Questions we get asked most
How much does a roof repair or new roof cost in Bath?
Most single roof repairs cost between £160 and £600 depending on access and the number of tiles or slates involved. A full re-roof typically runs £5,500–£12,000+VAT for a terraced or semi-detached house, plus scaffolding. See our full cost guide for a breakdown — every quote is free and written, with no obligation to proceed.
How quickly can you come out for an emergency?
Usually same-day for genuine emergencies such as storm damage or an active leak. See our emergency call-out page for what to do while you wait. Most policies cover sudden storm or impact damage — the Association of British Insurers has guidance on what’s typically covered.
What guarantee do you offer, and are you insured?
Every job carries a written guarantee — see our guarantee page for details — and we hold public liability insurance, with the certificate available any time. You speak to the roofer directly from first call to final invoice, not a call-centre operative.
Do I need planning permission for a re-roof in Bath?
Usually not for like-for-like work. Conservation areas and listed buildings are the main exceptions — large parts of central Bath fall into one or both categories. See our leadwork page for more on period properties, or check the Planning Portal for official guidance on roof works.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Yes — a large share of our work is on listed and conservation-area properties across Bath. We’re used to sourcing matching stone slate and working within the constraints those properties involve. Historic England’s guidance is a useful starting point if you’re not sure what applies to your property.
Which areas of Bath do you cover?
The whole of BA1–BA2, including Widcombe, Bathwick, Lansdown, Weston, Oldfield Park, Combe Down, Bathampton, Twerton, Larkhall, Fairfield Park, Newbridge and Odd Down. See our Widcombe page for more on one of the areas we cover most.
