The Problem

This Ashley Down property had pipes sticking up through the flat roof surface. These spots are often where water gets in because it’s hard to seal around curved pipes properly. Most flat roof leaks happen at these weak points.

The old roof covering couldn’t handle these pipe areas well, leaving the homeowner worried about future water damage.

Our Solution

Custom Pipe Boxing

We built timber boxes around all the pipes to create clean, square surfaces. This simple approach makes waterproofing much easier and more reliable than trying to seal around individual pipes.

Premium EPDM Installation

We covered the entire roof with high-quality EPDM rubber membrane, including over the pipe boxes. This creates one continuous waterproof layer with no weak seams.

Professional Lead Work

All edges got proper lead flashings that bend naturally when the building moves or temperatures change. This prevents cracks that let water through.

The Results

The new roof gives excellent protection with very little maintenance needed. EPDM rubber handles Bristol weather perfectly – it won’t crack in sun or freeze, and it lasts for decades.

By fixing the pipe problem properly, we’ve stopped the most common cause of flat roof leaks. The homeowner now has complete peace of mind about their roof, no matter what Bristol’s weather brings.
