FAQs
How can I tell whether my roof in Bristol needs a repair or a full replacement?
Visible signs such as slipped or missing tiles, cracked slates, persistent leaks, or daylight showing through loft timbers usually mean a repair is sufficient if caught early. However, widespread sagging, multiple areas of water ingress, or a roof that is 25–30 years old may indicate that a full replacement is more cost-effective in the long run. Our surveyors carry out a free, no-obligation inspection to provide honest advice on the best option for your property.
What kinds of roof damage do Time-Tested Repairs Roofing typically fix?
We handle all common roofing issues experienced in Bristol’s varied housing stock, including slipped or broken tiles and slates, cracked lead flashing, damaged ridge tiles, split felt on flat roofs, chimney deterioration, guttering failures, and storm-related punctures. Because we stock locally sourced tiles and slates, most repairs can be completed the same day, minimising disruption to your home or business.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency roof leak?
For urgent leaks or storm damage, our 24/7 call-out team aims to reach any Bristol address within 2 hours, even at night or on weekends. On arrival, we carry out a temporary ‘make-safe’ repair to stop water ingress immediately, then schedule a permanent fix once materials, scaffolding, or dry weather are in place. There are no hidden premiums for out-of-hours attendance—only a transparent emergency call-out fee discussed upfront.
Do your roof repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. All workmanship is backed by a 10-year labour guarantee, and we only use materials that carry their own manufacturer warranties (typically 15–25 years for tiles and membranes). You’ll receive written certification upon completion, and warranties are fully transferable if you sell your property. Optional insurance-backed guarantees are also available for added peace of mind.
How much does a typical roof repair cost in Bristol?
Minor repairs such as replacing a few tiles or re-bedding a ridge can start from as little as £120, while more involved jobs like chimney re-pointing or valley replacement may range between £400 and £1,000. Every roof is different, so we provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after inspection. All estimates include labour, materials, access equipment, waste disposal, and VAT—so there are no surprises on your final invoice.
Will I need planning permission or Building Control approval for roof repairs?
Most like-for-like repairs do not require planning permission, provided the roof covering and appearance remain broadly the same. If over 25 % of the roof covering is replaced, Building Control notification is usually required to ensure insulation and ventilation meet current standards—but we handle all paperwork on your behalf. Listed buildings and properties in conservation areas may face additional restrictions, and we can advise you during the survey.
