Local Roofers Covering Redland
Redland is full of handsome Victorian and Edwardian homes, from the large villas around Redland Green to the long terraces between Whiteladies Road and Gloucester Road. Most still have their original slate roofs, decorative ridge tiles, bay roofs and tall chimneys, and many have had loft conversions added over the years.
As local roofers in Redland, we repair and re-slate period roofs, repoint and rebuild chimneys, renew lead on bays and dormers and fit roof windows for loft rooms. We take care to keep the look of these homes intact while making them watertight for years to come.
Homes and Roofs in Redland
Typical Redland roofs share a lot of period features:
- Victorian and Edwardian villas with natural slate
- Long terraces with shared chimney stacks
- Decorative ridge tiles and finials
- Lead-roofed bay windows
- Rear dormers from loft conversions
- Parts of the Cotham and Redland conservation area
Slipped and cracked slates are the most common call-outs in Redland, usually where the original nails have rusted through. We also see a lot of tired lead on bay windows and dormer cheeks, and chimney stacks that need repointing.
Loft conversions are popular here, and the flat roof on a rear dormer is often the first thing to leak. We repair and replace dormer roofs in EPDM or GRP, see our flat roof repair page, and fit new roof windows where planning rules allow.
Parts of Redland fall within a conservation area, so changes to materials or roof windows on the front slope may need consent. We check before any work starts.

Check the junction where rear dormers meet the main roof, the lead on bay windows and the condition of slates on the front slope. Many Redland homes have had loft conversions, and older dormer roofs are often the first part to leak.
Getting Roof Work Done in Redland
Most Redland streets allow front access with scaffold on the pavement, which needs a Bristol City Council licence. Rear access is often through the house or garden, so we plan carefully to protect your home.
Planning and building control questions go to Bristol City Council. Like-for-like repairs rarely need planning permission, but conservation areas and listed buildings can need consent. Parts of Redland are within a conservation area.

Redland Roofing FAQs
Can my original slate roof be repaired instead of replaced?
Often, yes. Many Redland roofs only need slipped slates refixed and a few broken ones replaced. If the nails are failing across the roof, re-slating is usually better value.
Do I need planning permission for a roof window in Redland?
Rear roof windows are often fine, but front slopes in the conservation area may need consent. We check before starting.
Why does my dormer roof leak?
Usually because the old felt has failed or the lead where it meets the main roof has worn. We can repair it or replace it with a longer-lasting EPDM or GRP roof.
How much does roof work cost in Redland?
It depends on the job and whether scaffold is needed.
