FAQs
How long does a typical roof replacement take in Bristol?
Most domestic roof replacements in Bristol are completed within 2–5 working days. The exact duration depends on roof size, material choice (e.g., slate, concrete tile, or fibreglass), ease of access, and weather conditions. We provide a detailed programme before starting and keep you informed if bad weather causes delays.
What factors affect the cost of a roof replacement?
Key cost drivers include the size and pitch of your roof, choice of covering (natural slate, man-made slate, concrete or clay tiles, single-ply, etc.), condition of existing timbers, need for insulation upgrades to meet Part L regulations, scaffold requirements, and any extras such as new fascia, soffits or guttering. After a free survey, we issue a fixed-price, itemised quotation so you can see exactly where your money is going.
Do I need planning permission to replace my roof in Bristol?
In most cases, you can replace your roof under Permitted Development. However, you will need planning permission if you live in a listed building, a conservation area where the new roof will alter appearance, or if you are altering the roof shape significantly (e.g., adding a dormer). We check all local planning constraints and, if permission is required, can help prepare and submit the application.
Will my new roof comply with current UK building regulations?
Yes. All roof replacements must satisfy Part A (structure) and Part L (energy efficiency) of the Building Regulations. We register every job with Bristol Building Control or an approved inspector, upgrade insulation to current U-value standards, install compliant ventilation, and provide you with a completion certificate that is essential if you sell your property.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Bristol’s weather?
Bristol’s maritime climate brings high rainfall and occasional high winds, so we recommend durable, water-tight coverings such as natural Welsh slate, fibre-cement slate, or high-quality clay and concrete tiles. For flat sections, GRP fibreglass or single-ply membranes perform well. All materials we use carry BBA certification and minimum 15-year manufacturer warranties.
What warranties and after-care do you provide?
All full roof replacements come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee backed by insurance, plus manufacturer warranties of 15–50 years depending on the product. We perform a complimentary inspection one year after installation and remain on call for any issues. You receive all guarantee paperwork, after-care advice, and maintenance tips to maximise the life of your new roof.
