Roofing Services in Wiltshire — Installations, Repairs & Maintenance

Domestic & Commercial Roofing Services Across All of Wiltshire

GWR Roofing Ltd is a Swindon-based roofing company covering the whole of Wiltshire. We carry out roof repairs, new roof installations, flat roofing, chimney repairs, lead roofing, guttering, uPVC fascias and soffits, dry verge and ridge systems, and Velux window installations for both residential and commercial properties.

Wiltshire has a wide mix of property types — the 1950s–1980s housing estates across Swindon and the larger towns, the period stone-built properties in the market towns like Marlborough, Devizes and Corsham, the Georgian and Victorian terraces in Salisbury, and the rural cottages and farmhouses across the county. We have worked on all of them and understand the specific roof types, materials and repair patterns common to each area.

Every job is quoted in writing with a fixed price before we start. We are fully insured, we do not use subcontractors, and all new roofs carry our company guarantee. Call 0800 191 0841 for a free quote or roof inspection anywhere in Wiltshire.

Roof Repairs & Emergency Roof Repairs in Wiltshire

Same-Day and Next-Day Emergency Call-Outs Across Wiltshire

Roof damage does not wait for a convenient time. Whether it is a storm that has dislodged ridge tiles, a sudden leak through a failed flashing, or wind damage that has stripped a section of tiles, GWR Roofing Ltd provides emergency roof repairs across Wiltshire.

We aim to attend emergency call-outs the same day or next working day. Our priority on arrival is to make the roof safe and watertight — either with a permanent repair or a secure temporary fix — to stop further water damage to the property inside. Once the immediate problem is resolved, we can quote for any follow-up work that may be needed.

Call 0800 191 0841 for all emergency roof repairs in Wiltshire.

Emergency Leak Repairs

A roof leak can cause rapid damage to ceilings, plaster, electrics and insulation. We trace the source of the leak — which is not always directly above the damp patch — and carry out a lasting repair. Common causes include cracked or slipped tiles, failed lead flashing around chimneys, perished flat roof coverings and blocked valleys.

Storm Damage Repairs

High winds, heavy rain and falling debris can dislodge ridge tiles, strip sections of tile or slate, and lift flat roof coverings. We make the roof safe on arrival, then carry out a full inspection to identify all damage — including areas that may not be visible from ground level. We provide a written quote for all necessary repairs and can liaise with your insurer if you are making a claim.

Tile & Slate Repairs

Cracked, slipped or missing tiles and slates are among the most common repair jobs across Wiltshire. We replace broken concrete and clay tiles, re-fix slipped slates, and source matching replacements where the original is no longer manufactured. Our roofers carry common tiles and fixings on the van so that straightforward repairs can often be completed on the first visit.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing in Wiltshire

New Roof Installations & Full Re-Roofing Across Wiltshire

If your roof has reached the end of its life — or you are building an extension that needs a new roof section — GWR Roofing Ltd carries out new roof installations and full re-roofing across Wiltshire. We strip the existing covering, inspect the rafters, battens and felt, replace anything that needs replacing, and install a new roof with breathable membrane, treated battens and your choice of tile, slate or flat roofing system.

We supply materials from Marley, Redland and other established manufacturers, and we source reclaimed Welsh slate for period properties in the Wiltshire market towns where a like-for-like match is needed. Every new roof is quoted as a fixed price including scaffold, materials, labour and waste removal. Call 0800 191 0841 for a free new roof quote anywhere in Wiltshire.

Pitched Roof Installations

We install pitched roofs using concrete tiles (Marley, Redland), clay tiles and natural slate. The material choice depends on your property type, planning requirements (particularly in conservation areas across Wiltshire) and budget. For re-roofs, we match the existing tile or slate where possible. For new builds and extensions, we work to the architect's specification.

Flat Roof Installations

We install GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber flat roofs on garages, extensions, dormers and commercial buildings across Wiltshire. Both systems are fully bonded, watertight and carry manufacturer-backed guarantees. GRP is the most common choice for domestic extensions and garage roofs, while EPDM suits larger commercial areas.

