Fishponds runs along Fishponds Road in north east Bristol, with Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the main road and streets of interwar and post-war semis further out towards Oldbury Court and Snuff Mills. Plenty of mature trees mean plenty of leaves in the gutters and moss on the roofs.
As local roofers in Fishponds, we repair tiled and slate roofs, repoint chimneys, clear and replace gutters, clean mossy roofs and re-roof homes that need it. You get a clear written quote before any work starts.
Fishponds has a wide range of roof types:
The jobs we do most in Fishponds are tile repairs and ridge work on interwar semis, slate repairs on older terraces, and chimney repointing. Leafy streets mean blocked gutters and mossy roofs are common, and our roof cleaning service helps protect the tiles.
If your home has an old garage with a corrugated sheet roof, be aware it may contain asbestos cement, which was widely used until it was banned in 1999. It should be tested before anyone cuts or cleans it.
Check for moss build-up and blocked gutters, slipped tiles on interwar semis and slate condition on older terraces. Garage roofs may be asbestos cement and should be tested before work.
Access is generally straightforward, with many homes having drives or front gardens. 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.

Reviews from homeowners and businesses in Fishponds will appear here as tile, slate and gutter jobs are completed in the area. If we have worked on your roof in Fishponds, we would love to hear how it went.
Homes near trees usually benefit from a gutter clean once a year, ideally after the leaves fall. Some need it more often.
A thick layer holds moisture against the tiles, lifts them and blocks gutters. Removing it by hand and treating the roof helps protect it.
If it is a corrugated sheet roof from before 1999, it could. Do not drill or jet wash it. Get it tested first.
It depends on the job and the access.
We look after Fishponds roofs the way we would our own: careful repairs, honest advice and a tidy site at the end of every day.
