New Roofs for Homes in Wombourne
Re-roofing in Wombourne means bigger, better-shaped roofs than the standard semi, and quoting them properly means measuring the hips, valleys and dormers rather than waving at the ridge. We strip to the timbers, renew membrane and battens, and recover with tiles suited to the house, with hips and ridges dry-fixed and valleys in long-life linings.
We cover Wombourne and the surrounding area: The Village core, Ounsdale, Blakeley, Giggetty, Bratch and beyond (WV5).

How It Works
New Roofs in Wombourne, FAQs
Somewhat more per square metre, hips add cutting, junction work and materials, and Wombourne’s roofs often carry two or three of them. The honest way to price it is a proper measure and a written itemised quote, which is exactly what you get.
Breathable membrane, treated battens, dry-fixed hips and ridges, quality valley linings and renewed flashings, in short, nothing left on the roof that needs maintenance on a schedule. Done that way, a Wombourne re-roof should outlast the mortgage-free years with room to spare.
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.
A typical semi takes around a week from scaffold up to scaffold down, weather permitting. Bigger roofs, slate work and chimney rebuilds add time. You get a realistic timeline with the quote, not a guess.
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.