Full Roof Replacement

A full re-roof involves stripping the existing tiles or slates, replacing the felt and battens, and laying a new roof covering. This is the right option when the underlayment has perished across the whole roof, when the existing tiles are beyond economic repair, or when the property is being refurbished. We manage the full project from scaffold through to completion and leave the roof safe and weathertight at the end of each working day.

Flat Roofing in Wiltshire

Flat Roofing Services for Homes & Businesses in Wiltshire

GWR Roofing Ltd installs and repairs flat roofs across Wiltshire using GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber and high-performance felt systems. Flat roofs are found on garages, extensions, dormers, porches and commercial units throughout the county — and the most common reason we are called out is a failing felt roof that has reached the end of its life.

We strip the existing covering back to the deck, inspect and replace any rotten boards, and install a new flat roofing system with a manufacturer-backed guarantee. All flat roof work is quoted as a fixed price with no hidden extras.

EPDM Flat Roofs

EPDM is a single-ply rubber membrane that is laid in one piece across the roof deck, eliminating joints and seams that can fail over time. It is flexible, UV-resistant and has a typical lifespan of 25 to 30 years. EPDM is well suited to larger flat roof areas on commercial buildings and extensions where a seamless, low-maintenance covering is required.

GRP Fibreglass Flat Roofs

GRP (glass reinforced polyester) is the most common flat roofing system we install on domestic properties across Wiltshire. It is laid as a laminate of resin and glass fibre matting over the roof deck, creating a hard, seamless, fully bonded surface with no joints. GRP roofs typically carry a 20 to 25-year manufacturer guarantee and are virtually maintenance-free once installed. They are the standard choice for garage roofs, extension roofs and dormer tops.

Flat Roof Repairs

We repair all types of flat roofs including felt, GRP and EPDM. Common problems include blistering, cracking, ponding water, failed upstands and leaking joints. Where the existing covering is beyond economic repair, we will recommend a full replacement rather than patching a roof that will continue to fail. We provide honest assessments and clear pricing on every job.

Lead Roofing & Leadwork in Wiltshire

Lead Flashing, Valleys, Dormers & Gutters Across Wiltshire

GWR Roofing Ltd carries out lead roofing and leadwork across Wiltshire for both residential and commercial properties. Lead is used for chimney flashings, roof valleys, dormer coverings, bay tops, parapet gutters and other details where a flexible, long-lasting weatherproof seal is needed. We work with correctly graded lead sheet and follow Lead Sheet Association guidelines to ensure every installation is detailed properly and built to last.

Lead Roof Installations

We install new lead roofing on dormers, bay tops, flat roof sections and any area where lead sheet is the specified covering. Lead is common on older properties across Wiltshire's market towns — particularly in Marlborough, Devizes, Corsham and Salisbury — where traditional materials are required to match the existing building character.

Lead Flashing & Repairs

We install new step flashings, cover flashings, chimney back gutters and apron flashings, and we repair or replace existing leadwork that has cracked, lifted or failed. Lead flashing failure is one of the most common causes of chimney leaks on older properties across Wiltshire — if you have damp patches near a chimney or dormer, the flashing is the first thing to check.

For lead roofing and leadwork anywhere in Wiltshire, call GWR Roofing Ltd on 0800 191 0841 for a free, no-obligation quote.

Slate & Tile Roofing in Wiltshire

Natural Slate, Reclaimed Welsh Slate, Concrete & Clay Tile Roofing

GWR Roofing Ltd installs and repairs slate and tile roofs across Wiltshire. Slate and tile are the most common pitched roof coverings on properties throughout the county — from the natural Welsh slate found on the Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Salisbury to the concrete interlocking tiles on the post-war housing estates across Swindon, Chippenham and Trowbridge.

We work with natural slate (new and reclaimed Welsh slate), concrete tiles (Marley, Redland), and clay tiles including plain tiles and pantiles. Whether you need a complete re-roof, a section of replacement tiles, or individual slate repairs, our team handles the full scope of work and sources matching materials where a like-for-like finish is needed.

Chimney Repairs in Wiltshire

Chimney Repair Services Across Wiltshire

GWR Roofing Ltd carries out chimney repairs across Wiltshire including repointing, lead flashing replacement, chimney stack rebuilds, crown and cap repairs, and full chimney removals where the stack is no longer needed. Chimney problems are one of the most common sources of roof leaks on older properties throughout Wiltshire — particularly where the original mortar and flashing have deteriorated over decades of exposure.

