Brislington is one of BS4's most diverse residential hubs—and that brings a unique mix of roofing challenges across different eras of architecture.
The area spans everything from original 19th-century slate terraces near St Anne's and Sandy Park Road to the 1930s and post-war pebble-dashed semis climbing up towards Broomhill and Hungerford. Down along the A4 Bath Road corridor, properties are continuously exposed to heavy traffic vibrations and South West weather fronts coming up the Avon Gorge.
Get the materials or slope calculations wrong, and you end up with premature tile degradation, standing water on flat extensions, or persistent leaks along aging valley gutters. At TD Roofing, we know BS4 intimately. We know which concrete tiles match mid-century Brislington semis, how to upgrade leaking bitumen felt extensions to seamless EPDM rubber, and how to fix slipped slates on older Victorian terraces without forcing an unnecessary full replacement.
We use 4K drone surveys to inspect every roof before quoting—giving you high-definition photographic proof of what’s happening up top before any work begins.
From the slate roofs along Wick Road and Sandy Park to the flat-roofed kitchen conversions tucked away in Broomhill and St Anne's—every property in BS4 has its own demands. We know the area as your Roofers in Bristol, and exactly what each roof type requires.

TD Roofing Contractors is run by Thomas Doherty—an Irish-born tradesman who came to Bristol over 20 years ago and built his business on transparency and word-of-mouth recommendations.
Thomas is hands-on on every job. There is no call center, no hidden subcontractors, and no junior crew left unsupervised. When TD Roofing arrives at your Brislington property, you get experienced tradespeople who deliver straight answers, clear photos, and fixed prices.
We are fully vetted on Checkatrade—every review is independently verified.
We offer rapid-response emergency callouts across BS4. In most cases during normal business hours, we can have an inspection team on-site within 2 hours to secure the roof and stop water entering your property.
Not always. Concrete tiles from this era lose their protective top coat over 70–80 years and become porous, but if the underlying timber battens and felt are sound, localized repairs or tile replacement may suffice. Our free 4K drone survey will show you the exact condition of the felt underneath.
We strongly recommend Firestone EPDM Rubber or GRP Fiberglass over traditional torch-on felt. EPDM is installed as a single seamless sheet, meaning there are no joints to fail, and it carries a lifespan of 30+ years.
For minor gutter repairs or initial inspections, we usually don't need scaffolding. We use high-resolution drone technology for inspections and ladder systems for minor repairs, keeping costs down whenever safely possible.
Yes. All new roof installations and major replacements come with a full 10-year workmanship guarantee, alongside manufacturer warranties of up to 50 years on new tiles and slate.
1. Concrete Tile Granule Loss & Porosity (1930s–1950s Semis) On the mid-century homes around Broomhill and Hungerford, original concrete tiles are reaching the end of their design life. As the factory surface coating wears off, the tile absorbs moisture, leading to moss growth, freeze-thaw cracking, and damp loft spaces.
2. Perished Bitumen Felt on Flat Roof Extensions Many terrace properties in Brislington feature 1970s or 1980s flat-roofed kitchen or bathroom extensions. Old mineral felt degrades under UV light, leading to blistering, cracking at the edges, and hidden leaks under the decking.
3. Nail Sickness on Victorian Terraces The original iron slate nails on 100-year-old terraces near Sandy Park Road and Wick Road gradually corrode. As the nails rust through, slates slip down into the guttering—a clear indicator that the fixings across the entire roof slope are failing.
4. Chimney Stack & Flashing Decay Properties along high-wind zones and main transit corridors experience accelerated mortar degradation around chimney pots and lead flashings. Unsealed lead lets driving rain travel down internal party walls, causing damp ceiling patches in upper bedrooms.
If you have an active leak, suspect tile damage, or want a fixed quote on a re-roof, call Thomas directly.
We will carry out a free 4K drone survey, walk you through the footage, and provide a transparent written estimate with zero obligation.
