New Roofs in Bath

The price of a new roof in Bath varies more than in most places, because the buildings vary so much. A 1930s semi in Weston and a Georgian townhouse with parapets and valleys are very different jobs, and we price each one after a survey.

The main things that affect the price are:

• The size and pitch of the roof
• The type of property, whether a terrace, semi, detached house or bungalow
• Tile or slate choice, and whether it is being matched to a period property
• The state of the timbers once the old covering is off
• Access and scaffold requirements
• Any extras such as new flashings, insulation or rooflights
• The volume of waste coming off the roof and its disposal
• Whether the property is listed or in a conservation area, which can dictate the materials used and add planning time before work starts

No two roofs are the same, so we price each job on its own after a free survey, and you get a clear, fixed price in writing before any work starts.

Natural slate is the traditional roof across Georgian and Victorian Bath. We re-roof in natural slate or fibre-cement slate to match the property, dressing new flashings into chimneys, abutments and valleys. On streets where the roofline is part of the view, the finish matters as much as the weatherproofing.
