Roofers in Wellington

Wellington is a Somerset market town in the Vale of Taunton Deane, a former woollen-cloth centre at the foot of the Blackdown Hills, with a handsome high street and surrounding Victorian and modern housing. The older stock wears clay tile and natural slate, so repairs on the historic buildings call for matching traditional materials, while the newer estates run to interlocking concrete tile with flat-roofed additions.

Set inland below the Blackdowns in the mild, wet South West, Wellington takes high rainfall that encourages moss on shaded slopes and keeps gutters and valleys working, though it is spared heavy salt. Owners of the older stock should match clay tile or slate on repairs and stay ahead of moss and gutter clearance in the damp climate. On the newer housing the recurring question is whether a tiring tile or flat roof merits another repair or a replacement. Keep rainwater goods clear, hold ridges sound against hill winds, and watch chimney flashings on the older buildings.
