Expert Flat Roofing Specialists in Liskeard, Cornwall

Most homeowners I talk to in Liskeard are looking for something more durable than the old-fashioned 'torch-on' felt. While felt still has its place, modern materials like GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and EPDM rubber are game-changers. GRP fibreglass is fantastic because it's completely seamless; there are no joints for water to find its way through, and it's tough enough to walk on if you need to clean windows. On the other hand, EPDM rubber is incredibly flexible. It doesn't crack or perish under the sun, and it handles the temperature swings we get here in the South West without any fuss. Whether it's a small porch, a double garage, or a large kitchen extension, I'll help you pick the material that best fits your budget and your property's needs.

Have you noticed damp patches on your ceiling or seen water 'ponding' on top of your roof? This usually happens when the original 'firrings'—those tapered strips of wood that create a slope—have sagged or weren't fitted correctly. I don't just slap a patch over a leak and hope for the best. I take a proper look at the structure to find the root cause of the water ingress. Often, it's a failed lead flashing or a cracked kerb edge that's the culprit. My approach is to provide a long-term fix, whether that's a targeted repair or a full replacement of the waterproof membrane. With full Public Liability Insurance, you can rest easy knowing your home is protected while I'm working on it.

Is your flat-roofed extension or conservatory freezing in the winter and like a greenhouse in the summer? This is a common complaint with 'cold deck' roofs where there's little to no insulation. I can help transform these spaces by installing a 'warm roof'. By adding high-quality insulation above the roof joists and beneath the new waterproof layer, we keep the heat inside your home where it belongs. It's a brilliant way to cut down on energy bills and make that extra room usable all year round. From Liskeard town centre out to Menheniot and St Ive, I’ve helped plenty of locals turn their draughty extensions into comfortable living spaces.

Living and working in Cornwall means I understand the unique challenges our buildings face. We get more than our fair share of high winds and salt spray, which can play havoc with inferior roofing materials. I serve the entire Liskeard area, including Dobwalls, Pensilva, and down towards Looe. Because I'm local, I'm not going to vanish once the job is done. I take immense pride in my workmanship and rely on my reputation for being punctual, tidy, and honest. You won't find any hidden costs or jargon here—just straightforward advice and a roof that’s built to last.
