Shepton Mallet is around six miles east of Wells, so it is well inside our core working area along with the villages around it such as Croscombe, Pilton, Doulting and Evercreech.
We cover GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofing, from small repairs through to full strip and re-cover jobs on houses, extensions and commercial buildings.
What Shepton Mallet rooftops are usually like
Shepton is an old market town built on a slope, in local stone, with a compact historic centre and a good number of period and former industrial buildings. Flat roof work in that part of town is often about awkward junctions: roofs that meet tall stone walls, parapets, box gutters, and small sections squeezed between pitched roofs.
The residential estates further out are the more standard picture, with flat-roofed garages, extensions and dormers dating largely from the 1960s onwards. Those are the roofs where a modern GRP or EPDM covering makes the most obvious difference against the old felt it replaces.
What we get called out for in Shepton Mallet
- Leaks where a flat roof abuts a tall stone wall and the flashing or upstand has failed
- Box gutters and parapet detailing on older town centre property
- Original felt failing on estate garages and extensions
- Ponding caused by inadequate falls, which we correct with firrings when we re-deck
- Dormer roofs on converted lofts leaking at the cheeks or the front edge
- Damp proofing and roofing issues that overlap, which we can look at together
Getting to you in Shepton Mallet
Shepton is a short drive from our base and we treat it as local. We do not charge to come out and look, and we will not quote a flat roof over the phone. If a roof is leaking now, we can often make it safe on the first visit and book the permanent repair afterwards.
Postcodes covered: BA4, plus the surrounding villages.
Flat roofing questions we get asked in Shepton Mallet
Can you work on stone-built and older properties?
Yes. A lot of our work around Shepton and the Mendip villages is on older stone property, which usually means more careful detailing at the junctions rather than a different covering.
Do you fix ponding, or just re-cover over it?
Where the ponding is caused by the falls, re-covering alone will not fix it. If we are stripping back to the deck we can build in correct falls with firring pieces so the water actually runs off.
Do you cover the villages outside town?
Yes, the whole of BA4 including Croscombe, Pilton, Doulting, Evercreech and the surrounding lanes.
