Terrace and semi re-roofs
The most common Bristol job. Full strip, new membrane, batten and tile, with lead flashing and gutter checks.
New roofs in Bristol
When a repair is not enough.
Most Bristol roofs last decades before they need replacing. When they do, it usually shows in a few ways. Multiple slipped or broken tiles. Sagging between rafters. Damp patches in the loft. Repeated leaks in different places. If you’re patching the same roof year after year, a full re-roof often works out cheaper in the long run.
We install new tiled and slate roofs on terraces, semis, detached homes and commercial buildings across Bristol. Every job is priced up front and includes everything, so there are no extras added on later.
All our workmanship carries the Confederation of Roofing Contractors 10-year Insurance-Backed Guarantee.
Scaffolding is sorted in-house. We bring it, erect it, work on it, and take it down.
Most of our work is done from the outside. On a typical job the only thing we need from the house is a mains power outlet.

A repair fixes the symptom. If any of these ring true, the underlying roof is probably at the end of its life.
- Multiple slipped or broken tiles across the whole roof.
- Sagging between rafters visible from the ground.
- Damp patches or daylight visible in the loft.
- Repeated leaks appearing in different places.
- Roof is over 40 years old and never been renewed.
- Battens or timbers showing rot or borer damage.

New roof questions, answered.
How do I know if I need a new roof rather than a repair?
It usually comes down to how often you're calling someone out. If you've had the same roof patched two or three times in recent years, or if the leaks are appearing in different places, the underlying membrane or timbers are probably at the end of their life. We can come out for a look and give you an honest answer either way.
How long does a full re-roof take?
A typical Bristol terrace is usually five to ten working days, weather permitting. Larger homes or commercial jobs take longer. You'll have a clear timeline in the quote before we start.
Can you upgrade my loft insulation at the same time?
Yes. A re-roof is the ideal moment to add or upgrade insulation, especially if you want a warm roof for a converted or future-convertible loft.
Can you leave provision for solar panels?
Yes. If you know you want to add solar in future, we can leave the roof structurally ready and note it on the paperwork.
Do you offer a guarantee on a new roof?
Yes. As Confederation of Roofing Contractors members (No. 8523), we can offer a 10-year Insurance-Backed Guarantee on all new work. It covers the full contract value and stays valid even in the unlikely event we're no longer trading, and it transfers if you sell the house.
What kind of disruption can I expect?
Scaffolding goes up first, then the roof comes off in sections. The house stays weathertight throughout. Most of the noise is external, but there's some vibration inside for the first day or two. We keep the site tidy at the end of every day.
