Street sits about seven miles from our base in Wells, next door to Glastonbury, and we treat the whole of BA16 as local work.
We take on GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and felt flat roofing across the town, on domestic extensions and garages as well as the retail and light industrial units around the edges.
What Street rooftops are usually like
Street grew around the Clarks shoe business, and a lot of the town is nineteenth and early twentieth century terraced and semi-detached housing built for that workforce. Those properties commonly have flat-roofed rear outriggers and back additions, often re-covered more than once over the years and now on their third or fourth layer of felt.
Alongside them are the later estates and the retail buildings around Clarks Village, where the flat roofs are larger, simpler and more likely to be commercial specification. Both types come to us for the same reasons: age, ponding, and detailing that has failed at the edges.
What we get called out for in Street
- Rear outrigger and back addition roofs on older terraces, where layers of old felt have built up
- Garage roofs on the post-war estates that have reached the end of their original covering
- Water pooling behind a raised edge or a blocked outlet
- Perished flashings where a flat roof meets a rendered or stone wall
- Larger commercial and retail flat roofs needing repair or full replacement
- Fascia, soffit and gutter renewal at the same time as the roof, which is usually cheaper than doing it as a separate visit
Getting to you in Street

Flat roofing questions we get asked in Street
My back addition has been felted over several times. Is that a problem?
It usually is. Each layer adds weight and hides what is happening to the deck underneath, and it makes any future leak much harder to trace. On older Street terraces we normally recommend a full strip back to the deck so we can see what we are working on.
Do you take on commercial flat roofs in Street?
Yes. We work on retail, light industrial and commercial units as well as houses, and we can work around opening hours where that matters.
How long does a typical garage roof take?
Most single garage re-covers are a one or two day job depending on the covering and whether the deck needs replacing. We will give you a realistic timescale in the quote.
