A completed roof replacement and EPDM project in Southmead

The customer explained the roofing problems and leaks to Shane. He provided a competitive quote to complete the project, giving the customer a proposed route forward. Alpine arranged the scaffolding and completed a replacement tiled roof together with a new EPDM flat roof on the adjoining area. The customer was delighted with the finished job.

These photographs record the actual property and completed work. Read the full Southmead roof replacement case study for the customer consultation, quotation and scaffolding arrangements. Photographs are useful evidence of the visible transformation; a roof assessment is still needed to establish the condition of another property.

Roof leak repairs in Southmead

A ceiling stain, dripping water or damp loft insulation can indicate a roofing problem. Water may travel before it becomes visible indoors, so the stain alone does not identify the entry point. Tell Alpine when the leak occurs, whether it follows wind-driven rain and whether the roof has been repaired previously.

Potential defects include slipped tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorated ridge mortar, worn flat roof coverings and blocked drainage. The appropriate repair depends on the source of the leak and the condition of the surrounding materials. A localised fault can sometimes be repaired; repeated patching may be unsuitable where deterioration is widespread.

Explore roof leak repairs in Bristol and the roof inspections and maintenance guide. For an urgent problem, contact Alpine directly to check response availability. Take photographs from a safe position rather than climbing onto the roof.

Pitched roof replacement and EPDM flat roofing

A replacement quotation should describe the roof covering, the preparation required, access arrangements and how adjoining details will be treated. Ask what happens if damaged decking or other concealed defects are found once the existing covering is removed. Agree how any additional work would be explained and authorised.

For a garage, extension or adjoining flat roof, EPDM is one covering option to discuss. The roof needs a suitable supporting deck, an appropriate drainage arrangement and carefully considered edge and wall junctions. Choosing the membrane is part of the specification; preparation and detailing also matter.
