FAQs
How do I know if my Bristol property needs a full roof replacement rather than just repairs?
Common indicators include widespread cracked or slipping tiles, persistent leaks despite previous repairs, obvious sagging of the roof deck, granule loss on older concrete or clay tiles, and roofs that are 20–25 years old or more. Our surveyors carry out a free, no-obligation inspection using drone imaging and moisture-meter testing to confirm whether a cost-effective repair is possible or if a complete replacement is the safer long-term option.
How much does a roof replacement typically cost in Bristol?
Pricing varies with roof size, pitch, access, chosen materials, and any insulation upgrades. As a guide, a standard three-bed semi-detached house in Bristol usually falls between £6,000 and £10,000 for a tiled roof replacement, including scaffold, labour, disposal, breathable membrane, battens and new dry-fix ridges. Slate or specialist heritage tiles are more expensive. We provide a detailed fixed-price quotation after an on-site assessment so you know exactly what is included and there are no hidden extras.
How long will the roof replacement take and will my home be exposed to the weather?
Most domestic re-roofs are completed in 3–5 working days. We remove and re-tile in sections, installing underlay as we go, so the roof structure is never left uncovered overnight. Where bad weather is forecast, we fit temporary waterproof coverings and secure all materials to minimise disruption. Larger or more complex properties may take longer; you’ll receive a project schedule before work starts.
Do I need planning permission or Building Control approval for a roof replacement in Bristol?
Planning permission is rarely required if you are using like-for-like materials and not altering the roof shape or height. However, Building Regulations (Part L & Part A) do apply: insulation levels, ventilation and structural loading must meet current standards. As an Approved Contractor, we notify Bristol City Council Building Control on your behalf and arrange the final inspection so you receive a completion certificate for your records.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Bristol’s climate and can I upgrade the insulation at the same time?
Bristol’s mix of coastal winds and rainfall makes concrete interlocking tiles, Welsh slate and fibre-cement slate popular choices due to their durability and weather resistance. All replacements include a high-performance breathable membrane and treated graded battens. If your loft insulation is below the current 270 mm recommendation, we can install additional mineral wool or PIR board during the re-roof, improving energy efficiency and lowering heating bills.
What warranties and after-sales support do you provide?
Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, and most leading tile manufacturers supply 25- to 30-year product warranties. We carry £5 million public liability insurance, register your project with TrustMark, and provide annual maintenance tips. Should any issue arise, our local Bristol office will arrange a free inspection and remedial work within 48 hours.
