Flat Roofing in Bristol

Flat roofs are everywhere in Bristol: over the back additions and kitchen extensions on Victorian terraces, on bay windows and dormers, and on the garages of postwar estates. Many are still old felt that has cracked, blistered or started to hold water. We repair and replace flat roofs across Bristol, fitting one-piece EPDM rubber that is cold-fitted and built to last.

We have been roofing since 1993. Every flat roof job starts with a free survey and a fixed price in writing, carries a ten year guarantee, and there is nothing to pay until the work is finished and you are happy.

When a Bristol flat roof leaks, the cause is often a split in old felt, a failed joint at the wall or water pooling where the deck has sagged. We find the source and repair it where the rest of the covering is sound, and we tell you honestly if it is past patching.

We fit one-piece EPDM rubber: a single sheet bonded down, with no seams across the roof to fail. It is fitted cold with no naked flame, which matters on a terrace where the roof sits right against next door, and it does not go brittle in the sun the way felt does. A properly laid rubber roof has a life expectancy of up to 50 years.

Rear extensions, kitchen extensions, dormers, bays and porches across Bristol all tend to have flat roofs. Each has its own detail where it meets the house, and those junctions are where many leaks begin. We finish every edge and upstand properly so the roof stays watertight where it meets the walls.
