Roofing in Cheltenham& across Gloucestershire —honest work, fair prices.

Our general roofing service covers the everyday work that keeps a roof watertight — slipped or cracked tiles, leaking valleys, failed lead flashing, broken ridge mortar, splits on flat roofs and full EPDM installations on extensions. We diagnose properly, repair where possible, and only recommend bigger work when it genuinely is the right call.

Suited to homeowners across Cheltenham, Gloucester, the Cotswolds and the wider South West with pitched or flat roofs — concrete or clay tiles, natural slate, lead detailing, felt or modern EPDM. We work on terraces, semis, detached homes, dormer bungalows, extensions and outbuildings.

Book at the first sign of a leak, after a storm, when a tile slips visibly out of line, when ridge mortar starts to crumble, or when a flat roof shows ponding, splits or bubbling. A short repair visit now usually avoids a much larger bill later.

Roofing is the single most important weather barrier on the building. Small faults — a slipped tile, a lifted lead, a hairline split on a flat roof — let water in slowly and quietly, rotting timbers and ruining ceilings long before the damage shows downstairs.

Real risks

• Slipped or cracked tiles letting water track onto the felt and through to the rafters underneath.
• Failed lead flashing around chimneys and abutments — one of the most common hidden leak sources.
• Cracked ridge mortar lifting in high wind, taking ridge tiles with it.
• Ponding, blistering or splits on flat roofs that develop into full leaks at the next downpour.
• Damp staining on upstairs ceilings that gets blamed on plumbing when it's actually the roof above.

Common mistakes

• Patching a leak with sealant from the inside instead of fixing the cause on the outside.
• Replacing a whole roof when a localised repair would have lasted another 10–15 years.
• Walking a fragile roof in standard boots and cracking more tiles than the original fault.
• Ignoring lead flashing because 'the tiles look fine' — flashings fail long before tiles do.
• Leaving a flat roof split through winter, when freeze-thaw turns a small split into a full failure.

Materials we work on

We work with concrete interlocking tiles (Marley, Redland, Sandtoft), clay plain tiles and pantiles, natural Welsh and Spanish slate, lead flashings and soakers, ridge and verge mortars, traditional felt flat roofs and modern EPDM rubber membranes. Each material has its own correct technique — we don't mix and match.

Methods we use

Localised tile and slate replacement, ridge re-bedding and re-pointing, valley clearing and re-lining, lead flashing renewal at chimneys and abutments, flat roof patch repairs, and full EPDM flat roof installations on extensions, dormers and garages. Access via roof ladders, towers or scaffold depending on the job.

Variations of the service

Single-tile replacement after storm damage; full ridge re-bed on properties with crumbling mortar; lead flashing renewal at chimney stacks; flat roof repairs to felt and rubber surfaces; new EPDM flat roof installation on extensions and outbuildings; minor roofline repairs alongside fascia and gutter work.

Situations it applies to

Common call-outs: post-storm slipped or missing tiles, water staining on upstairs ceilings traced back to a flashing leak, crumbling ridge mortar visible from the ground, persistent flat roof leaks after years of patch jobs, and homeowners wanting a brand-new EPDM flat roof on an extension instead of repeating felt failures every few years.

Residential vs commercial

Mostly residential — terraces, semis, detached, dormers and extensions across Cheltenham, Gloucester, Cirencester, Stroud and the Cotswolds. Light commercial roofing repairs handled on request, with where required.
