Roof Replacement Trowbridge

The Survey

A re-roofing survey covers the roof surface, loft timber condition, lead and guttering, and chimney. We access the loft to inspect every rafter and wall plate. Findings are photographed. The quote is itemised — scaffold, skip, materials, timber, lead, guttering. No hidden extras.

On the Day

Scaffold erected, old tiles stripped, timber inspected and any repairs done before new covering goes on. New breathable felt, treated battens, new tile or slate. Ridge, hip and lead work. Scaffold down. Site cleared. 10-year guarantee certificate issued at handover.

Timber — The Variable

Rotten rafters and wall plates are only visible once stripped. We photograph everything found, quote for any additional timber work, and get written approval before continuing. The original tile/slate price does not change — only genuinely unforeseen additional work is added.

Trowbridge's Roofing Context

Trowbridge's Polebarn Road and Wingfield Road Victorian cloth workers' terraces have Welsh slate now 120 to 140 years old. Nail sickness is the primary repair issue on this stock. The Drynham estate post-war housing has concrete tile ridge mortar now 40 to 70 years old — full ridge re-bedding is the most common repair call. Wiltshire limestone properties in the town centre conservation area require lime mortar for all chimney and pointing work.

As the county town of Wiltshire, Trowbridge has conservation area and listed building designations that affect material choices for re-roofing on period properties. The Polebarn Road and Wingfield Road Victorian terraces require matching Welsh slate from approved quarries — the planning authority's position on synthetic slate as a like-for-like replacement for these properties is consistent with Bath's. The Drynham estate post-war re-roofing is unrestricted — standard concrete interlocking tile is the correct specification. We confirm the planning position on every Trowbridge re-roofing survey before specifying materials.

Survey and Assessment

Free surveys in Trowbridge are typically scheduled within 3 to 5 working days. The survey covers the full roof from physical access, loft timber inspection, all lead and chimney condition, and a planning position note for conservation area properties in the town centre. The Polebarn Road Victorian terraces receive a nail sickness percentage assessment as part of every survey — this determines the repair versus re-slating recommendation.

Costs and Pricing

Roof repair costs in Trowbridge range from £100 to £200 for a single tile or slate, £250 to £500 for ridge re-bedding on the Drynham estate post-war housing, and £200 to £600 for lead valley work on Victorian terraces. Conservation area material compliance adds modest cost on Polebarn Road properties — matching Welsh slate from approved quarries rather than generic alternatives. All costs in writing before work starts.

Guarantee and Handover

All Trowbridge roofing work carries a written 10-year workmanship guarantee. For GRP flat roofing, a 25-year manufacturer warranty supplements this. For conservation area and listed Trowbridge properties, mortar specification documentation is provided for planning files at no additional charge.

A full re-roofing project covers: scaffold erection and protection; complete strip of the existing tile or slate covering; loft timber inspection from the deck side once stripped; breathable felt installation on treated battens; new tile or slate covering to the agreed specification; all lead work — valleys, soakers, step flashings, saddles; ridge, hip and verge completion; scaffold removal and full site clear. The written quote itemises each element. Timber repair, where found on strip, is quoted separately before any work continues. The programme for a standard 3-bed property runs 5 to 8 working days from scaffold erection to removal.
