Brislington stretches along the Bath Road in south east Bristol, taking in streets of Victorian terraces near the main road, large numbers of 1930s semis and post-war homes, and the green space around Arnos Vale and Brislington Brook. It is a busy, settled area where many homes are on their original or second roof.
As local roofers in Brislington, we repair tiled and slate roofs, repoint chimneys, replace flat roofs on extensions and re-roof homes that have reached the end of the line. We give you a clear written quote and honest advice on whether a repair will do.
Brislington roofs are a mix of old and newer styles:
On Brislington semis, the most common issues are cracked ridge tiles, slipped tiles and tired felt under concrete tiles that were fitted decades ago. Chimneys on older homes often need repointing, and flat roofs on extensions tend to leak once the felt passes 15 to 20 years old.
If your roof needs repeated repairs, a roof replacement may work out cheaper over time, and it is the perfect moment to swap rotten timber for new uPVC fascias and soffits while the scaffold is up.
On Brislington’s semis and terraces, look for slipped tiles, cracked ridges, chimneys that need repointing and timber fascias rotting behind the paint. Flat roofs on extensions often show ponding after rain.
Homes near the Bath Road can be busy for access, so work is timed to minimise disruption. Scaffold on the pavement needs a Bristol City Council licence.
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.
