Roofers in Frome

Frome is a characterful Somerset town of steep cobbled lanes — Catherine Hill and the medieval Trinity area among the finest — built on the wealth of the woollen-cloth trade, with Georgian clothiers' houses and weavers' cottages in local stone. The older stock is roofed in clay tile and natural slate, so repairs call for matching traditional materials and lime-based detailing, while the surrounding estates run to interlocking concrete tile.

Set inland on the River Frome in east Somerset, the town is spared salt but takes a wet climate, and the steep streets make access a real consideration while the riverside ground brings damp. Owners of the historic stock should match clay tile or slate bedded in lime, settle conservation consent before visible changes in the protected core, and use a roofer comfortable on the steep hillside plots. On the newer housing the usual overhaul-or-replace judgement applies, with rainwater goods kept clear and flashings sound.
