Expert Flat Roofing Specialists in Moretonhampstead, Devon

Have you ever wondered why traditional felt roofs seem to crack and leak after just a few years? It’s often because they struggle with the temperature swings and damp conditions we experience here in South Devon. That’s where GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) fibreglass comes in. I often recommend this system for homeowners in Moretonhampstead who want a roof they can effectively forget about for decades. GRP is applied as a cold liquid, which then cures into a single, seamless waterproof membrane. Because there are no joins or seams, there’s nowhere for water to get in. It’s incredibly tough, too—you can walk on it without causing damage, making it a brilliant choice for balconies or walkways. Whether I’m working on a new-build extension in Newton Abbot or a garage in Moretonhampstead, I ensure the finish is aesthetic, durable, and completely weatherproof.

Most homeowners I speak with are looking for a balance between cost-effectiveness and longevity. If that sounds like you, EPDM rubber roofing is an excellent contender. Imagine a high-performance synthetic rubber membrane that remains flexible regardless of the weather. It won't crack under the summer sun or become brittle during a freezing Dartmoor winter. I use premium EPDM materials that are designed to withstand the elements for up to 50 years. It’s particularly well-suited for larger flat roof areas, such as commercial units or big residential extensions, because it can often be installed in one single sheet. This removes the risk of joint failure entirely. If you're tired of patching up an old bitumen roof, upgrading to an EPDM system provides the ultimate peace of mind. I cover a 30-mile radius from my base, serving customers across Teignmouth, Dawlish, and the surrounding South Hams.

Have you noticed water sitting in puddles on your roof long after the rain has stopped? In the trade, we call this 'ponding,' and it’s usually a sign that your roof doesn't have the correct 'fall' or slope. Over time, that standing water can stress the structure and eventually find a way into your home. When I take on a flat roof replacement or repair in Teignbridge, I don't just slap a new layer on top. I look at the underlying cause. Often, this involves installing 'firrings'—tapered strips of timber—to create a subtle slope that directs water straight into your gutters. I also pay close attention to 'kerbs and drips,' the edge details that ensure water doesn't run down your walls and cause damp. By getting the fundamentals right, I ensure your new roof stays dry and your property remains protected.
