Professional New Roof Installations in Bristol

There comes a point when continually repairing an ageing roof is no longer the most sensible option.

Brunel Roofing Bristol provides new roof installations and complete roof replacements throughout Bristol, working on a variety of residential properties and roofing styles.

Whether you are replacing an old roof or need roofing for a new extension or building project, we can provide a system designed around the property.

Tile and Slate Roofing

We install traditional pitched roofing using appropriate tile and slate systems.

A complete roofing project can include the roof covering together with the supporting battens, membrane, ridge system, verges and associated flashing.

Attention to these less visible parts of the roof is just as important as the finished tiles or slate.

When Should You Consider a New Roof?

Replacement may be worth considering when:

• The roof requires increasingly frequent repairs
• Large areas of tile or slate have deteriorated
• The roof structure has significant problems
• The underlay has failed
• There are widespread leaks
• An old roof is reaching the end of its serviceable life
• Previous repairs are no longer providing a reliable solution

We can inspect the roof and explain whether continued repairs or replacement is likely to be the more appropriate option.

New Roofs for Extensions and Building Projects

As well as replacing existing roofs, Brunel Roofing Bristol can provide new roofing for extensions and other suitable building projects.

The roofing system can be selected to complement the existing property while providing modern weather protection.

What Actually Happens On Site During a Full Re-Roof

Once you've had a survey and agreed a specification, the first thing to arrive is usually scaffolding, put up around the whole roof so our team can work safely and give you an easy view of progress from the ground. With that in place, the old covering comes off in sections rather than all at once, which keeps the property weathertight for longer and lets us load a skip steadily instead of leaving a mountain of old tiles on your drive for weeks.

A straightforward semi-detached re-roof typically runs to a week or so on site, longer for bigger or more complex roofs with multiple valleys, dormers or awkward access. Bristol weather being what it is, we build in contingency and can sheet up an exposed area overnight or during a sudden downpour, so a forecast change doesn't mean water finds its way into your loft. We'll always talk you through the likely timeline before work starts, and keep you posted if anything shifts once we're up there and can see the roof structure close up.

Chimneys, Valleys and Getting the Spec Right for Your Street

A re-roof is also the natural point to sort out anything attached to the roof rather than working around it. Chimneys often get re-flashed or rebuilt at the stack, valleys are replaced with a system suited to the pitch and rainfall they'll actually see, and any dormers are re-covered and re-flashed as part of the same job, so you're not paying for scaffolding twice a few years later when one of these fails on its own.

What you can use also depends on where the property sits. On older streets in areas like Clifton, Redland or Cotham that fall within a conservation area, there's often a requirement to match the existing natural slate or clay tile rather than switch to a different material, and we're used to specifying roofs that satisfy that while still performing well. On a newer build or a property outside any such designation, you generally have a freer choice between tile and slate systems based on look, budget and how the roof will weather over time. As a very rough guide, a full re-roof on an average semi can run from around £6,000 up into five figures depending on size, materials and access, but the only way to get a figure that means anything is a free inspection and written quote for your specific roof.
