EPDM roof replacement on Gloucester Road, Bristol

Alpine Home Maintenance Ltd completed a roof replacement and EPDM installation at a property on Gloucester Road, Bristol, following leaks and problems with rotting roof timbers. Shane discussed the roofing issues and quotation with the customer, and the work was completed within the agreed timeframe.

This case study records the replacement of an existing sloping tiled roof with an EPDM roof installation. It shows why the condition beneath a leaking roof matters as well as the visible covering.

The problem: leaks and deteriorated roof timbers

The customer needed help with a leaking roof and rotting timbers. The supplied photograph shows the existing tiled covering and its junction with the building. The leaks and rotting timbers were central to the customer’s enquiry and the discussion about the proposed work.

For a homeowner, repeated water ingress is a reason to arrange an assessment rather than rely on the appearance of the outer covering alone. An appropriate quotation should explain which parts of the roof need attention and whether a repair or replacement is proposed. Alpine’s roof inspections and maintenance guide explains how an assessment can inform the next step.

Shane’s discussion and the roofing quotation

Shane spoke with the customer about the roofing problems and discussed the quotation for the work. This gave the customer a clear starting point for understanding the proposed replacement and the timeframe.

When comparing roofing quotations, homeowners should ask what is included, how any concealed damage will be handled and how the work will be scheduled. The roof replacement costs and quotation guide provides questions to help prepare an enquiry. A property-specific assessment is needed before a reliable price can be given.

Replacing the existing roof with an EPDM installation

The project involved roofing repair and replacement, with an EPDM roof installation following the problems with the existing sloping tiled roof. The leaks and timber deterioration formed the background to the agreed work.

A roof described as “flat” still needs an appropriate drainage arrangement. The precise roof build-up, falls and junction details should be assessed for the individual property; a material choice alone does not settle the design. For more about suitable roof types and quotation considerations, see Alpine’s EPDM rubber roofing service guide.
