We provide specialist roof replacement across Purton — from the Church Street stone cottages to the modern estates at Pavenhill and Ridgeway Farm. Purton is 5 miles from our Swindon base, giving fast response times with the right expertise for local conditions.
Every Purton re-roof follows the same proven process: free survey, written specification, scaffold, strip, timber inspection, breathable membrane, new battens, new tiles with stainless steel fixings, ridge and hip completion, final checks, scaffold down. Your home is watertight every night — we never leave an exposed roof overnight.
For post-war estates across Pavenhill and Ridgeway Farm, Marley Ludlow Plus or Redland 49 concrete interlocking tiles are the standard — proven, cost-effective and profile-matched to the existing streetscape. For the Church Street stone cottages, we specify natural slate or handmade clay depending on the property's character and any conservation requirements.
A re-roof is the ideal time to upgrade loft insulation and ventilation — the roof is already stripped, so the additional cost is minimal. We install tile vents at eaves and ridge for continuous airflow, and can fit rigid insulation above the rafters for warm roof conversion. All work meets current Building Regulations.
A full re-roof in Purton must account for exposed ridge-top position. The Pavenhill and Ridgeway Farm are entering the re-roof window as original 1970s–80s tile fixings corrode. The Church Street stone cottages need sympathetic material choices. We've re-roofed extensively across Purton and know the specific specifications needed.

"Needed a sympathetic re-roof on our older property. They sourced appropriate tiles, used correct mortar, and the result is beautiful. Exactly the care these old buildings deserve."
"Our concrete tiles were shot — nail sickness everywhere. They surveyed, quoted, and completed the re-roof within two weeks of first contact. Professional from start to finish."
A 3-bed semi: £4,500–£7,000 in concrete tile, £7,000–£11,000 in slate. Larger detached properties: £8,000–£15,000. We include scaffold in all quotes and provide free surveys. A standard 3-bed semi re-roof costs £4,500–£7,000 with concrete tiles. Conservation areas add 20–40% for period-correct materials. Building Regulations compliance and scaffold are included. See our new roof cost guide.
A standard 3-bed semi: 3–5 working days. Larger properties: 5–8 days. We schedule around weather and keep you informed throughout. Concrete interlocking tiles: 40–60 years. Clay tiles: 60–100 years. Natural slate: 100–150+ years (NFRC guidance). All depend on correct installation with stainless fixings. See our roof lifespan guide.
Usually yes. We check the existing timber structure can support the new tile weight. Upgrading from concrete to slate is common — we confirm structural adequacy during the free survey. Every re-roof includes Building Regulations notification, breathable membrane, stainless fixings and our 10-year workmanship guarantee. See our replacement service page.
Yes — scaffolding is always required for safety and efficiency. It's included in our quotes. We arrange everything — you don't need to organise scaffold separately. Every re-roof includes Building Regulations notification, breathable membrane, stainless fixings and our 10-year workmanship guarantee. See our replacement service page.

Purton stretches along an east-west ridge at 100m, exposed from both sides with no shelter from the flat farmland surrounding it. Western-end properties around the church catch Atlantic systems first, while eastern-end properties face Cotswold cold fronts. The new Ridgeway Farm estate is already showing builder-grade guttering failures within 5 years of construction.
Our re-roofing process follows a proven sequence: scaffold, strip existing tiles and felt, inspect every rafter and purlin, splice or sister any weakened timbers, lay breathable roofing membrane, fix new treated battens at the correct gauge, lay your chosen tile with stainless steel fixings, complete ridge and hip work, final checks and site clearance. Your home is watertight every evening — we never leave an exposed roof overnight.
We are NFRC registered, carry £5m public liability insurance, and provide a written 10-year workmanship guarantee on every job. We know Purton's housing stock, its specific climate challenges, and the materials that work best in local conditions. We do not subcontract — our own team handles every job from survey to completion. Call 0179 329 7084 for a free quote.
Day one: scaffold erected early morning, stripping begins by mid-morning. We work systematically across the roof, stripping tiles, removing felt and battens, and inspecting every timber member as it is exposed. Any rafter or purlin with rot, splitting or excessive moisture content is spliced or sistered with new treated timber. By end of day one, the new breathable membrane is laid over the inspected and repaired structure. Days two and three: new battens fixed at the correct gauge for your tile, tiles laid from eaves to ridge with stainless steel nails. Day four: ridge tiles bedded and mechanically fixed, lead flashings dressed, final checks. Day five for larger properties. Your home is weathertight every single evening.
We clear all debris, remove scaffold, and leave your property clean. We provide a written completion certificate with your 10-year workmanship guarantee. We handle Building Control notification and sign-off. We are available by phone if you have any questions in the weeks and months after completion. A good roofer does not disappear after the invoice is paid — we stand behind our work for the long term.
Our re-roofing specification exceeds Building Regulations minimum requirements. We use Tyvek Supro or equivalent breathable roofing membrane rather than traditional non-breathable felt — this eliminates the condensation problems that plague older roof constructions. All battens are treated softwood at the correct gauge for the specified tile. Every tile is mechanically fixed with A2 stainless steel nails — on exposed sites we add tile clips for enhanced wind resistance. Ridge tiles are bedded in a flexible mortar mix and mechanically fixed with stainless ridge screws. Valleys are lined in code 4 milled lead with 75mm side laps and welted central drip. We install tile vents at eaves and ridge for continuous ventilation.
Written 10-year workmanship guarantee on every re-roof. Tile manufacturer warranty — typically 30 years for concrete interlocking, 75+ years for natural slate, 60+ years for machine-made clay. Breathable membrane carries a 30-year manufacturer guarantee. Stainless steel fixings will never corrode — eliminating the nail sickness problem that is destroying the current generation of Swindon roofs.
The most common feedback we receive after a re-roof is surprise at how quickly and cleanly the work was done. Homeowners expect disruption — noise, mess, weeks of scaffolding. In reality, a typical Swindon semi is re-roofed in 3-5 working days. We work efficiently because we do this every day, we plan each job in advance with materials pre-ordered and scaffold scheduled, and we follow a systematic process that minimises wasted time. We protect your garden with ground sheets. We skip all debris daily. We sweep the site at the end of every working day. And we take the scaffold down the moment the roof is complete. The only lasting evidence of our work is a roof that looks new and performs perfectly.
The ridge-top wind exposure along Purton's linear layout means we fix every tile mechanically and specify enhanced verge details on both eastern and western gable ends. Properties at the western end near Purton Stoke get the Atlantic weather first; properties at the eastern end face Swindon's plateau winds.
