateau exposure means correct ridge and hip detailing is more critical here than at valley-floor locations. Free survey, written quote.

We cover Combe Down as part of our core Bath service area with no additional call-out charges. All work is carried out by our own team — no subcontractors. Free assessment, honest written quote before any work starts.

Local Housing Profile

Combe Down housing is predominantly stone quarrymen's cottages (pre-1900) and victorian/edwardian terraces, with welsh slate and clay peg tile on period stock as the dominant roofing material on period stock. The most common issues in this area are ridge failure on exposed elevations, Bath oolite requires lime mortar, frost cycling on flat roofs. We carry the appropriate materials for all Combe Down property types on every vehicle.

Our Process in Combe Down

Every roof replacement job in Combe Down starts with a free physical assessment. We inspect the full roof condition, not just the reported problem, and provide a written fixed price before any work starts. Materials for the most common Combe Down repair types are on all vehicles. Most Combe Down jobs are completed in a single visit without scaffold.

The Complete Survey

A re-roofing survey on any property in our coverage area covers the roof surface, the loft timber condition, any associated lead and guttering work, and the chimney condition. We access the loft to inspect every rafter, purlin, and wall plate for rot, movement, or insect damage. We photograph everything that requires attention and present findings before the quote is agreed — not as a surprise cost escalation after scaffold is erected. The survey is free. The quote is itemised. There are no hidden extras.

Scaffold, Skip, and Programme

The quote for any re-roof includes scaffold erection and removal, a skip for stripped material, and a confirmed programme of work. Scaffold is typically up for 10 to 16 days on a standard 3-bed semi. We confirm the exact programme at the survey stage. If additional timber work is found on strip, we photograph it, price it separately, and get written approval before continuing. The original quote price for the tiling or slating work does not change — only genuinely unforeseen additional work is added.

Guarantee and Handover

All re-roofing work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee provided at handover alongside any manufacturer material warranties. The guarantee document names the property, describes the work, and states the guarantee period clearly. It is a legally enforceable document, not a verbal promise. For re-roofing on properties where a structural engineer's certification is required by a mortgage lender or insurer, we can facilitate this as part of the project.

Re-Roofing Stone Properties in Combe Down

Re-roofing on Combe Down's stone-built properties is largely conservation-area work. Welsh slate matching, lime mortar ridge bedding, Code 5 lead valleys and soakers, and consultation with the planning authority where required. We have experience of the Bath & North East Somerset planning officer's requirements for conservation area re-roofing and advise on compliance as part of every survey. Planning consultation, where needed, is arranged before the quote is agreed — not after scaffold is erected.
