Cirencester’s mix of historic Cotswold homes, post‑war builds, and modern extensions means roofing problems can vary widely across the town. From ageing felt roofs to weather‑worn garage extensions, many properties face issues that develop slowly over time but can lead to serious leaks if left untreated. The area’s open landscapes and seasonal extremes only add to the strain on older materials. Below, we’ve outlined the most common roofing issues we encounter in Cirencester — and why they’re so important to address before they become bigger, more expensive problems.
Ageing felt roofs on older properties. Many homes in Cirencester still have older felt roofs that are now reaching the end of their lifespan. These often show signs of blistering, cracking, and water ingress.
Weather exposure from open landscapes. Cirencester sits on relatively open terrain, meaning roofs take a beating from wind, rain, and frost. This accelerates wear on poorly installed or ageing flat roofs.
UV damage to older materials. Older felt and bitumen roofs become brittle under long‑term UV exposure, especially on south‑facing roofs.
DIY or low‑quality past repairs. We often see patch repairs that temporarily fix leaks but fail again within months, causing more damage underneath.
Modern high‑performance felt systems. We replace ageing felt roofs with durable, torch‑on felt systems designed to withstand Cirencester’s weather and last for decades.
EPDM rubber roofing for long‑term protection. Perfect for garages and extensions, EPDM offers a seamless, watertight finish that resists UV, frost, and standing water.
GRP fibreglass for complex shapes. Ideal for modern extensions or roofs with awkward detailing. GRP creates a fully bonded, joint‑free surface that eliminates leak points.
Full strip‑and‑replace service. Instead of patching over problems, we remove failed materials, inspect the deck, and rebuild the roof properly to prevent recurring issues.
Insulation upgrades for energy efficiency. We can upgrade your current flat roof to a warm‑roof system that reduces heat loss and complies with modern standards.
