ROOF REPLACEMENTS
Our Roof Replacements in Bedminster
Choosing who replaces your roof matters just as much as choosing the tiles that go on it. If you’re weighing up roofing companies near me for a re-roof, Cheltenham Roofing Service offers straightforward advice, careful planning and a clear explanation of each stage. You’ll know what is being done to your roof and why, from our first look at it until the work is complete.
Every replacement starts with an honest assessment of the roof you already have. Tiles and slates can look tired long before the roof stops doing its job, and a roof that looks fine from the street may be hiding perished underlay, rotting battens or failing leadwork. By checking each layer, we can tell you whether the whole roof needs renewing, whether one slope will do, or whether it needs replacing at all.
Because a replacement roof has to last, we want you to feel confident about the plan before any tiles come off. We’ll set out the options in plain English and agree the details with you first. To get started, contact Cheltenham Roofing Service and book your free roof inspection.
Tiled | Slate | Flat Re-Roofs
We replace roofs of all the common shapes and coverings, from tiled and slate pitched roofs on houses to flat roofs on extensions, garages and dormers. Whatever the type, the aim is the same: a sound structure beneath, a covering that suits the pitch and the building, and neatly finished details at the ridge, hips, valleys, verges and abutments.
Each roof type has its own details to get right, from the hip tiles on a hipped roof to the leadwork around a mansard’s dormers. Select your roof type below to find out more:
ROOFING SOLUTIONS
Planning Your Roof Replacement
Replacing a roof is easier to plan when you know what to look for and what the work involves. These sections cover the warning signs, the scope of the job, your choice of materials and the roofline along the eaves.
Signs a Roof Needs Replacing
One slipped tile is not a reason for a new roof. Replacement makes sense when faults are spread across the roof: slipped tiles or slates on several slopes, leaks that return after each repair, a dipping ridge, or tiles that flake and soak up water. Brittle underlay and soft battens seen from the loft are further signs, as are splits and blisters across most of a flat roof.
What a Re-Roof Involves
A re-roof renews the covering in one go rather than piece by piece. The roof structure normally stays, so the work concentrates on everything that sits on the rafters. Where only one slope has worn out, that slope alone may need re-covering. Scaffolding is usually required for safe access, and because so much of the roof is renewed, the job may need building regulations approval.
Picking the Right Covering
The right covering depends on the house’s style and age, the roof pitch and your budget. Natural slate and clay tiles often suit period homes, while concrete tiles are hard-wearing and usually cost less. Every tile has a minimum pitch it can be laid at, and a heavier covering than the original may mean strengthening the timbers. On a flat roof, the main choices are modern felt, single-ply EPDM or GRP fibreglass.
Renewing the Roofline
The roofline is where the new roof finishes, so re-roofing is the natural moment to look at it. Rotten timber fascias, broken soffits and sagging or leaking gutters can be renewed while access is already in place, usually in low-maintenance uPVC. The underlay and bottom row of tiles drain into the gutter, so a sound fascia and gutter help the new roof shed water as it should.
How We Replace Your Roof
Replacing a pitched roof follows a set order, starting at the timbers and working outwards, so nothing is covered up before it has been checked.
Flat roofs are stripped back to the deck in the same way. Soft or rotten boards are replaced first, then the new felt, EPDM or GRP covering is laid and finished with new edge trims.
A typical pitched re-roof includes:
If stripping the old roof uncovers anything unexpected, such as a rotten rafter, we’ll show you and agree what to do before the work carries on.
Could a Repair Still Do the Job?
Not every tired-looking roof needs replacing. Moss, the odd slipped tile or a damp patch near the chimney can look worrying, but if the battens are firm, the underlay is intact and most of the tiles or slates are sound, a targeted repair is usually the better choice and costs far less than a new roof.
That is why we look at the whole roof, not only the obvious damage. If repairs will put it right, we’ll say so and point you towards our roof repairs service rather than a re-roof. If replacement is the better long-term answer, we’ll explain the reasons clearly and leave the decision with you.
HOW WE WORK
Our Roofing Process
A clear, step-by-step process keeps a roof replacement organised, from the first inspection to the final check.
Initial Roof Inspection
Before recommending a re-roof, we look over the roof from outside and from the loft, judging the condition of the coverings, underlay, battens and timbers, and noting any leadwork, fascias or guttering that would need renewing too.
Assessing the Roof
We look at every layer of the roof, from the coverings down to the timbers, to confirm whether a full replacement, a single slope or a repair is the right answer.
Your Options Explained
We explain what we found and talk you through the coverings and details that suit your property before any work is agreed.
Replacing the Roof
The old roof is stripped and replaced layer by layer, using materials suited to the pitch and style of the building.
Final Inspection
Once the new roof is complete, we check the coverings, ridge, flashing and roofline to make sure everything has been finished to a high standard.
