When patch repairs stop working, a new roof is the job that fixes it for the next 40 years or more. We strip back to the rafters, check and repair the timbers, and rebuild with modern breathable membrane, new battens and the tiles or slates that suit your house and street.
Bristol has everything from Victorian terraces in Bishopston to 1990s estates in Bradley Stoke, and each needs a different approach. We'll talk you through clay, concrete and natural slate options, show you samples, and give you a fixed price in writing before any scaffolding goes up.

How long does a new roof take?
A typical semi-detached house takes about a week once the scaffolding is up. Terraces are usually quicker, larger detached houses or slate roofs a little longer. We'll give you a start date and an expected finish in writing.
Do I need planning permission for a new roof?
Not usually when you're replacing like for like. Listed buildings and conservation areas, such as parts of Clifton and Cotham, may need consent, and we'll tell you if that applies before quoting.
Can I stay in the house while the roof is replaced?
Yes. We only strip as much as we can make watertight the same day, and the loft is protected throughout, so you can carry on living there as normal.
What happens if it rains during the job?
We watch the forecast closely and never leave a roof open overnight. Any exposed section is fully sheeted and secured at the end of every day.
