FAQs

Questions we get asked most

How much does a roof repair or new roof cost in Bristol?

Most single roof repairs cost between £150 and £600 depending on access and the number of tiles or slates involved. A full re-roof typically runs £5,000–£10,000+VAT for a terraced house, plus £600–£2,000 for scaffolding. See our full cost guide for a breakdown — every quote is free and written, with no obligation to proceed.

How quickly can you come out for an emergency?

Usually same-day for genuine emergencies such as storm damage or an active leak. See our emergency call-out page for what to do while you wait. Most policies cover sudden storm or impact damage — the Association of British Insurers has guidance on what’s typically covered.

What guarantee do you offer, and are you insured?

Every job carries our 20 year written company guarantee, and we hold public liability insurance — ask for the certificate any time. You speak to the roofer directly from first call to final invoice, not a call-centre operative.

Do I need planning permission for a re-roof?

Usually not for like-for-like work. Conservation areas and listed buildings are the main exceptions — see our leadwork page for more on period properties. You can also check the Planning Portal for official guidance on roof works.
