Expert Flat Roofing Specialists in Newton Abbot, Devon

Most homeowners I speak to are fed up with the constant cycle of patching up old bitumen felt. While traditional torch-on felt still has its place, modern materials offer much better longevity. I primarily work with GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and EPDM rubber. GRP is fantastic for balconies or roofs with heavy foot traffic because it’s incredibly tough and completely seamless—no joints means no leaks. EPDM, on the other hand, is a flexible synthetic rubber membrane that expands and contracts with the Teignbridge weather, making it perfect for larger flat roof areas. If your roof has poor drainage, I can install custom 'firrings'—tapered timber strips—to create a proper fall, ensuring water runs straight into your gutters instead of sitting in damaging pools.

The biggest worry people have when hiring a roofer is being passed from a slick salesperson to a sub-contractor who just wants to get the job done and leave. As a sole trader, that doesn't happen here. When you call 01392 542323 for a quote, you’re talking to me—the same person who will be up on your roof doing the work. This direct accountability means I take immense pride in every joint, every kerb, and every drip edge I install. Serving a 30-mile radius around Newton Abbot, I understand how our South Devon coastal air can bash a building, and I only use materials that are proven to stand up to salt spray and high winds.

Is your conservatory or home office freezing in the winter and like a greenhouse in the summer? You might want to consider a 'warm deck' roof conversion. By placing high-quality insulation above the roof joists rather than between them, we can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency and eliminate condensation issues. It’s a game-changer for people in Newton Abbot looking to turn a draughty extension into a usable year-round room. I also handle a lot of garage roof replacements across Teignbridge, including the safe removal of old asbestos cement sheets and replacing them with lightweight, durable modern alternatives that look great and keep your car or workshop bone-dry.

You don’t always need a completely new roof. Sometimes, a leaking chimney stack or a failed lead flashing is the real culprit. I offer honest advice on whether a repair is viable or if a replacement is the most cost-effective long-term move. For hard-to-reach areas or for people buying a new home in the area, I also provide high-resolution drone roof surveys. This allows us to spot slipped slates or blocked valley gutters without the immediate cost of scaffolding. It’s all about providing you with the full picture so you can make an informed decision about your property.
