01 / 11Pitched roofs

Roof repairs

One slipped slate or a strip of cracked flashing lets in enough water to rot battens, stain ceilings and soak insulation. We find where the water is actually getting in, then repair it with materials matched to the rest of your roof.

Most repairs are done in a single visit, and you get photos of the problem and the fix.

Signs you need it

Damp patches or stains on a ceiling
Slates or tiles on the ground after wind
Daylight visible in the loft

What’s included

Leak tracing
Slipped and broken slates or tiles
Ridge, verge and flashing repairs
Storm damage made safe

02 / 11Pitched roofs

New roof installations

A new roof is a once-in-a-generation job, so it has to be right. We build the whole system: timbers checked, breathable membrane, treated battens, your choice of slate or tile, then ridges, verges and roofline.

You get a fixed, itemised price before we start and photographs of each stage as it goes on.

Signs you need it

Building an extension or new home
Roof is 50+ years old and failing in several places
Repairs are becoming a yearly cost

What’s included

Timber inspection
Breathable membrane and treated battens
Slate or tile covering
Ridges, verges and roofline

03 / 11Pitched roofs

Roof replacements

There comes a point where repairing an old roof costs more than replacing it. If you are there, we will show you why with photos or a drone survey, and if you are not, we will tell you that too.

We strip the old covering, repair the timbers, fit new membrane and battens and lay the new roof, usually working in sections so your home stays protected.

Signs you need it

Sagging or uneven roofline
Widespread cracked or delaminating slates
Rotten battens or failed underfelt

What’s included

Safe strip-out and waste removal
Timber repairs
New membrane, battens and covering
Site left clean

04 / 11Pitched roofs

Slate & tiled roofing

From Victorian terraces in Taunton to stone cottages around Wells and Glastonbury, slate and tile are what Somerset roofs are made of. We work in natural and fibre-cement slate and in clay and concrete tiles.

Whether it is one damaged section or a whole roof, we match the covering so it looks right from the street as well as keeping the weather out.

Signs you need it

Patchy, mismatched previous repairs
Moss lifting tiles apart
Broken or delaminating slates

What’s included

Natural and fibre-cement slate
Clay and concrete tiles
Section repairs and full roofs
Colour and profile matching

05 / 11Flat roofs

Flat roofing & EPDM

Old felt flat roofs crack, blister and hold water. We replace them with EPDM rubber: one seamless sheet that stays flexible in frost and heat, shrugs off UV and needs very little looking after.

A flat roof is only as good as what is under it, so we strip back, replace rotten boards with new decking, then fit the membrane with neat trims and outlets.

Signs you need it

Pooling water that does not drain
Blistered or cracked felt
Damp on the ceiling below

What’s included

Old roof stripped
New deck where needed
One-piece EPDM membrane
Trims, upstands and outlets

06 / 11Roofline

Fascias, soffits & guttering

Your roofline has one job: get rainwater off the roof and away from the house. When fascias rot or gutters sag and overflow, that water ends up in your walls and timbers.

We fit uPVC fascias, soffits, guttering and downpipes as a full replacement or as individual repairs, and take the old materials away.

Signs you need it

Gutters overflowing in heavy rain
Peeling or rotten fascia boards
Green streaks or damp on outside walls

What’s included

uPVC fascias and soffits
Gutters and downpipes
Full or part replacement
Old roofline removed

07 / 11Chimneys & lead

Chimney repairs & repointing

Chimneys take the worst of the weather. Frost and rain wash out mortar, loosen brickwork and lift flashing, which makes them one of the most common sources of leaks we are called to.

We repoint and rebuild stacks, replace pots and cowls, and renew the lead flashing at the base. A drone survey is often the quickest way to see what is going on up there.

Signs you need it

Mortar crumbling or missing
Damp on the chimney breast
Leaning stack or loose pots

What’s included

Repointing
Stack rebuilds
Pots and cowls
New lead flashing

08 / 11Pitched roofs

Dry ridge & dry verge

Mortar-bedded ridges and verges crack with age, and in a storm a loose ridge tile can come off altogether. Dry fix systems clip and screw every piece in place.

They hold firm in high wind, let the roof space breathe and need far less maintenance, which makes them a worthwhile upgrade on most pitched roofs.

Signs you need it

Cracked or missing ridge mortar
Loose or rocking ridge tiles
Gaps along the gable edge

What’s included

Old mortar removed
Clip-and-screw ridge system
Dry verge caps
Built-in ventilation

Quote for this or call 07360 558741

09 / 11Chimneys & lead

Leadwork

Lead protects the junctions where water is most likely to get in: around chimneys, down valleys and where a roof meets a wall.

We fit and repair leadwork to the right codes and laps so it moves with the building and stays watertight for decades, and it keeps the traditional look many Somerset homes rely on.

Signs you need it

Lead lifting or split
Leaks where a roof meets a wall
Staining below a valley

What’s included

Chimney flashings
Valleys
Abutments and aprons
Correct codes and laps

10 / 11Surveys & care

Roof inspections & drone surveys

Many roof problems cannot be seen from the ground. Where access is awkward we fly a drone over the roof and photograph every slope, ridge, valley and chimney.

You see exactly what we see. We talk you through it in plain English: what needs doing now, what can wait and what does not need doing at all.

Signs you need it

Buying or selling a property
A leak you cannot trace
After a storm, for peace of mind

What’s included

Drone photographs
In-person inspection
Plain-English findings
Honest priorities

11 / 11Surveys & care

General property maintenance

Alongside roofing we take on general external maintenance, from small repairs to preventative work that stops bigger problems developing.

It means one call to a team you already trust instead of chasing several trades, with the same standard of work whatever the size of the job.

Signs you need it

Small jobs piling up
Blocked or mossy gutters and roofs
Preparing a home to sell or let

What’s included

External repairs
Roof cleaning
Preventative checks
One point of contact

How it works

From first call to final photo.

The same four steps whatever the job.

Step 1

Tell us what’s wrong

Call, email or use the quote form. A photo helps, but it isn’t essential.

Step 2

We come and look

A proper inspection in person, with the drone where access is awkward. You see what we find.

Step 3

Itemised quote

A written price that shows what needs doing now and what can wait. No pressure.

Step 4

Work done, site cleared

We turn up when we say, keep things tidy and send before-and-after photos.

Good to know

Questions we’re asked most.

Ask us something else

Do you charge for quotes?

No. Every quote is free and comes with no obligation. We look at the roof, explain what we find and give you a written, itemised price.

Are you insured?

Yes. SLJ Property Services is fully insured, so you are covered while we work on your home.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Somerset, including Glastonbury, Wells, Street, Shepton Mallet, Yeovil, Frome, Bridgwater, Taunton and the towns and villages in between.

Can you inspect my roof without scaffolding?

Often, yes. Where access is difficult we use a drone to photograph the whole roof, so you can see the problem before paying for scaffolding.

Should I repair or replace my roof?

It depends on the age and condition of the whole roof, not one leak. We will show you photos and tell you honestly which makes more sense, even when the answer is the cheaper one.

What should I do about an active leak?

Call us on 07360 558741. Move anything valuable, catch the water and, if it is safe, take a photo of where it is coming in. We will get to you as quickly as we can.
