Project Overview
Cotswold Roofing & Guttering was commissioned to carry out a complete roof upgrade for a residential property in Cheltenham. The existing corrugated sheet roof had reached the end of its life, showing signs of leaks and structural fatigue. Our client required a more durable, weather-resistant solution that would provide long-term protection and improved insulation.
Our team removed the existing corrugated sheets and reconstructed sections of the roof structure. It installed a new EPDM rubber roofing system, creating a watertight, low-maintenance finish that will last for decades.
The Challenge
The old corrugated roof had been in place for many years and was beginning to fail in several areas. Cracks, corrosion, and water ingress were causing recurring leaks, particularly during heavy rainfall. In addition, the roof structure beneath had weakened, making it unsafe and unsuitable for re-cladding without significant rebuilding work.
The project required a complete overhaul: safely dismantling the original roofing materials, repairing the supporting framework, and introducing a modern, efficient flat roofing solution that would withstand Cheltenham’s variable weather conditions.
Our Approach
We began by safely removing the corrugated metal sheets and assessing the timber framework beneath. Once stripped, we identified sections of the existing roof structure that required reinforcement. Our skilled roofing team rebuilt and strengthened these areas to create a solid base for the new system.
After preparing the structure, we installed an EPDM rubber roofing system – chosen for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to UV damage. The seamless membrane was applied with precision to ensure complete waterproofing. EPDM’s low-maintenance nature makes it ideal for both residential and commercial properties, providing long-term reliability without frequent repairs.
Throughout the installation, we focused on ensuring proper drainage, ventilation, and aesthetic alignment with the rest of the property.
The Result
The finished roof delivered a clean, professional appearance and outstanding performance. The EPDM system provided an instant improvement in weatherproofing and insulation, while the rebuilt structure ensured long-term stability.
The client was delighted with the transformation, noting the modern look, reduced rainfall noise, and the complete elimination of leaks. This project demonstrates our ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with modern roofing technology, ensuring every installation is completed to the highest standard.
Client Feedback
