FAQs
How do I know my Bristol roof needs a full replacement rather than a repair?
Common signs include widespread cracked or missing tiles, persistent leaks in multiple areas, sagging rafters, visible daylight through the loft, and a roof that is 20–25 years old or more. Our surveyors carry out a free, no-obligation inspection using drones and internal checks to assess structural integrity, insulation, and ventilation. If damage is extensive or the roof is near the end of its service life, we will recommend replacement as the most cost-effective long-term solution.
How much does a complete roof replacement cost in Bristol?
Costs vary with roof size, pitch, access requirements, chosen materials, and any structural repairs needed. As a guide, a typical three-bed semi-detached roof replacement in Bristol ranges from £6,000 to £10,000 for concrete tiles and £8,000 to £14,000 for premium slate. Our quotations are fully itemised and fixed-price, covering scaffolding, waste removal, insulation upgrades, and VAT, so you know exactly what you will pay before work starts.
What roofing materials do you recommend for Bristol’s weather conditions?
For most properties we suggest either: • Concrete interlocking tiles – economical, durable for 30–40 years, and available in colours that match local styles. • Natural or fibre-cement slate – lighter than concrete, highly resistant to wind-driven rain, and provides a traditional West Country appearance. • Composite or recycled polymer tiles – ideal when weight restrictions apply and offer a 50-year lifespan. All materials we supply meet BS 5534 standards and are installed with breathable membranes and code-compliant fixings to withstand Bristol’s mix of rain, wind, and occasional frost.
Will I need planning permission for a roof replacement in Bristol?
Most like-for-like roof replacements fall under Permitted Development, so planning permission is usually not required. You will need consent if you are: (1) changing the roof height or shape, (2) using markedly different materials on a listed building or in a conservation area, or (3) fitting solar panels that protrude more than 200 mm. We check the property’s status with Bristol City Council and, where necessary, handle planning or listed-building applications on your behalf.
How long will the roof replacement take and how disruptive is the process?
A standard residential roof in good weather typically takes 4–7 working days from scaffold erection to final tidy-up. Larger or more complex roofs can take up to two weeks. We protect gardens and driveways with temporary sheeting, keep skips on site only as long as needed, and maintain safe access to your home at all times. Our team works Monday–Friday between 8 am and 5 pm, keeping noise and dust to a minimum and providing daily progress updates.
What warranties and aftercare do you provide?
All new roofs come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee backed by the Confederation of Roofing Contractors, plus manufacturer material warranties of up to 50 years depending on the product. We register your installation with the National House Building Council (NHBC) or TrustMark as applicable, supply completion certificates for insurance purposes, and offer free annual visual inspections during the guarantee period to ensure your roof continues to perform at its best.
