When does a garage roof in Clevedon need replacing?
Garage roofs in Clevedon take the weather head-on, often with no shelter from surrounding buildings. Wind lifts loose edge trims, frost works at cracked felt, and leaves block small gutters. When several of these faults appear together, a new roof with fresh edges is usually better value than chasing each one.
In and around Clevedon, flat roofs are typically found on bungalows with flat-roofed side extensions and dormers, and on shops with flat-roofed rear stores below flats. The South West averages roughly 1,260 mm of rain a year and many roofs face wind off the Atlantic, so we specify fixings and edge details for wind uplift as well as drainage.
How much does a new garage roof cost in Clevedon?
For Clevedon we use South West rates: £1,650–£2,900 is the guide for a typical 18 m² garage roof in EPDM, VAT included. The fixed price comes after a free survey for new and replacement roofs.
| Job | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Single garage (18 m²), EPDM rubber | £1,650–£2,900 |
| Single garage (18 m²), torch-on felt | £1,550–£2,700 |

How long does a garage roof replacement take?
A single garage roof is typically finished in one or two days, and a double garage in two or three, weather permitting. Deck repairs and new fascias add time.
Disruption is light. You will need to empty or cover anything stored in the garage, because dust and debris can fall through gaps in an old deck during the strip. The garage door may be out of use for part of the job, and the car is best parked elsewhere so a skip can sit on the drive. We keep the roof weathertight at the end of each day.
What's included?
- Written workmanship guarantee, with material guarantees registered where available
- Strip-out of old felt, chippings and waste
- Free survey of the deck, fall and gutter line
- New membrane dressed into fresh edge and drip trims
Building regulations in England
Replacing more than half of a flat roof over a heated room usually counts as renovating a thermal element, so the roof is insulated to around 0.16 W/m²K where that's technically and economically feasible, and the work is notified to building control: the council or a registered building control approver, unless a registered competent person self-certifies it. A roof on a new extension is built to 0.15 W/m²K. Patch repairs, and most unheated detached garages, don't trigger the upgrade. Structural changes, or a new covering that adds 15% or more to the roof's weight, also need approval. More on the rules.

How much does a new garage roof cost in Clevedon?
£1,650–£2,900 for a typical 18 m² garage roof in EPDM, at South West guide rates including VAT. The fixed price comes after a free survey for new and replacement roofs.
Can a garage roof be replaced in one day?
A small single garage with a sound deck can often be stripped and re-covered in a day. Deck repairs, a double garage or poor weather can stretch it to two or three.
Should I insulate my garage roof?
Only if the garage is heated or you plan to use it as a room. Insulating a cold, unheated garage roof can cause condensation unless it is designed carefully, so we advise case by case.
