Services They Offer

Tiled Roofing

Tile roofing remains one of the most popular choices for Bristol homes. Roof King works with both clay and concrete tiles :



Clay tiles offer a premium, timeless finish and can last 60 to over 100 years with proper care .



Concrete tiles provide a cost-effective and highly durable option, typically lasting 40–60 years .



Whether it's a new installation, replacement, or repair, the team follows UK building standards for a long-lasting finish .



Slate Roofing

Slate is prized for its exceptional durability and timeless beauty. Roof King specialises in both natural and man-made slate :



Natural slate can last 80–150 years and significantly boosts property value .



Man-made slate offers a lighter, more affordable alternative with a lifespan of 20–60 years .



From full installations to individual slate repairs, they handle it all .



Roof Repairs

Storm damage, broken tiles, and leaks are their bread and butter. They offer emergency make-safe services and free inspections to diagnose the root cause . One customer with a leaky gutter that two other tradespeople couldn't fix found Roof King diagnosed the problem properly, quoted clearly, and fixed it without hard-selling extras .



Flat Roofing

Many Bristol extensions and garages sit under ageing felt roofs. Roof King replaces these with modern GRP (fibreglass) systems that handle standing water far more effectively than traditional materials .



Roofline and Guttering Work

Timber fascias, soffits, and gutters on older Bristol homes are often past their best. Roof King replaces them with low-maintenance uPVC and installs new guttering set to proper falls .
