Project Overview
At Cotswold Roofing & Guttering, we were recently contacted by the owner of a townhouse property in Cheltenham who had discovered a persistent leak in their bedroom ceiling. After a detailed inspection, our team identified the source of the issue – a compromised section of the roof at the rear of the property. To prevent further water ingress and protect the home’s structural integrity, we carried out a complete roof replacement on the rear section.
This project highlights our commitment to delivering long-lasting roofing solutions that restore both function and peace of mind.
Identifying the Problem
The homeowner noticed water staining on the bedroom ceiling after heavy rain. Upon inspection, it became clear that the roof’s aged materials and failing underlay had allowed moisture to penetrate. Several tiles were cracked, and water had begun seeping into the roof space, causing damp patches to appear inside the property.
Our initial survey, conducted using safe access methods, revealed that the rear section of the roof required immediate attention. A partial repair would not have provided a permanent solution, so our team recommended a complete replacement to ensure long-term protection.
Our Solution
The first step was to strip back the affected section of the roof, safely removing all damaged tiles and underlayment. Once cleared, we inspected the timber structure beneath to confirm there was no significant rot or decay. Any weakened timbers were replaced to provide a solid foundation for the new roofing system.
We then installed a high-quality breathable membrane designed to prevent moisture build-up while allowing the roof space to ventilate naturally. New treated battens were fitted, followed by a full re-tiling of the rear section using tiles that matched the existing roof style for a seamless finish.
The process was completed with precision and care, ensuring every detail met our high standards of workmanship.
The Outcome
The completed roof replacement restored the property’s watertight protection and improved its overall energy efficiency. The homeowner was delighted with the results – not only was the leak eliminated, but the rear elevation of the townhouse now has a refreshed, durable finish that complements the property’s original design.
By addressing the issue promptly, the homeowner avoided further interior damage and ensured the roof would remain secure through all seasons.

“Cotswold Roofing & Guttering were fantastic from start to finish. They quickly identified the cause of the leak and provided a clear solution.
