Tips on Choosing the Right Roofing Materials (Tiles, Slate, Flat Roofs, etc.)

Choosing the right roofing material is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when planning a new roof installation in Bristol. The material you choose will affect not just the appearance of your home, but also its durability, energy efficiency, and maintenance requirements.

At Brunel Roofing Bristol, we help homeowners across the region make informed decisions that suit their property type, budget, and long-term goals.

Here are some expert tips to help you choose the best roofing material:

1. Consider Your Property Type and Roof Structure

Not all materials suit every roof. For example:

Slate is ideal for pitched roofs and period properties
Tiles (concrete or clay) are great for both modern and traditional homes
Flat roofing systems like felt, GRP, or EPDM rubber are suited for extensions, garages, and outbuildings

Our new roof installations in Bristol are tailored to your property’s design and technical needs.

2. Factor in Budget and Longevity

While slate is more expensive, it can last over 100 years with minimal maintenance. Concrete tiles offer a great balance between cost and durability, while flat roofing materials such as EPDM rubber are cost-effective and low-maintenance for flat surfaces.

At Brunel Roofing Bristol, we’ll walk you through the best options to match your budget without compromising on quality.

3. Think About Weather Resistance

Bristol’s changing weather means your roof needs to withstand heavy rain, wind, and temperature fluctuations. Materials like slate and clay tiles offer exceptional resilience, while modern flat roofing systems are designed to prevent pooling and leakage.

4. Match Aesthetics to Your Home

The appearance of your roof plays a big role in your home’s curb appeal. We’ll help you choose a material that complements your property’s style—whether you’re after rustic clay tiles, clean slate, or a seamless flat finish.

5. Trust Local Expertise

The best material is only as good as its installation. At Brunel Roofing Bristol, our qualified roofers ensure every material is installed to manufacturer specifications, backed by full guarantees.

Highly recommend Brunel roofing! I shopped around for a couple of quotes for a new roof/timbers, parapet wall repair and chimney stack repointing - Brunel roofing were v thorough and identified issues that others didn’t during inspection, that would have cropped up with extra £££ as soon as the old roof was taken off. The quote was extremely reasonable compared to others I received, with high quality materials and the additional work included compared to other quotes. Jack and his team were highly efficient, communicative, respectful and did an excellent job. They talked me through the process and updated on progress during the work.
I really valued their transparency, efficiency and excellent quality - if you need anything roof related in Bristol, go with this company.

We've used Brunel roofing twice now (on different roofs!) and they've always been excellent, from the start, with realistic quotes that don't try to push us into unecessary work, through the communication, which is excellent, through to the work, which is timely, efficient, excellent quality with tons of photos of exactly what they did, and why, to leaving everything neat, clean and except for the fact our roof doesn't leak any more, we'd never have known they were there! 10/10, would highlly recommend.

We recently just had our flat roof done which we couldn’t be happier with, they talked me through the new epdm rubber and completed the job a lot quicker than i could’ve imagined! We’ve recommend the company to family and friends after they saw the end result! Big thanks to the team.
