The team at A. Roofer are committed to keeping a sound roof over the heads of householders and businesses in South West England and the beautiful Cotswolds region. We specialise in Cotswold Stone roof tiling, but we are also experts in a range of other types of roofing from old traditional methods to the very latest technological roofing systems. We offer a wide range of roofing services – including guttering replacement – all aimed at keeping your roof water-tight, weatherproof and in good repair. We also install replacement roofs or new roofs on new builds, extensions or outbuildings. Our professional roofing services aimed at keeping your roof performing properly include:
Flat roofs have an historically bad reputation for durability and waterproofing, but they remain popular options for home extensions, garages and certain commercial buildings. With modern flat roofing systems such as EPDM rubber roofing or GRP fiberglass roofing there is no danger of leaks, and a flat roof can last for decades.
We’re experts at installing, repairing and replacing flat roofs with the very latest roofing systems. We’ll advise on the best system to suit the situation and your budget, so you’ll end up with the best, most efficient flat roofing solution available.
Pitched roofs are the conventional roofing style for most residential buildings, designed to facilitate drainage, be low maintenance and protect the building below from the elements. If pitched roofs are kept in good condition – and that includes keeping the guttering and other roof trim in good order – they seldom need replacing. Repairs might be necessary if tiles break, crack or come loose, allowing the roof timbers to become wet.
We undertake repairs and maintenance of pitched roofs across West Wiltshire and in a wide radius of our home town of Chippenham. We also install new roofs and replace roofs that require renovation. We’re skilled at tiling, repairing underlay and structural roof timbers.
Lead has been used as a roofing material for hundreds of years, and remains a reliable, durable and, attractive choice today, especially for heritage character buildings. Great pluses for the use of lead in roofing are that it is flexible, recyclable and corrosion-resistant.
Lead roofing performs optimally and can last a lifetime if it is well installed. If lead roofs fail it is usually down to bad fitment and not being properly secured in the first place.
We’re highly experienced in laying and conforming lead flashing and cladding with adequate overlaps on pitched roofs, flat roofs and bay windows, working to a high professional standard.
Timber roofing is unrivalled for its insulation properties, and is becoming more popular because of its attractive appearance which mellows with age.
Timber roofing tiles are known as shingles or shakes and are usually cedar wood. Cedar contains a natural preservative which makes cedar shingles very durable. They are also lightweight, very rigid and have great resistance to weather and temperature extremes.
Roofing with cedar shingles is a specialised job that requires nailing each shingle to the roofing battens in a configuration designed to accommodate the pitch of the roof or the roof’s structural details.
