New Roofs in Wem, Shropshire

Deciding between a patch-up job and a full re-roof can be a tough call. Most of the time, homeowners tell us they're tired of throwing good money after bad on endless small repairs. If your roof is over 40 or 50 years old, it's likely that the underlying felt has perished or the nails holding everything together have rusted away. That is where we come in. We specialise in full re-roofing services throughout Wem, ensuring your home is stripped back safely and rebuilt with modern, high-quality materials. We use breathable membranes that allow your house to 'breathe' while keeping every drop of rain out, alongside treated battens that won't rot away in a few years. It is about giving you that long-term security you need. Plus, a fresh set of tiles or slates can completely transform your home's kerb appeal, making it the smartest-looking house on the street. We handle everything from the initial structural check to the final ridge tile, so you don't have to lift a finger.

Every home in Wem has its own character, from traditional cottages to modern family homes. We make sure your new roof matches that style perfectly. Are you looking for the timeless, rugged beauty of natural slate? Or perhaps the clean lines and versatility of concrete or clay tiles? We work with a huge range of materials from the UK's leading suppliers to ensure your roof is as durable as it is beautiful. For those living in conservation areas or older properties, we can source like-for-like materials to keep the planners at Shropshire Council happy while giving you all the benefits of modern waterproofing. We also specialise in modern dry ridge and dry verge systems. These are great because they get rid of the need for messy mortar, which often cracks and falls out over time. Instead, these systems provide a mechanical fix that is incredibly secure and virtually maintenance-free. It's just one of the ways we ensure your new roof stands up to whatever the British weather throws at it.

We know that having work done on your home can feel a bit daunting. You might be wondering how much disruption there will be or if there will be hidden costs popping up halfway through. That is why we keep things simple and transparent. Our 'P D Process' starts with a thorough, no-obligation survey of your existing roof. We will give you a detailed quote with no hidden extras, so you know exactly where you stand from day one. Once we get started, our team works efficiently to keep the disruption to your daily life as low as possible. We manage the whole project, including any necessary leadwork around chimneys or valleys, and we always tidy up properly at the end of each day. We're fully insured and stand by our workmanship with a solid guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind. From the first scaffold pole to the final inspection, we're focused on delivering a result that we're proud to put our name to and that you're happy to live under.

We get asked a lot of questions by Wem residents, so here are a few things you might be wondering about. Do I need planning permission for a new roof? Generally, if you're replacing the roof on a like-for-like basis, you don't need planning permission, though it is always worth checking if you live in a listed building or a conservation area. We can help advise on this. How long does a re-roof take? For a standard semi-detached or detached home, you're usually looking at about 5 to 10 working days, depending on the weather. What about insulation? When we replace a roof, it is the perfect time to look at your insulation levels to meet current Building Regulations (Part L), which can help lower your energy bills. Is it worth repairing instead? If more than 20% of your roof is showing signs of failure, a replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run than constant repairs.
