Full roof replacements in Corsham and the SN13 area. Conservation area and listed building specialists. Clay plain tile, Welsh slate and concrete tile re-roofs. 10-year written guarantee. Free survey.
A full re-roof is the right call when repairs stop being economical — when fixings have failed across the whole slope, the underlay has perished, or you're throwing good money at a roof near the end of its life.
Slates slipping repeatedly across the whole roof, not just one spot
When it is not the answer: If the slate itself is sound and only the fixings have gone, a strip-and-relay reusing your original Welsh slate is often better value than a full replacement — and keeps a heritage roof authentic. Read the full guide.

Roof Replacement in Corsham
Roof Replacement Corsham
Corsham's roofing market divides clearly into two categories. The historic town centre and surrounding conservation area streets require clay plain tile or Welsh slate re-roofing to strict conservation area specifications. The post-war and modern housing on the western edges of the town uses standard concrete interlocking tile that is now reaching end of design life on the older properties. Both types require different approaches and we are experienced with both across SN13.
Conservation Area Re-Roofing in Corsham
Corsham's conservation area covers the town centre and extends to include many of the streets around Corsham Court. Clay plain tile is the approved material for most properties in this area, and we source from approved conservation suppliers to ensure compliance. For listed buildings, we document the full material specification for the listed building file and advise on consent requirements before any work starts. No re-roofing work in Corsham's conservation area begins without confirming the planning position first.
Post-War Estate Re-Roofing in Corsham
The concrete interlocking tile housing in Neston and on the western fringes of Corsham was built predominantly between 1960 and 1990. Many of these roofs are now 35 to 65 years old and approaching or past the end of their design life. We re-roof in matching concrete interlocking tile profiles or upgrade to modern concrete or clay equivalents. Full timber inspection, new breathable felt and treated battens are standard on all concrete tile re-roofs in SN13.

Local Knowledge

At the end of every roof replacement job in Corsham we carry out a site check: confirm the work is complete, clear all debris, and ensure drainage is running correctly. You receive a written confirmation of the work done and a guarantee certificate. For any job over 500 pounds we provide a full written specification of materials and methods used.

Access
Getting Safely onto Corsham Roofs
A full re-roof always needs scaffold for safe working and to protect you and passers-by; it's included and itemised in your quote. Scaffold is specified for: the entire job — full perimeter scaffold is standard on any re-roof - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Corsham's Bath stone terraces and listed cottages need lime-mortar-aware access; the historic High Street has tight pavements. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Wiltshire Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, Pickwick Road, Church Street where space is tight.

How much original slate can be salvaged and reused
Worked example: A full re-slate of a 1930s semi in Oldfield Park, reusing sound original slate with new matching slate for the shortfall: around £11,500 including scaffold, new membrane and leadwork.
Staged payments on re-roofs — nothing up front before materials are on site, a payment at strip stage, balance on completion. Re-roofing an existing home usually qualifies for reduced 5% VAT, confirmed in writing at quote stage.

Guarantee
Your Guarantee, Explained
The complete re-roof carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee in writing; slate, membrane and other materials carry their own manufacturer warranties on top.
Covered: workmanship for 10 years, in writing, transferable if you sell.
On top: manufacturer warranties on materials (terms vary by product).
Not covered: storm or impact damage - that is an insurance matter, and we will document it for your claim.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
Good to know
What It Is Like While We Work
A re-roof means scaffold up for the duration, skip on site, and some noise during the day — but external work rarely needs you home, and we protect your garden and drives throughout. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
We never strip more than we can make watertight in a day, and temporary covering goes on every night, so your home stays protected throughout. Corsham's exposed plateau position on the Cotswold edge catches more wind than the sheltered Bath valley.
