How we install it
Assess
We inspect the roof and confirm whether re-roofing is genuinely the right step or whether repair is still sensible.
Strip & check
The covering is removed and the exposed structure inspected; any timber issues are shown and agreed before extra work.
Recover
New membrane, battens and covering are installed with full detailing at every junction.
Finish
Final inspection, clean-up, waste removal and guarantee handover.
Re-Roofing in Wells — your questions answered
What's the difference between re-roofing and a roof repair?
A repair fixes a specific problem area; re-roofing strips and recovers the whole roof. Repairs make sense when the covering is largely sound; re-roofing makes sense when the covering as a whole has reached the end of its life.
Can I re-roof in winter?
Often yes — we plan and protect open roofs around the weather. Some spells make open-roof work impractical, and we'll always prioritise keeping your home watertight over rushing.
Will you reuse my existing tiles?
Sometimes sound tiles can be reused, but on a full re-roof new materials are usually more sensible and come with manufacturer warranties. We'll advise based on the condition of what's there.
