We've built G M Robinson Roofing on personal recommendations from Bristol homeowners. That doesn't happen by accident — it happens because we treat every roof like it's our own.
One of the most common complaints about roofers? They don't show up. We do. If we've booked you in for Tuesday at 9am, we're on your driveway with the ladders out. No ghosting, no rescheduling chains.
A large portion of our jobs come from neighbours, friends and family of past customers. After 30+ years, that's the clearest possible sign we're doing something right — and we don't take it for granted.
We come out, take a proper look, and give you an honest written quote. If your roof doesn't need a full replacement, we'll tell you. If it just needs a few tiles re-bedding, that's what you'll pay for.
We're proud Federation of Master Builders members and listed on Checkatrade with a 9.78/10 average. These accreditations mean accountability — and we work hard to keep them.
We're not a franchise, we're not a national brand parachuting in. We're a Bristol family business that's been here for three decades — and we'll be here next year, and the year after, when you need us again.
The same crew that turned up to quote your job is the crew that does the work. No sub-contractors disappearing on you mid-project, no surprise faces. And when we leave, your driveway and garden are how we found them.
Free, No-Obligation
Worried about a leak, a slipped tile, or just want peace of mind before winter? We'll come out, inspect the full roof, and give you a written estimate — at no cost and with no pressure to book.
Verified Bristol customer review.
Used G M Robinson for a full re-roof on our Henleaze property after years of patch repairs. Honest quote, turned up exactly when they said, and left the driveway spotless. Would recommend without hesitation — and have done, three times already.

Had a serious leak after a storm — called G M Robinson on the Monday morning, they were on the roof Tuesday afternoon. Found the cause, replaced the lead flashing, and the price was exactly what they quoted. Old-school proper tradesmen.

G M Robinson installed two Velux windows in our loft conversion in Clifton. Tidy work, no mess, finished a day early. The team explained everything as they went and the lead flashing around the windows looks beautiful. Honest pricing too.

Replaced the entire flat roof on our Bedminster shop. Quoted three companies — G M Robinson weren't the cheapest but they were the most thorough survey, and the only ones who explained why the existing felt had failed. Job took four days, on time, on budget.
Verified Bristol customer review.
My elderly father needed his fascias and guttering replaced. He's deaf and was nervous about strangers in the house — the team was patient, kind, made sure he understood each step, and didn't try to upsell. Three years on, the work still looks brand new. Properly grateful.
Verified Bristol customer review.
Recommended to me by a neighbour who used them for her bay roof. Now I'm doing the same — if you're a Bristol homeowner reading reviews trying to pick a roofer, save yourself the effort and just call G M Robinson. Fair price, proper job, no surprises.
