Roofers in Melksham SN12

Melksham's a straightforward run north for us — about twenty minutes from the yard, less if the traffic through Shaw is kind. The town itself keeps a small Georgian core around the Market Place and the old Town Hall, but most of what we're called out to sits well beyond that: Bowerhill and the estates spreading east are some of the biggest housing growth in the area, built on the back of the town's industrial past — the old Avon Rubber works rather than anything postcard-pretty.

That newer stock is what makes Melksham different from the heritage towns we cover. Concrete interlocking tile went up across most of these estates from the 1970s onwards, and a lot of it's now old enough that nail fatigue, slipped tiles and perished felt underlay are turning up as a matter of course, alongside uPVC fascias, soffits and plastic guttering reaching the end of their working life. Extensions and conservatories add flat roofs into the mix — felt and EPDM mostly. Worth saying plainly: a thirty-year-old estate roof asking for attention is usually still a repair job, not an automatic full replacement.
