Urgent Roof Repair for Homes
Roof leaking right now?
Storm damage, missing tiles, a fallen branch or water pouring through the ceiling: call 07733 236110. We help homeowners across Bristol and Bath with urgent roof problems during our working hours, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
- Stay safe: keep people away from anything that could fall and do not go on the roof.
- Contain the water: buckets under drips, move valuables, switch off electrics in wet areas if it is safe.
- Record the damage: take photos inside and out for your insurer.
We make the roof safe and watertight first, then quote in writing for the permanent repair. See urgent roof repair and insurance roof repairs.
Who We Are
Local roofers you can rely on
We are a local roofing team working on homes right across Bristol. Most of our work is roof repair: finding where water is getting in, replacing slipped and broken tiles, sorting tired lead flashing and making storm damage safe. When a roof really is past saving, we will tell you straight and quote for a full roof replacement instead.
Bristol housing keeps us on our toes. Georgian slate in Clifton, long rows of Victorian terraces in Bedminster and Southville, 1930s semis in Henleaze and Brislington, and flat-roofed extensions just about everywhere. Each type fails in its own way, so we know where to look first.
Every job starts with a proper look at the roof and a clear written quote. If a small repair will do, that is what we recommend.
How It Works
Your roof sorted in 3 simple steps
No jargon and no pressure. Here is what happens after you get in touch.
Tell Us the Problem
Call, WhatsApp or use the form at the top of the page. A photo of the roof or the damp patch helps us understand the job before we visit.
Inspection and Quote
We check the roof properly, explain what we found in plain English and give you a written quote with nothing hidden.
Repair and Final Check
We carry out the work, check it over, clear up after ourselves and show you exactly what we have done.
Our Services
Roofing services across Bristol
From one slipped tile to a complete new roof, these are the jobs Bristol homeowners call us about most. Every service covers the whole city and the surrounding BS postcodes.
01
Water stains on the ceiling or damp in the loft usually start somewhere you cannot see from the ground. We trace the leak to its source, whether that is flashing, a valley, a cracked tile or perished felt, and fix the cause rather than the symptom.
02
When repairs stop making sense, we strip the old covering and fit a new roof with breathable membrane, fresh battens and new tiles or slate. We explain every option and what each one costs before you decide.
Clear Written Quotes
03
Not sure what is wrong up there? A drone survey gives you close-up photos of your roof, chimney and gutters with no ladders or scaffold, so you can see the problem for yourself before any work is agreed.
Local Bristol Roofers

Bristol has thousands of slate roofs on Victorian and Georgian homes. We replace slipped slates, re-slate tired roofs and keep the original character of period properties in places like Clifton, Redland and Cotham.

Bristol Homes
Roofs we know inside out
Bristol roofs are as mixed as its streets, and knowing the housing stock is half the job. Victorian terraces in Bedminster, Southville, Easton and Totterdown often have original slate with worn valleys and chimneys that need repointing. Rear extensions and loft dormers in Bishopston and Horfield bring flat roofs that crack, blister and pond water. In Clifton, Redland and Cotham, period homes need slate and lead repaired with care, and sometimes with conservation rules in mind.
Further out, the 1930s and post-war semis of Henleaze, Brislington, Knowle and Filton usually have concrete interlocking tiles, where slipped tiles, cracked ridge mortar and tired fascias are the common call-outs.

Common Questions
Roofing questions, answered
The things Bristol homeowners ask us most. Cannot see your question? Call 07733 236110 or send us a message using the form.
How much does a roof repair cost in Bristol?
It depends on the type of roof, how easy it is to reach and what is actually wrong. A few slipped tiles is a small job, while a failed valley or chimney flashing takes longer and may need scaffold. We give you a fixed written quote after looking at the roof.
Do you give free quotes?
Yes. Quotes are free and there is no obligation. Use the form at the top of this page, call 07733 236110, or send a WhatsApp with a photo of the problem.
Can you help with an emergency roof leak?
Yes. If water is coming in or storm damage has left your roof open, call us between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM and we will arrange a repair for your home. Read more about urgent roof repairs for homes in Bristol.
Should I repair or replace my roof?
Most roofs can be repaired. Replacement starts to make sense when tiles or slates are failing across the whole roof, the felt underneath has perished, or leaks keep appearing in different places. We will tell you honestly which side of that line your roof is on. Our roof replacement page explains what a new roof involves.
What is the best material for a flat roof?
For most extensions, garages and dormers we recommend EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass. Both last far longer than old-style felt and need very little maintenance. Our flat roof repair page compares the options.
Which areas of Bristol do you cover?
All of Bristol and Bath and the towns in between, including Clifton, Redland, Bedminster, Henleaze, Kingswood, Brislington, Southville, Bishopston, Easton, Horfield, Fishponds, Totterdown, the city centre, Keynsham and every part of Bath. See every area we cover.
Do I need permission for roof work in a conservation area?
Like-for-like repairs usually do not need planning permission. Changing materials, adding roof windows or altering the shape of a roof in a conservation area, or on a listed building, may need consent from Bristol City Council. If your home is affected, we flag it before any work starts.
Will my home insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Many policies cover sudden storm damage but not general wear and tear, so check your policy first. We can inspect the roof and record the damage with photos and a written report to support your claim. Find out more about insurance roof repairs.
Do roofers need to be licensed in the UK?
No. Roofing is not a licensed trade in the UK, so anyone can call themselves a roofer. Trade bodies and schemes such as the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), TrustMark and CompetentRoofer are voluntary, so always ask for a written quote, proof of public liability insurance and recent references. More answers on our roofing FAQs page.
What is BS 5534 and why does it matter?
BS 5534 is the British Standard code of practice for slating and tiling. Since its 2014 revision, every single-lap tile must be mechanically fixed and ridge and hip tiles can no longer rely on mortar alone, which makes roofs far more secure in storms. Our repairs and new roofs follow it.
