Taunton and Bridgwater Community Advice

Excellent gardens by Lutyens and Jekyll. The hard landscaping outshines the planting schemes but much to enjoy.

Good cafe which handles allergens conscientiously. Coeliac options available.

Nice secondhand bookshop by the Cafe courtyard.

The Taunton Flower Company now has a gate sign that matches the business cards. I could not be more happy with the standards and attention to details this team give. I have been working with them for over a year, highly recommend

Just had a new rooflight fitted in our motorhome by this company.
Technician came out to us and was very prompt. Did a great job at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend this company.

I have 4 roofs, 1 being a large glass one and I urgently needed repairs on 3 of my roofs (not the glass one) & the chimney as a result of wear & tear plus the storms from January 2026 only enhanced the problems.

Initially called Ross from High Spec Roofing as I knew of him, and I knew people who had work done by him. Unfortunately, at the time he was busy.

Subsequently I had at least 7 ‘Roofer’s’ around and was rapidly losing the will as we were now into May, they either plucked figures out of the air, tried to create jobs that was not necessary, and any quote I did receive was vague, quotes that seemed to be good to be true, oh and they made a meal out of my glass roof and I was sure they added that factor into the quotes, and that is not everything that I experienced! But every time I went with my gut feeling, and I was right to do so.

Thought I would give High Spec Roofing another call and Ross came out, we discussed the issues and how to address the repairs. That evening I received the quote, a very well detailed break down of each job, plus he would organise the scaffolding. The quote was clear and not mis-leading, oh and no nonsense about my glass roof. By the following week (June) work started. Throughout the whole process Ross’s communication was above & beyond including out of business hours, he also regularly visited to ensure everything was going as planned and even after completion.

Despite Ross being busy he certainly runs a tight ship and to hear from his employees on how well Ross treats them, and that his employees have a lot of respect for him is testament in itself.

Whilst Ollie, George and Ben were here I found them to be professional, friendly, efficient, showing me, photos/videos were also appreciated, they were respectful not only to my property, but also to my neighbours either side. I did meet a couple of other employees and found them to be the same.

I would also like to Thank Dale & his team from Staggered Scaffolding, again couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Professional, friendly, respectful with great communication.

In summary, it was worth the wait, the whole experience from start to finish was absolutely fantastic, couldn’t have asked for more, I am so very grateful to High Spec Roofing and Staggered Scaffolding. I have already and will continue to highly recommend them.

Once again, a MASSIVE THANK YOU! I wish High Spec Roofing and Staggered Scaffolding continued success in their businesses. Best Wishes Mandy
