Expert Flat Roofing Specialists in Ashburton, Devon

Many properties across Teignbridge still rely on old-fashioned torch-on felt, which eventually cracks under the sun or peels away at the edges. I prefer using high-performance systems like GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and EPDM rubber. GRP is fantastic because it’s completely seamless—meaning there’s nowhere for water to get in. It’s tough enough to walk on, making it a great choice for balconies or areas that need occasional access. On the other hand, EPDM is a flexible synthetic rubber membrane that’s incredibly resilient against the changing South Devon weather. It doesn’t crack or rot, and it can last for decades. Not sure which one is right for your home? I’ll talk you through the benefits of each based on your specific property and budget.

Have you noticed puddles of water sitting on your roof days after it has stopped raining? This is called 'ponding,' and it’s usually a sign that the roof doesn't have the correct 'fall' or slope to allow water to drain away. When I install a new roof, I use timber firrings—tapered strips of wood—to create that essential slope, ensuring rain runs straight into your gutters. I also pay close attention to the kerbs and drips, the edge details that keep water from running down your walls. My goal isn't just to patch a leak; it's to ensure your roof structure is sound and your home stays dry for the long haul. From small repairs to full replacements, I've seen and fixed it all across Teignbridge.

If your extension feels like an icebox in the winter and a greenhouse in the summer, your flat roof might be to blame. Many older roofs are 'cold deck' designs with little to no insulation. I can upgrade your property to a 'warm deck' system, where high-quality insulation is placed above the roof joists and underneath the waterproof membrane. This simple change can make a massive difference to your heating bills and make the room below much more comfortable year-round. It's a smart investment that adds value to your home while keeping you cosy. It's particularly popular for conservatory roof replacements and modern kitchen extensions where temperature control is key.
