Elevated edges of the town take open-country weather, while shaded stone buildings can remain damp long after rainfall. We follow the water path, inspect adjoining details and explain whether a focused repair is sensible before recommending wider work.

Finding the source rather than the stain
Sherborne's historic core, stone houses and later residential streets create a varied roofscape with many sensitive junctions. We inspect from inside where access allows, then check the likely external route so the quotation addresses the defect rather than only the visible symptom.
Repair materials that suit the roof
Matching the existing covering matters on natural slate, clay tile and stone-built period properties alongside later tiled homes. Sound material can often be retained, while replacements and fixings should suit the pitch, exposure and age of the roof.
