Roof Repairs Long Ashton

Long Ashton sits just south west of Bristol, beside Ashton Court, and its homes range from older stone cottages along the main road through the village to twentieth century houses on the roads leading off it. On the edge of the city and close to open ground, roofs here take the weather fully. Roof repairs in Long Ashton are often about catching small problems, like a slipped tile or cracked ridge, before a wet winter turns them into bigger ones.

We have been repairing roofs since 1993 and Long Ashton is part of our patch. Every job starts with a free survey and a fixed price in writing, carries a ten year guarantee, and nothing is paid until you are happy.

How Much Do Roof Repairs Cost in Long Ashton?

Every roof repair in Long Ashton is priced after we have seen the roof. Older cottages and newer homes can have similar symptoms but need very different repairs.

The main things that affect the price are:

  • What is actually causing the problem, which the survey confirms
  • The roof covering, whether tile, slate or a flat roof
  • The height of the property and the access and scaffold needed
  • How far any damage has spread, particularly to battens, underlay or timbers
  • Whether chimneys, valleys or flashings are involved
  • Matching materials on older stone cottages, compared with standard tiles on more modern homes

You get a clear, fixed price in writing before any work starts, and the survey and quote are free with no obligation.

Roof Leak Repairs in Long Ashton

On older Long Ashton properties, leaks often come from worn valleys, tired flashings around chimneys or underlay that has perished with age. On newer homes, cracked tiles and lifted flashings are more common. We look inside and out to find the real cause.

Slipped, Cracked and Missing Tile and Slate Repairs

We replace slipped, cracked and missing tiles and slates in Long Ashton, matching them to your existing roof so the repair does not stand out. A single tile is worth a call, and we are happy to put it right.

Ridge Tile Repairs

Ridge mortar breaks down with age and exposure, and a loose ridge is vulnerable in strong winds. We rebed and repoint ridge tiles, or fit a dry-fix ridge system where it suits the roof.

Flashing and Valley Repairs

Chimneys, dormers and extensions all rely on flashings to stay watertight where they meet the roof. We repair and replace failed flashings around chimneys, valleys and abutments in Long Ashton.

Storm Damage and Urgent Roof Repairs

Exposed roofs on the edge of the city can take a beating in a storm. We prioritise leaks and storm damage that are letting water in, make the roof safe quickly where needed, and then carry out a lasting repair. With our own scaffold, we are not waiting for anyone.

Repair or Replace?

Most roof problems we see in Long Ashton are repairable, and we will tell you when yours is. If the whole roof has reached the end of its life, we will show you what we found and set out the options in writing.

Roof Repair Questions

Anything not covered here, just ask. We would rather answer a question now than have you guess.

01275 401327

Do you charge for a roof repair quote?

No. Surveys and quotes are free and there is no obligation. You get a clear written price before any work starts.

Will you replace just one slipped tile?

Yes. No job is too small, and a single slipped tile is worth putting right before it lets water in.

How quickly can you come out to a leak?

We prioritise leaks and storm damage that are letting water in. Call us and we will get you booked in and, where needed, make the roof safe quickly.

Will the replacement tiles match my roof?

We take care to match the size, colour and profile of replacement tiles and slates to your existing roof, so the repair looks right against the rest of it and against your neighbours.

Does buildings insurance cover roof repairs?

It depends on your policy and on what caused the damage. Many policies treat sudden damage, such as a storm, differently from gradual wear and tear, so check your policy wording or speak to your insurer. We can give you a clear written quote for the repair.

What guarantee comes with a roof repair?

Every job carries a ten year guarantee, which we give you in writing when we sign the work off.

Do I have to pay anything up front?

No. You get a full written estimate before we start, and you only pay once the job is finished and you are satisfied with it.

How much will my roof repair cost?

It depends on what is wrong, the roof covering and the access needed. The cost section above sets out the main factors, or call us for a free survey and a fixed written price.
