Roofing in Portishead, done properly
Portishead is part of the North Somerset patch Jon covers from Weston-super-Mare — and you deal with him directly, start to finish.
Whether your home is one of the town’s older properties or a much newer house, the approach is the same: look at the roof properly, explain what’s going on in plain terms, and quote for the work it genuinely needs.
Jon has more than 30 years of hands-on roofing experience. Slate is his specialism, and he works with all types of tile, flat roofs, leadwork and rooflines.

Services
Repairs, replacements, flat roofs, slate and tile
The main jobs Jon carries out for Portishead homeowners.
Roof replacements
When repairs no longer make sense, a full re-roof in slate or tile, with new felt and battens where required.
Roof replacements
Flat roofing
Repairs and maintenance for flat-roofed extensions, garages and dormers — and a straight answer when one needs replacing.
Flat roofingPortishead properties
Older roofs, newer estates
Portishead has grown a great deal in recent decades, so roofs around the town vary more than in most places.
-
Newer homes
Many of the town’s newer houses have concrete interlocking tiles, often with dry-fixed ridges and verges. Typical jobs include replacing cracked or slipped tiles, re-securing loose ridge or verge pieces, and sorting leaks around roof windows and soil pipes.
-
Older properties
The older parts of Portishead have Victorian and Edwardian houses where slate roofs, chimneys and leadwork are more common — and slate is Jon’s specialism.
-
Flat roofs
Extensions, garages and dormers with flat roofs need regular attention. Ponding water, splits and failed edges are the usual culprits when they start to leak.
-
Exposure on the estuary
Facing the Severn Estuary, Portishead gets its share of strong winds and driving rain, which tests ridge tiles, flashing and gutters.
Roof maintenance
Simple roof checks for Portishead homeowners
You don’t need to go up a ladder to spot most early warning signs. A few minutes from the garden and the loft can save a bigger bill later.
-
01
Look from the ground
After a windy spell, check for slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates, and anything sitting in the gutters that shouldn’t be.
-
02
Watch the gutters in the rain
Water spilling over the edge usually means a blockage or a joint that has failed — and that water ends up in walls and the roof edge.
-
03
Check the loft after heavy rain
Look for damp patches on the timbers or felt, drips, or daylight coming through. Note where they are; it helps pinpoint the problem.
-
04
Keep an eye on the chimney
Lead flashing that has lifted or split where the chimney meets the roof is one of the most common causes of leaks.
-
05
Flat roofs after rain
Puddles that are still there a couple of days later suggest a drainage or falls problem worth looking at.
-
06
Leave the climbing to a roofer
Please don’t go up on the roof yourself. If you spot something, call Jon on 07429 335555.

Do you cover Portishead?
Yes. Portishead is part of the North Somerset area Jon covers from his base in Weston-super-Mare.
Can you fix a roof on a newer house?
Yes. Newer roofs still develop problems — cracked or slipped concrete tiles, loose ridge or verge pieces, and leaks around roof windows and pipes. Jon will find the cause and put it right.
Do you replace roofs as well as repair them?
Yes. If a roof has reached the end of its life, Jon can strip and re-roof it in slate or tile. See roof replacements.
Do you work on flat-roofed extensions and garages?
Yes. Jon repairs and maintains flat roofs on extensions, garages, dormers and porches. See flat roofing.
Can I send photos of the problem first?
Yes — you can add up to five photos with the quote form. They help Jon understand the problem before he comes out, although he’ll normally need to see the roof to give you a firm price.
