Roof repairs, re-roofing and new roof
construction in Chard. Practical roofing
solutions for existing homes, extensions
and property improvement projects.
A roof does more than keep the rain out.
It protects the structure beneath, helps
maintain the condition of your home and
plays an important part in the appearance
of the building. When roofing materials
begin to fail, dealing with problems early
can help avoid more extensive damage.
Rawlins Renovations provides roofing
services in Chard, covering repairs
to existing roofs, replacement slate and
tile coverings, flat roofing and new roof
construction. We approach each job according
to the property's condition and the work
needed rather than assuming every roof
requires the same solution.
From older homes requiring careful attention
to roof details through to modern properties
being extended or refurbished, roofing often
needs to be considered alongside other
building elements. Our experience with
property renovations
and
home extensions in Chard
allows us to discuss the wider requirements
of a project as well as the roof itself.
Whether a roof needs attention in one area
or a more complete overhaul, the correct
approach depends on the materials, structure
and condition of the property. We undertake
a range of roofing work for homeowners
planning repairs, improvements and new
building projects in Chard.
Roof Repairs & Fault Finding
Leaking roofs, broken tiles, slipped
slates and damaged flashing can all
compromise a property's protection
from the weather. We discuss the
problem, assess the affected area
and consider appropriate repairs
based on the roof's condition.
Complete Re-Roofing
When roof coverings are approaching
the end of their useful life, replacing
them may be more practical than repeated
repairs. Re-roofing work can involve
removing existing materials, checking
the supporting structure and fitting
suitable replacement slate or tiles.
Flat Roofing & Roofline Repairs
Flat roofs require suitable drainage
and properly detailed connections to
surrounding walls and roof sections.
We undertake flat roof installations
and replacements, along with associated
guttering, leadwork and weatherproofing
details where required.
New Roof Structures & Extensions
New roofs are often needed when
extending a home, altering an existing
building or undertaking a new build.
We can incorporate timber roof
construction, structural alterations
and roof coverings into the wider
building programme.
If you're considering roof repairs,
replacement coverings or a new roof
in Chard, these answers cover some
useful points to think about before
arranging the work.
What types of roofing work do you undertake in Chard?
Rawlins Renovations undertakes roof
repairs, replacement roof coverings,
flat roofing, slate and tile work,
leadwork and associated roofline
improvements. We also construct
new roofs as part of extensions,
renovations and new building projects.
The suitability of any work depends
on the property and its requirements.
What are the warning signs of a deteriorating roof?
Signs can include missing or damaged
tiles, slipped slates, recurring leaks,
damp patches in the loft, deteriorating
flashing and visible changes to the
roofline. Some defects are difficult
to identify without closer inspection,
so a proper assessment is useful
before deciding what work is necessary.
Is it better to repair my roof or have it replaced?
A targeted repair can be suitable
where damage is limited and the
surrounding roof remains in reasonable
condition. If the covering is extensively
worn or problems continue to return,
re-roofing may be worth considering.
The decision should take account of
the roof's age, condition, materials
and likely future maintenance.
Can you replace an old tiled roof with new tiles?
Yes, replacement tiled roofing is
among the work we can discuss.
Before choosing materials, it is
important to consider the existing
roof structure, pitch, weight of
the proposed covering and the
appearance of the property.
Some buildings may also be subject
to planning or heritage restrictions.
Can roofing be included in a larger house renovation?
Yes. Roofing can be coordinated
with our
house renovation services in Chard.
This can be useful where the project
involves structural alterations,
changes to the roof layout or
improvements to several parts
of the building at the same time.
What affects the cost of roof repairs or re-roofing?
The cost depends on the size and
pitch of the roof, materials,
accessibility, scaffolding requirements
and whether any underlying timber
or structural repairs are necessary.
A small repair will involve different
work from replacing an entire roof.
We recommend discussing the property
and the proposed work to establish
the next steps towards a quotation.
Are there special roofing rules for older properties in Chard?
Some properties in Chard's historic
areas may be listed or within a
conservation area. Changes to
roofing materials, roof shape or
the external appearance of a building
can require additional consideration
or consent. Before proceeding,
check the property's status and
the relevant requirements with
Somerset Council.
Building Regulations may also apply.
