FAQs
What roofing services do you provide in Bristol?
We undertake complete roof replacements, re-roofing, slate and tile repairs, flat roofing (EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt), leadwork, chimney repointing, fascia/soffit and gutter installations, roof insulation upgrades, and 24-hour emergency call-outs. All work is carried out by qualified, fully insured roofers who understand Bristol’s building styles and local regulations.
How long will it take to replace or repair my roof?
For an average semi-detached property in Bristol, a full pitched-roof replacement normally takes 3–5 working days, depending on the size, complexity, and weather conditions. Flat roofs can often be completed in 1–2 days. Small repairs may take only a few hours. We provide a detailed schedule before starting and keep you updated if adverse weather causes delays.
Do I need planning permission to change my roof in Bristol?
If you are replacing your roof ‘like for like’—for example, swapping old tiles for new ones of the same style—planning permission is rarely required. However, permission may be needed if you alter the roof’s height, pitch or appearance, install roof lights, or your home is listed or in a conservation area. We offer free advice, liaise with Bristol City Council if required, and can supply all drawings and documentation to secure approval.
Which roofing materials work best for Bristol’s climate?
Bristol experiences high rainfall and occasional coastal winds, so moisture-resistant, durable materials are essential. Natural Welsh slate and high-grade clay or concrete tiles perform exceptionally on pitched roofs. For flat roofs, single-ply EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass are popular for their strength, UV resistance and 20-30-year life expectancy. We always recommend breathable membranes and proper ventilation to combat condensation.
How much does a new roof cost in Bristol?
Prices vary with size, access and material choice, but as a guide a full tiled roof on a three-bed semi is typically £5,000–£9,000. Slate can be 10–20% more. Flat roofs generally range from £70–£110 per m². Your quotation will itemise labour, materials, scaffold, waste disposal and VAT, with no hidden extras. We also offer finance options and staged payment schedules for larger projects.
Do you offer warranties and aftercare?
Yes. All new roofs come with a 10-year workmanship guarantee backed by insurance, plus manufacturer warranties of 10–20 years on materials. On flat roofs such as EPDM and GRP we can offer guarantees up to 25 years. After completion we provide a maintenance checklist, offer optional annual inspections, and operate a 24/7 call-out line in case you experience storm damage or leaks.
