Roof repairs fix specific faults in a pitched or flat roof, such as slipped or cracked tiles, loose ridges, failed flashing, leaking valleys or chimney defects, to stop water getting in without replacing the whole roof.
Clevedon sits within our coverage for roof repairs, as do neighbouring Nailsea, Portishead and Weston-super-Mare. Before giving a price we want to see the property: the condition of what's there now, the access, and anything that might need extra work. The guide range for the South West is £300–£1,550 including VAT, and your written quote will spell out exactly what that covers.

What are homes like around Clevedon?
Somerset's building stone varies widely: Bath stone in Bath, golden Ham stone around Yeovil, blue lias in villages on the Levels and Mendip stone in the north. Weston-super-Mare has Victorian villas and terraces, Taunton and Bridgwater have brick terraces and post-war estates, and new housing continues to spread around the larger towns.
Stone properties often need lime pointing, stone repairs and windows that respect conservation areas, especially in Bath. Brick terraces suit loft rooms and extensions, and estate homes commonly take garage conversions.
Whatever era your Clevedon home dates from, we plan roof repairs around how it is actually built rather than a one-size-fits-all specification.
Do you need permission in Clevedon?
Which rules apply depends on where you live. For Clevedon, the answer is England, and the points below reflect that; we verify them with the council before quoting.
Re-roofing a house with similar materials does not usually need planning permission in England. Listed buildings and conservation areas may need consent if the covering changes.
Replacing more than a quarter of a roof’s covering counts as renovation under Building Regulations, so the work is notified and the roof insulation may need upgrading. Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
What happens after you get in touch?
A visit to your home
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about roof repairs.
Price and scope agreed
You get the price in writing, itemised so you can see where the money goes. As long as the specification stays the same, that is the price you pay for roof repairs.
Dates and permissions
Before anyone starts, we confirm the programme in writing, check whether consents are required and arrange deliveries. If a skip or scaffolding on the road needs a permit, we apply for it.
On site to finish
During the work we protect the areas around it and tidy up at the end of each day. Once complete, we check the finish, remove our materials and hand over paperwork such as building control sign-off where it applies.
How we work
Roof repairs in Clevedon: questions
Do I need planning permission in Clevedon?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Clevedon is in England, so England's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
How much does a roof repair cost?
A typical roof repair, such as replacing slipped tiles, rebedding a ridge or renewing flashing, costs £300–£1,550. Small repairs reachable by ladder sit at the lower end, while jobs needing scaffolding or several repairs cost more. Matching old tiles or slates and hidden damage to battens can also affect the price. We explain what we find and confirm a fixed price before starting.
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
Can you do an emergency roof repair?
After storm damage, a temporary repair such as sheeting or refixing loose tiles can stop water getting in until a permanent repair can be made. We aim to attend as quickly as possible, but availability depends on weather and demand, especially after widespread storms. In the meantime, catch drips in containers, move valuables and switch off lights near any wet ceiling.
How can I spot roof problems early?
Spotting roof problems early saves money. Look from the ground after storms for slipped or missing tiles, cracked ridge mortar or debris in gutters. In the loft, check for daylight, damp patches, stained timbers or wet insulation. Inside, watch for ceiling stains and peeling paint near outside walls. Clearing gutters each autumn prevents overflow damage.
