New Roofs for Homes in Bridgnorth
Re-roofing in Bridgnorth is heritage project work, steep clay roofs stripped and rebuilt with salvage rates that decide their economics, slates relaid over new membrane on the Victorian streets, and detailing, swept valleys, bonnet hips, tile-and-a-half courses, that most modern roofers never meet. We enjoy exactly that.
We cover Bridgnorth and the surrounding area: High Town, Low Town, Oldbury edge, Tasley side, Stanmore and beyond (WV16).

What’s Included
Old timber gets assessed as the roof opens and repaired sympathetically, conservation requirements get respected as standard, and the finished roof should look inevitable, as if the town simply grew it back. Cliff-top jobs add exposure planning, no roof stands open to that valley wind overnight.
- Stripped to the rafters, timbers checked and repaired
- Breathable membrane and treated battens throughout
- Concrete tile, clay tile, natural or fibre cement slate
- Dry ridge and dry verge systems as standard
- New lead flashings, chimney work while the scaffold is up
- Waste cleared daily, site left tidy
How It Works
New Roofs in Bridgnorth, FAQs
Often a substantial share, sound plain tiles rehang happily, and we salvage carefully, top up with matched reclaimed, and keep the weathered face of the roof on show. The salvage rate gets assessed honestly up front because it drives the price.
Usually they just confirm what we would do anyway, like-for-like materials and details. Where consent applies we identify it before pricing and build the process into the timeline, no surprises mid-scaffold.
The felt is usually the decider. If the membrane under the tiles has gone brittle and torn across large areas, every repair is temporary because water finds the next tear. Widespread nail failure and constant slipped tiles point the same way. We will tell you straight which category your roof is in, and quote a repair instead if that is the honest answer.
Ridge and hip tiles were traditionally bedded on mortar, which cracks with the seasons and eventually lets tiles come loose. A dry ridge system clamps them mechanically with screws and brackets, allows the roof to breathe, and does not need rebedding every few years. It costs a little more on day one and saves money every year after.
It comes down to the house, the street and the budget. Natural slate looks superb on older houses and lasts generations; fibre cement slate gives a similar look for less; concrete tiles are the workhorse choice. We bring samples and give you prices for each so you can compare properly.
