When to Consider Roof Replacements

Knowing when to replace your roof is crucial to maintaining the structural integrity and safety of your property. Over time, roofs can deteriorate due to weather damage, age or poor maintenance, making roof replacements an eventual necessity.

With pitched roofs, common signs that indicate the need for a replacement include a large number of damaged or missing slates or tiles, weakened battens, and rotten or sagging structures. If the roof structure is significantly compromised or the materials are no longer repairable, bringing in a roofing contractor for full pitched roof replacement may be required to ensure the safety and longevity of your Bristol, Clevedon or Nailsea property.

When it comes to flat roofing, signs such as pooling water, damaged felt, or cracks in the surface are typical indicators that a complete replacement could be on the cards. If your flat roof has been exposed to wear and tear for an extended period, or if it is unable to withstand heavy rainfall, replacement may be the best option.

How We Undertake Roof Replacements

Summers Roofing Ltd follows a comprehensive process for every roof replacement to ensure the highest quality results. Whether you require a flat or pitched roof replacement, our attention to detail and expert knowledge makes us the roofing contractor to choose if you live or work in or around Bristol, Clevedon and Nailsea.

The typical roof replacement involves the following process:

Initial Consultation & Inspection: We start by thoroughly inspecting your existing roof to assess its condition and identify the need for repairs or complete replacement. We evaluate the structure, materials and integrity of the roof to recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution.
Material Selection: We offer a wide range of high-quality materials for both pitched roofs and flat roofing. For pitched roofs, we often recommend slate or concrete tiles, known for their durability and weather protection. For flat roofing, we use EPDM, fibreglass or felt. Learn about the differences on our dedicated flat roofing page.
Removal of the Old Roof: If replacement is necessary, we carefully strip away the existing roof. This includes removing tiles, slates and any deteriorated materials. We’ll also remove old leadwork and any other components that need replacing to ensure a watertight and secure finish.
Structural Reinforcement: If needed, we replace any damaged or rotten battens, beams or timber. We take extra care to ensure that the roof structure is strong and sound, so the new roof can perform effectively for years to come.
Installation of New Roof: Whether it’s flat roofing or pitched roofing, we ensure the materials are installed properly and in accordance with best practices. We’re a roofing contractor that insists on working with high-quality materials, installing them with care to make for a secure and weather resistant end product.
Leadwork & Final Touches: We replace any leadwork around the roof edges, chimneys and valleys to prevent water penetration. We also carry out a detailed inspection to ensure everything is in perfect condition and will perform reliably.

Our roof replacements come with 10-year guarantees, providing peace of mind to Bristol, Clevedon and Nailsea clients while ensuring their investment is well protected.

Flat Roofing vs Pitched Roofing

When considering roof replacements, you may wonder whether to choose a flat roof or a pitched roof. Both types of roofs offer distinct advantages depending on the property type, location and specific requirements.

Flat Roofing – Flat roofs are ideal for modern homes, extensions and commercial buildings. Materials such as EPDM, fibreglass and felt are durable and offer excellent waterproofing. They are typically easier and quicker to install compared to pitched roofs, making them a cost-effective option. When it comes to flat roof replacements, we work with a variety of materials tailored to your specific needs. Our roofs are built with a slight 10% slant to prevent water from pooling, but we also provide guttering services if necessary.
Pitched Roofing Pitched roofs are more traditional and offer several advantages, particularly in terms of durability and water drainage. Pitched roof replacements are often required when the structure is beyond repair or the materials are outdated. Slate and concrete tiles are common choices for the pitched roofs we construct around Bristol, Clevedon and Nailsea, offering a classic look and exceptional longevity. Slate roofs are known for their strength and durability, while concrete tiles offer a cost-effective solution without compromising performance.
