Roofer in Greenbank
Roof repairs, re-roofing and leadwork for Greenbank’s late-Victorian terraces, just east of Easton.
Rows of 1890s terraces beside a Victorian cemetery
Greenbank sits immediately east of Easton, with Eastville to the north-east and Whitehall to the south. Most of its housing is terraced and dates from the 1890s, laid out in long, regular streets that give the area its character.
The neighbourhood takes its name from Greenbank Cemetery, opened in 1871. Its chapels, designed by Henry Masters and listed at Grade II, are built of squared Pennant rubble under a slate roof with a striped pattern and a decorative iron ridge, a reminder of how carefully Victorian Bristol detailed its roofs.
Roofing jobs we see in Greenbank
Party-wall chimney stacks
Long 1890s terraces mean a chimney stack on almost every party wall. Cracked flaunching and perished flashings are frequent leak points.
Rear additions
Two-storey back additions with their own small roofs, often flat or very shallow, and a valley or abutment where they meet the main house.
Long shared gutter runs
Continuous eaves gutters along a terrace, where one blocked section or failed joint affects the houses either side.
Tired original coverings
Roofs that have been patched for decades and are approaching the point where a re-cover is better value than more repairs.
