Westbury-on-Trym keeps the feel of a village, with a historic centre and a conservation area surrounded by Victorian villas, interwar family homes and post-war houses. Roofs here range from old natural slate and clay tiles to modern interlocking tiles, often with mature trees close by.
As local roofers in Westbury-on-Trym, we repair slate and tiled roofs, renew lead, repoint chimneys and replace roofs when they have reached the end of their life. On period homes, we take care to match materials and respect conservation rules.
Westbury-on-Trym roofs include:
On older homes, the usual problems are slipped slates, worn lead on bays and valleys, and chimneys that need repointing. Interwar roofs often need ridge and tile repairs, and the trees mean mossy roofs and blocked gutters are common.
