Flat Roofing Specialists in Plymouth
High-Performance GRP & EPDM Rubber Roofing Solutions.

Most homeowners I speak to are looking for something more reliable than the old-fashioned felt roofs of the past. That's why I focus on modern systems like GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and EPDM rubber. GRP fibreglass is a fantastic choice if you want a seamless, incredibly tough finish that's virtually vandal-proof and looks great on modern extensions. On the other hand, EPDM rubber roofing is a high-performance, flexible membrane that handles temperature changes beautifully without cracking. Both options offer incredible longevity compared to traditional methods. I also install 'warm deck' systems, where insulation is placed above the roof joists to keep your home warmer and prevent condensation. If your current roof has poor drainage, I can use tapered 'firrings' to create a proper 'fall,' ensuring rainwater runs straight into your gutters rather than sitting on your roof and causing damage over time.

Not every flat roof needs a full replacement. Sometimes, a bit of professional TLC is all it takes to extend the life of your existing structure. From patching up a leaky extension to replacing worn-out 'kerbs and drips' at the roof's edge, I offer a full range of repair services across Plymouth, Torpoint, and the South Hams. I'll take a proper look at your roof to find the actual source of the water ingress—not just cover up the symptom. If your torch-on felt has started to bubble or the lead flashing around your chimney is failing, I can provide an honest assessment and a fair price for a fix. I'm fully covered by Public Liability Insurance, so you can have complete peace of mind while I'm working on your property. Why risk a DIY patch job when you can have a local specialist ensure your home stays dry for years to come?

What makes Devon and Cornwall Roofing different? It’s simple: you deal with me, and only me. I don’t employ pushy salespeople, and I don’t pass my work off to sub-contractors who might not care about the details. When I turn up to give you a quote in Plympton or Yelverton, I’m the same person who will be up on the ladder installing your new waterproof membrane. This direct approach means I can keep my overheads lower than the big national firms while maintaining a much higher standard of quality control. I understand the challenges of our coastal climate—the high winds and salt spray that can batter a roof in places like Wembury or the Rame Peninsula. I use only premium materials and proven techniques to ensure your flat roof isn't just a temporary fix, but a long-term investment in your home’s structural integrity.

Many people ask, 'How long will a new flat roof actually last?' When installed correctly with modern materials like GRP or EPDM, you can easily expect 25 to 30 years or more of trouble-free service. Another common concern is the cost. While a new flat roof installation is an investment, it’s far cheaper than repairing structural timber damage caused by a long-term leak. People also ask if they can convert an old felt roof to a more modern system; the answer is almost always yes, provided the underlying structure is sound. If you're worried about the condition of your roof, I also offer drone roof surveys. This is a safe and cost-effective way to get high-resolution images of hard-to-reach areas, giving us a clear picture of exactly what needs doing without the need for expensive scaffolding right away.
