Expert Flat Roofing Specialists in Chudleigh, Devon

Most homeowners I speak to in Chudleigh are dealing with the same headache: an old torch-on felt roof that’s cracking, blistering, or holding puddles of water. These issues often stem from poor drainage or the roof not having the correct 'fall.' When I take on a project, I don't just slap a new layer on top. I look at the structural integrity, using timber 'firrings' to create a slight slope that ensures water runs straight into your gutters. From Newton Abbot to the heights of Haldon Hill, I ensure your property stays bone-dry, regardless of how much salt-spray or wind the South Devon climate throws at it.

Choosing the right material for your flat roof can feel a bit overwhelming, but it really comes down to your specific needs. GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a fantastic, seamless fibreglass system that’s incredibly tough—perfect if you need to walk on the roof or use it as a balcony. It’s cold-applied, meaning no naked flames on your home, and it looks incredibly smart in a battleship grey finish. On the other hand, EPDM rubber is a high-performance synthetic membrane that’s famous for its flexibility. It doesn't crack or rot and handles temperature changes brilliantly. Whether we decide on GRP or EPDM, you’re getting a waterproof membrane that’s a world away from the leaky felt of the past.

There is a massive advantage to hiring a local sole trader rather than a big roofing corporation. When you call Devon and Cornwall Roofing, you aren't talking to a call centre or a smooth-talking salesperson—you're talking to me. I’m the person who will visit your home in Chudleigh, provide your quote, and ultimately climb the ladder to do the work. This direct contact means total accountability and a personal touch. I treat every home as if it were my own, ensuring the kerbs and drips are perfectly aligned and the finish is flawless. Plus, with full Public Liability Insurance, you have complete peace of mind that your investment is protected.

Have you noticed your extension is freezing in the winter and like a sauna in the summer? This is often because of a 'cold deck' roof design with poor insulation. I specialise in 'warm deck' installations, where high-quality insulation is placed above the roof joists but under the waterproof membrane. This simple change can massively improve your home’s energy efficiency and keep your heating bills down. It’s a popular choice for conservatory roof replacements and kitchen extensions across Kingsteignton and Dawlish, turning a seasonal room into a space you can actually use all year round.
