FAQs

What are the most common signs that my roof in Bristol needs repair?

Look for cracked or missing tiles, slipped slates, granular loss on shingles, damp patches or mould on interior ceilings, water staining in the loft, and blocked or sagging gutters. In Bristol’s often wet and windy climate, even small defects can quickly lead to leaks, so arrange an inspection as soon as you notice any of these issues.

How quickly can Sturdy Roof Roofing attend a roof repair in Bristol?

For non-urgent repairs we normally carry out a free site survey within 24–48 hours of your call and schedule the work within 7–10 days, depending on material availability. For storm damage or active leaks we provide a same-day emergency call-out service anywhere in Bristol and the surrounding BS postcodes.

Do I need planning permission or Building Control approval for roof repairs?

Minor like-for-like repairs (replacing individual tiles, fixing flashing, resealing joints) do not require planning permission. If more than 25 % of the roof covering is being replaced, Building Control must be notified so that insulation and ventilation standards are met. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas around Clifton, Hotwells or the Harbourside may need additional consent. We will advise and handle any paperwork on your behalf.

What roofing materials do you specialise in and which perform best in Bristol’s weather?

We work with clay and concrete tiles, natural slate, fibre-cement slate, GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber, torch-on felt and standing-seam metal. For Bristol’s mix of rain, Atlantic winds and occasional temperature swings, natural slate and high-quality concrete tiles offer excellent longevity, while EPDM or GRP are popular for flat roofs because they cope well with ponding water and UV exposure.

How much does a typical roof repair cost and what affects the price?

Small repairs such as replacing 5–10 damaged tiles start from £150–£250. Fixing chimney flashing or valley leaks ranges from £300–£600. Larger sectional reroofs can cost £60–£90 per square metre. Price depends on access (scaffolding vs. ladders), roof pitch, material type, waste disposal needs and whether out-of-hours emergency work is required. All quotes are itemised and fixed before work begins.

Are your roof repairs guaranteed and fully insured?

Yes. Sturdy Roof Roofing carries £5 million public liability insurance and £10 million employer’s liability. All workmanship is backed by a 10-year written guarantee, and manufacturer warranties apply on materials (20–50 years for slate, 15–25 years for membranes). We also offer an optional insurance-backed guarantee for extra peace of mind.
