Roof Replacement covering Paulton and the surrounding BA3 area. Free assessment, no call-out fee. Stone mining cottages (pre-1900) and post-war estate housing specialists.
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.

Reviews
What Paulton Homeowners Say
★★★★★
“Ridge tiles on our post-war semi went after a January storm. Called at 8am, confirmed attendance for 10am, all re-bedded by lunchtime. No call-out fee.”

★★★★★
“GRP flat roof on rear extension. One day to complete, 25-year warranty certificate provided. Would recommend.”
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.

Paulton Re-Roofing — Stone Properties and Post-War Estates
Re-roofing in Paulton covers two distinct market types. Stone mining cottages in the village centre require conservation-sensitive Welsh slate re-roofing with lime mortar bedding — matching slate from approved quarries, Code 5 lead valleys and soakers, and a full timber inspection before the new covering is applied.

Both types are within our standard specification range. Free surveys for both property types. Written quotes before any work starts.
Free assessment visits available within 2 to 5 working days. Written fixed price before any work starts. No call-out fee. All work carried out by our own team — no subcontractors. 10-year workmanship guarantee on completion. Call 0122 528 7924 to arrange.

Access
Getting Safely onto Paulton 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.
Paulton's village terraces and modern estates are mostly accessible, with scaffold on the older stone stock. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Bath & North East Somerset Council; allow a few working days on streets like High Street, Church Street, Plumptre Close 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. Paulton's hilltop village position gives it more weather exposure than the valley floor.
