Do You Need a New Roof or a Re-Roof?
Not every roofing problem requires a complete replacement. In some cases, individual tiles, slates, flashing, valleys or other components can be repaired. However, when a roof is showing widespread deterioration, repeated leaks or significant damage, a complete re-roof can provide a more practical long-term solution.
Signs that your roof may require replacement include:
-
Frequent or recurring roof leaks
-
Large numbers of broken, cracked or slipped tiles
-
Damaged or deteriorating slate
-
Perished or failing roofing felt
-
Damaged or rotten roof battens
-
Persistent damp or water ingress
-
Sagging areas of the roof
-
Deteriorating flashing around chimneys and roof junctions
-
A roof that is approaching the end of its expected lifespan
-
Repeated repair bills that are becoming uneconomical
The best way to determine whether you need roof repairs or a complete roof replacement is to have the roof professionally assessed. Our team can inspect the condition of your existing roof and explain the most appropriate options for your property.
Complete new roof installation
A new roof is much more than simply replacing the visible tiles or slates. A properly specified roof replacement can involve removing the existing roof covering, assessing the underlying structure and installing new components to create a durable roofing system.
Depending on the property and specification, a complete re-roof can include:
-
Removal of existing tiles or slate
-
Inspection of the roof structure
-
Replacement of damaged roof battens where required
-
Installation of appropriate roofing membrane
-
New tiles or slate
-
Ridge and hip installation
-
Verge detailing
-
Lead flashing and weatherproofing
-
Chimney and roof junction work
-
Guttering and associated roof drainage
-
Safe scaffolding and access
-
Removal and responsible disposal of existing roofing materials
Every roof is different, so we assess the property before recommending the appropriate materials and specification.
Re-roofing in Bristol
Bristol has a diverse mixture of Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, modern and post-war properties, meaning roofing requirements can vary significantly from one property to another. Mogford Prescott provides re-roofing in Bristol for homeowners looking to replace ageing or deteriorating roofs with a modern, durable roofing system.
​
We work across Bristol and surrounding areas, including:
Clifton, Redland, Westbury-on-Trym, Henleaze, Bishopston, Horfield, Southville, Bedminster, Brislington, Fishponds, Stapleton, Stoke Bishop, Kingswood, Keynsham and surrounding areas.
For older Bristol properties, the existing roofing material and character of the building can be particularly important. Where appropriate, we can advise on suitable tile and slate options to complement the property.
New roofs & re-roofing in Bath
Bath contains a large number of traditional and historic properties where roofing materials and appearance need careful consideration. If you own a property in Bath that requires a new roof, roof replacement or complete re-roof, Mogford Prescott can assess the existing roof and recommend an appropriate solution.
We work throughout Bath and the surrounding areas, including:
Bath city centre, Widcombe, Bathwick, Lansdown, Combe Down, Weston, Larkhall, Bear Flat, Odd Down, Twerton, Southdown, Keynsham and surrounding areas. Some properties in Bath may be listed buildings or located within conservation areas, meaning additional requirements can apply when changing roofing materials or the appearance of a roof. Where relevant, we can help you understand what needs to be considered before work begins.
Roofing materials
The most appropriate roofing material depends on your existing roof, property type, roof pitch, budget and any planning or conservation requirements.
Slate Roofing
Natural slate is a popular choice for traditional properties and can provide an attractive, durable finish when correctly installed.
Clay Tiles
Clay tiles can be particularly appropriate for traditional and period properties, offering a classic appearance and a range of colours and profiles.
Concrete Tiles
Modern concrete tiles provide a durable and practical roofing option for many residential properties and are available in a variety of profiles and finishes.
Our team can discuss the advantages of different roofing materials and help you select an appropriate solution for your property.
How much does a new roof cost in Bristol & Bath?
The cost of a new roof varies considerably depending on the property. There is no single price for a new roof installation in Bristol or Bath, because every roof has different requirements. Factors that can affect the cost include:
-
The size of the roof
-
Roof pitch and design
-
Choice of roofing material
-
Condition of existing roof timbers
-
Number of chimneys
-
Valleys and roof junctions
-
Leadwork requirements
-
Scaffolding and access
-
Removal and disposal of existing materials
Whether the property has specific conservation or heritage requirements. For example, published 2026 Bristol roofing guides show significant variation between straightforward tiled re-roofs and larger or slate-covered period properties. Local Bath guides similarly show material and property size as major cost factors. These figures should only ever be treated as indicative because an accurate price requires an assessment of the individual roof. At Mogford Prescott, we provide a clear quotation based on the actual requirements of your property rather than relying on a generic price per roof.
