Natural Welsh Slate Grade 2 Listed in Frome

Chimney re build in Cheddar

Some of the things our clients have said about us;

I would like to pass on my thanks to Gary and his team for a first class job carried out on my roof, which consisted of re-felt and batten lead work to the chimneys and valleys.\r\nPrior to the work, Gary explained in detail the process involved and options available.\r\nThe team arrived promptly each day and carried out the work in a very professional manner in line with expectations and cleared up thoroughly each day after work.\r\nI would have no hesitation to recommend his services.

Gary, a big thank you for coming around to view the roof last week at such short notice. All those little coincidences certainly looked like they added up to a leak...so glad you were there to allay my fears.
Thanks for taking the time, especially after realising that the issue was not a leak under warranty, to help me understand how best set the house up for the future. Your time, professionalism and warm manner are much appreciated and due to your advice and getting creative, I have basically eradicated the issue.  
Thank you; no wonder you have such a fine ongoing reputation.
I will not hesitate to recommend you to all and sundry.
Thanks also for putting your thoughts towards local tradesmen.
Congratulations on your ongoing success. All my best,
most gratefully, Patrick

Hello Gary. I would like to thank you for curing the persistent and - to all intents and purposes - mysterious rainwater ingress on the old sloping roof. To me it is nothing short of a miracle that even in very heavy rain nothing is penetrating. I only wish I\'d come across you a few years ago instead of throwing a good deal of money at attempted repairs which were a waste of time. With best wishes. (By the way I am more than happy for you to post this on your website)

Gary Latchem and his team were contracted to carry out a complete re-roofing of this substatial three storey Victorian Vicarage building. The building itself is not listed, but is situated in a very promenent position next to a particularly fine mediaeval Church, in a conservation area in the heart of our village.
The work involved installing new roof lights in the slate roof, and replacing a complicated series of lead valleys between the four large gables and later additions to the roof line. As all the old slates on the roof were to damaged to be re-used, Mr Latchem sourced good quality recycled slates, which blended in perfectly with the historic building.
The work was carried out to a very high standard,in a short as time as possible, without interruption, and withing the agreed budget. I was extremely pleased with the result, and found Mr Latchem very reliable and very pleasantto work with. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in need of a top quality roofing specialist.
