Full roof replacements in Midsomer Norton, Radstock and the surrounding BA3 area. Concrete interlocking tile and Welsh slate 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 Midsomer Norton
Roof Replacement Midsomer Norton
Midsomer Norton and Radstock have a high proportion of housing stock that is now approaching the tipping point where full re-roofing offers better long-term value than continued repair. The post-war and 1960s to 1980s concrete interlocking tile housing across the Westfield estate and surrounding streets is typically 40 to 75 years old. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centres have Welsh slate roofs now 100 to 140 years old.
Concrete Tile Re-Roofing in Midsomer Norton
Concrete interlocking tile re-roofing is the most common full re-roof job across BA3. The Westfield estate and the surrounding post-war housing stock use standard Double Roman and interlocking slate-effect profiles, most of which are still available as direct replacements. We re-roof in matching or upgraded concrete tile, with full timber inspection, new breathable felt and treated battens as standard. Ridge and hip mortar is replaced throughout using flexible mortar bedding that resists the frost cycling common at Midsomer Norton's elevation.
Welsh Slate Re-Roofing in Midsomer Norton Town Centre
The older Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Midsomer Norton town centre and in Radstock require Welsh slate re-roofing with matching slate and correct lead soaker detailing. We carry Welsh slate stock and can complete most town centre re-roofs within 5 to 7 working days including scaffold.

Getting Safely onto Midsomer Norton 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.

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. On the Mendip fringe, Midsomer Norton sees more exposure and wind-driven rain than sheltered Bath.

The Decision
When Re-Roofing Is the Right Answer
The Economics of Repair vs Replace
The re-roofing decision is ultimately a financial calculation over a 10-year horizon, not a comparison of today's repair cost versus today's replacement cost. A Victorian Welsh slate roof with 30 percent nail sickness across the rear elevation will cost approximately 400 to 600 pounds per year in progressive repair over the following 5 years before the elevation needs full re-slating regardless. The cumulative repair cost over 5 years is 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, plus the re-slating cost of 3,000 to 5,000 pounds at year 5. Doing the re-slate now costs 3,000 to 5,000 pounds with no interim repair costs. The earlier decision is cheaper in almost every case.
What the Survey Covers
A re-roofing survey assesses: the condition of every accessible rafter, purlin, and wall plate from the loft space; the state of the existing felt and battens; all lead work including valleys, flashings, and gutters; the chimney condition; and the fascia and soffit condition. We photograph everything that requires attention and present a complete itemised quote covering all the associated work, not just the tile replacement. A re-roofing survey that only looks at the tile surface and ignores the timber below it is not a complete survey.
Timber — The Variable That Changes the Price
The most common reason a re-roofing job costs more than quoted is timber. Rotten rafters and wall plates are not visible until the old roof is stripped, and any contractor who quotes a firm price for a re-roof including all possible timber is either pricing in a large contingency or taking a risk on your behalf. We handle this by providing a base quote for the re-roof with a standard timber allowance, photographing all timber work found on strip, and presenting a revised quote for any additional work before proceeding. You see the evidence and approve the extra cost before we continue.
