What the job involves

A re-roof is the biggest roof job most homeowners will ever commission. The full scope is: strip the old covering, inspect the rafters and purlins, replace failed battens and underlayment, and lay the new covering (tile, slate, or concrete). On a typical semi-detached house this is an 8–14 day job with scaffold.

Material choice drives most of the cost variance: concrete interlocking tile at the low end, clay plain tile mid-range, natural slate at the top. Listed and conservation-area properties may be restricted to specific materials.

Bristol — local context

Traditional material: Welsh slate on Georgian terraces, Pennant stone on older buildings.

Clifton Village, Hotwells, and large parts of central Bristol are conservation areas with dense Georgian and early-Victorian terraces where slate re-roofs generally have to match the original material and course.

What changes the price

  • Material choice — concrete interlocking, clay plain, natural slate, reclaimed.
  • Roof area in m² and complexity (gables, valleys, dormers, chimneys).
  • Whether the rafters can take the new covering’s weight.
  • Scaffold, skip, waste disposal, and Part L compliance work.

Timeline: Typical semi: 8–14 days on site. Larger detached or complex roof: 14–25 days.

Common questions

Is re-roofing cheaper than multiple repairs?

Once the roof is beyond about 15–20% failure and the underlayment has perished, repair becomes false economy. The honest test is cost per year of remaining life: a £12,000 re-roof at 100 years of expected life is cheaper per year than a £500 repair that buys you two years.

Do I need planning permission?

Like-for-like re-roofs are usually permitted development. Material changes (e.g. slate to concrete tile) on listed or conservation-area properties may need Listed Building Consent or a planning application. Part L Building Regs apply to any re-roof that renews 25%+ of the roof area — see the Part L guide.

What does full re-roof (strip & relay) typically cost in Bristol?

A typical full re-roof (strip & relay) job in Bristol falls in the £89–£210/m² range, with the middle of the market around £131/m².
