Roofers in Bath & the South West

Roofers in Bath for Georgian and period homes

Bath is a World Heritage city built largely in Bath stone, and its roofs are part of what makes the skyline worth protecting. The Georgian terraces and crescents carry natural slate, stone slates and clay tiles, many with parapets, lead-lined gutters behind them and chimney stacks shared along the row. The suburbs that grew up later are roofed in concrete interlocking tiles, which call for a different approach altogether. As roofers in Bath, our first job is to identify what your house has, what the neighbouring roofs use and which details have to survive the work. That survey costs you nothing, and you get photographs of the roof alongside a fixed written quote within 48 hours, valid for 30 days.

Conservation areas and listed buildings in Bath

The city centre sits inside a conservation area and thousands of Bath's buildings are listed, so a roof here comes with rules. Swapping slate for concrete tile, adding roof windows to a front slope or altering a chimney can each need consent, and work that affects the character of a listed building needs listed building consent before the scaffold goes up. Check with Bath and North East Somerset Council before you settle on a material. We make that easier by setting out the existing covering, the replacement we propose and the key details on your written quote, so you have the information to hand when you contact the planning team. Where like-for-like is the right answer, we tell you so, and we will not quote a cheaper material the council is likely to turn down.

Recent Bath re-roofs

Our South West roofing team is led by Ewen, and in spring 2026 the crew completed six roofs in three weeks in and around Bath. One house was finished in premium Crest Platinum tiles with new fascias and soffits fitted at the same time. Another went back on in Crest Double Pantiles, Rustic Red, under a maintenance-free dry ridge. Several more were re-covered in Crest Double Roman tiles in Rustic Red, laid over new felt and treated battens with ventilation and dry ridge, all to building regulations. Building Control checked each full re-roof, and every one is guaranteed in writing for 20 years. The Bath re-roofs case study has the photos and a customer video.

Roofing in the towns around Bath

From the city, the team works west to Keynsham and Bristol, south to Radstock and Midsomer Norton, and east across the Wiltshire border to Bradford-on-Avon, Trowbridge, Melksham and Chippenham. Weavers' cottages, Victorian villas and modern estate homes each need their own approach, and we price what the roof actually needs: a roof repair where the covering has life left in it, a new roof where it does not. Our new roof cost guide gives you the UK guide figures before we visit. Charles Stevens, the owner, calls every enquiry back the same day and prices the job himself, and our own crews do the work, never subcontractors.
