Roof Repairs

The most common call we take — and usually the cheapest to fix when caught early.

What is included

  • Slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates
  • Leak finding and repair
  • Chimney flashing and lead work
  • Ridge tiles, flaunching and mortar work
  • Storm damage repairs
  • Fascia, soffit and gutter repairs

What to expect

Most repairs are quoted from a quick visit and photos, with straightforward jobs often completed the same week. Typical roof repairs in the Taunton area run from around £150 for a simple tile fix to £600+ for larger works — you'll have a price before anything starts.

Roof Replacement

The biggest job on this page, done once and done properly, with the price broken down before a tile moves.

What is included

  • Full strip and re-roof
  • New battens, breathable membrane and insulation upgrades
  • Slate, clay and concrete tile
  • Leadwork, valleys and ridge detailing
  • Scaffolding arranged
  • Waste removal included

What to expect

A survey first, then a written quote with no obligation. Most Taunton re-roofs take one to two weeks depending on size and weather, priced by roof area and material — with a clear breakdown before any work starts.

Flat Roofing

Flat roofs fail differently to pitched ones — the fix depends on the system, and the advice starts with which one you've got.

What is included

  • Flat roof leak repairs
  • EPDM rubber roofing
  • GRP fibreglass systems
  • Torch-on felt systems
  • Warm and cold roof build-ups
  • Ponding and drainage fixes

What to expect

Honest advice on repair versus replace — a sound flat roof can often be patched, but a tired one wastes money in repeat fixes. Replacement systems come with long manufacturer material guarantees.

Emergency Roofing

For when it can't wait until Monday — this is the service the answered phone exists for.

What is included

  • Emergency tarping and make-safe
  • Storm and wind damage
  • Active leak response
  • Insurance claim photos and reports
  • Out-of-hours calls answered

What to expect

Call any time — the phone is answered evenings and weekends, details are taken immediately, and urgent jobs are flagged straight to the roofer. If anything looks dangerous, loose tiles over a doorway or a sagging area, say so on the call and keep clear of it meanwhile.

Chimney Work

The most exposed brickwork on the house, and the source of more mystery leaks than the roof itself.

What is included

  • Chimney repointing and flaunching repairs
  • Lead flashing renewal around the stack
  • Capping, cowls and vent installation
  • Leak investigation and damp tracing
  • Partial rebuilds of damaged stacks

What to expect

Crumbling mortar, white staining or damp near the chimney breast are the usual early warnings. Minor chimney repairs in the Taunton area typically run £150–£500; full repointing is usually £500–£1,200, with scaffolding itemised in the quote where height demands it — never a surprise extra.

Guttering, Fascias & Soffits

Unglamorous, inexpensive, and the cheapest insurance against damp you can buy.

What is included

  • Gutter repairs, resealing and realignment
  • New uPVC guttering — half round, square and deep flow
  • Fascia and soffit replacement
  • Downpipe unblocking and renewal
  • Gutter cleaning and debris clearance

What to expect

Overflowing gutters are usually a cheap clean or a simple joint fix — not a replacement. Where boards are rotten or runs are past saving, a new colour-matched uPVC roofline is quoted per metre with everything itemised, and honest advice on which side of that line your roofline sits.

Frequently asked questions

How much does roof repair cost in Taunton?

Most roof repairs in the Taunton area cost between £150 and £600, depending on access and the number of tiles involved. Bigger works like chimney re-flashing run higher, and you'll always have a price before any work starts. Industry figures put the average UK roof repair at around £1,100 — but simple tile fixes come in far below that.

How quickly can someone look at my roof?

Urgent leaks are flagged to the roofer immediately — often same-day for make-safes. Routine repairs are usually surveyed within a few days. Calls are answered evenings and weekends, so you don't have to wait until Monday to get things moving.

Are you a roofing company?

We're a local Taunton service that connects homeowners with one vetted, established roofing contractor — and we handle the part most roofers struggle with: answering the phone. Your job is carried out by the contractor, with your details passed to him directly and nothing lost to voicemail.

Do I need a full re-roof or just a repair?

A good rule: if repairs are needed more than once a year, or the roof is 40+ years old with widespread slipped tiles, replacement usually costs less over ten years than repeat patching. A survey will tell you honestly which side your roof falls on.

Will the roofer help with my insurance claim after storm damage?

The contractor can provide dated photos, a written damage report and a repair quote — the three things insurers ask for. The claim is yours to make, but you'll have everything needed to make it.

How much does chimney repointing cost in Taunton?

Typical chimney repointing runs £500–£1,200 for the pointing itself, with scaffolding adding more where the stack can't be reached safely otherwise. Smaller fixes — flaunching cracks, a slipped flashing — often come in between £150 and £500. Crumbling mortar and white staining are the signs it's due.

Do you handle gutter cleaning and repairs?

Yes — clearance, unblocking downpipes, resealing joints and full replacements in uPVC. A standard gutter clean is one of the cheapest jobs on this page and prevents some of the most expensive damp problems in a house.

Why is it so hard to get a roofer to call back?

Because good roofers are on roofs — and a ringing phone in a pocket at height goes unanswered, then forgotten. That's the exact problem this service exists to fix: your call is answered, the details are captured properly, and the roofer receives them in writing instead of a missed-call notification.

Does home insurance cover roof or chimney damage?

Usually yes for sudden events — storm damage, a fallen branch — and usually no for gradual wear like old mortar or perished felt. For storm claims, insurers want dated photos, a damage report and a repair quote, all of which the contractor can provide after inspection.
