Roofing services we offer in Yeovil

Owners of newer estate homes often call about ridge tiles and gutter overflow; older Hamstone homes more often need chimney and lead work.

Local context

Local Hamstone houses, Victorian terraces, 70s and 80s estates and large new-build developments to the west and north of the town.

Open ridges around Yeovil catch wind, and we frequently see ridge tile and dry-verge problems after stormy spells.

Hamstone properties in conservation pockets need matched stone-coloured pointing and natural materials where work is visible.

Postcodes covered: BA20, BA21, BA22.
