Taunton is the county town and the largest place we cover, roughly twenty five miles south west of our base in Wells. We work across the TA postcodes on both domestic and commercial flat roofing.
GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and felt are all part of what we do, from a single leaking garage through to a full commercial re-cover.
What Taunton rooftops are usually like
Taunton has a very large stock of mid twentieth century housing, and with it a lot of flat roofs. Attached and detached garages, single storey rear extensions, flat-roofed dormers and porch canopies are all common across the 1960s to 1980s estates, and a high proportion are still on coverings that were only ever expected to last a couple of decades.
The town also has substantial commercial, retail and light industrial stock with larger flat roofs, where the issues are usually about outlets, upstands and repeated patching rather than the field of the roof itself.
What we get called out for in Taunton
- Garage and extension roofs from the 1960s to 1980s that have reached the end of their felt
- Flat-roofed dormers leaking at the junction with the pitched roof
- Commercial roofs where years of patch repairs have stopped holding
- Blocked or undersized outlets causing water to back up on larger roofs
- Deck replacement where the timber has softened under a long-standing leak
- Full re-cover in GRP or EPDM where a roof is beyond economical repair
Getting to you in Taunton
Taunton is a longer run for us than our Mendip work, so we tend to group Taunton jobs together where we can. That does not change the price and there is still no call-out charge, but it does mean it is worth calling early rather than waiting for a small leak to become an emergency.
Postcodes covered: TA1 to TA4, plus the surrounding villages.
Flat roofing questions we get asked in Taunton
Do you take on commercial flat roofs in Taunton?
Yes. We work on commercial, retail and light industrial units as well as houses, and we can plan the work around trading hours where that is needed.
Is it worth repairing an old felt roof or replacing it?
It depends how much life is left in the deck and how much of the covering has gone. If a roof has been patched several times already, repairs usually stop being good value. We will give you an honest view at the survey, including when we think a repair is the sensible option.
How far around Taunton do you cover?
The TA postcodes generally, including the villages around the town. If you are not sure whether you are in range, call and ask.