Chimney repointing and leadwork repair on a Victorian property by GWR Roofing Ltd

Chimney Stack Repairs

The chimney stack is the most exposed part of any roof — it takes the full force of wind and rain from every direction. Over time, the mortar joints erode, bricks crack and the stack can become unstable. We carry out chimney stack repointing, brick replacement and full stack rebuilds where the deterioration has gone too far for repointing alone.

Chimney Flashing Repairs

Lead flashing around the base of the chimney is the seal between the chimney stack and the roof surface. When it cracks, lifts or pulls away from the brickwork, water runs down the inside of the chimney and into the property. We replace chimney flashings using correctly graded lead sheet with proper stepped joints let into the mortar courses — not surface-applied sealant, which is a temporary fix that fails again quickly.

Chimney Crown & Cap Repairs

The chimney crown (or flaunching) is the mortar bed on top of the stack that holds the pots in place and sheds water away from the flue opening. Cracked or crumbling crowns allow water into the stack, which can cause damp, frost damage and deterioration of the flue liner. We rebuild chimney crowns using a sand and cement mix with a proper weathered profile, and we fit or replace chimney caps and cowls where needed.

Chimney Repointing

Repointing involves raking out the old, eroded mortar from between the bricks and replacing it with new mortar to restore the weathertight integrity of the stack. We match the mortar colour and profile to the existing brickwork, which is particularly important on period properties in conservation areas across Wiltshire. Repointing extends the life of the chimney and prevents water ingress through the joints.

uPVC Fascias, Soffits & Guttering in Wiltshire

uPVC Roofline Replacement & Repairs Across Wiltshire

GWR Roofing Ltd installs and replaces uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering across Wiltshire. Your roofline channels rainwater away from the walls, ventilates the roof space and protects the rafter feet from water damage. When fascias rot, soffits crack or gutters leak and overflow, the problems can spread to the brickwork and interior.

We strip and replace old timber or failing uPVC rooflines with new uPVC in a range of colours and profiles. On many properties across Wiltshire’s housing estates, the original timber fascias have never been replaced — after 30 to 50 years, the timber behind the paint is often rotten even if the surface still looks reasonable. A full roofline replacement removes all ongoing painting and repair costs.

Fascia Installations & Replacements

We strip out old timber fascias and replace them with new uPVC fascia boards in white, black, anthracite grey, rosewood or oak effect. uPVC fascias do not rot, warp or require painting. On most properties across Wiltshire, the original timber fascias are 30 to 50 years old and the wood behind the painted surface has deteriorated — even if it looks acceptable from ground level.

Soffit Installations & Repairs

Soffits close off the gap between the fascia and the wall, protecting the rafter feet and providing ventilation to the roof space through vented boards or circular vents. We install both solid and vented uPVC soffits to match the fascia colour. Proper soffit ventilation prevents condensation in the loft — a common issue on older Wiltshire properties where the original soffits have no ventilation at all.

Guttering Installations & Repairs

We install uPVC guttering in half-round, square (ogee) and deep-flow profiles and replace old cast iron and failing plastic systems. All guttering is fitted with the correct fall to the downpipes. We also carry out gutter repairs — re-sealing joints, replacing cracked sections, re-aligning sagging runs and clearing blockages. Regular gutter maintenance prevents overflow and the wall damage it causes.

Velux Window Installation in Wiltshire

Roof Windows for Loft Conversions, Extensions & Existing Roof Spaces

GWR Roofing Ltd installs, replaces and repairs Velux roof windows across Wiltshire. Velux windows bring natural light and ventilation into loft spaces, upper floors and rooms that lack adequate window area. We fit the full range: centre-pivot windows for standard pitched roofs, top-hung windows where a clear opening is needed, flat roof skylights for extensions, and electric or solar-powered windows for hard-to-reach positions.

Every installation includes the correct Velux flashing kit for your roof type, internal lining and proper sealing. Whether you need a single window fitted into an existing roof slope or multiple windows as part of a loft conversion, our team handles the full job — cutting the opening, fitting trimmers, installing the window and re-tiling around it.
