Expert Flat Roofing Specialists in North Tawton, Devon

Most of the homeowners I speak with are tired of the constant cycle of patching up old bitumen felt roofs that crack in the frost and blister in the sun. That is why I specialise in high-performance GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and EPDM rubber roofing. GRP is a fantastic choice if you want a seamless, incredibly tough finish—it’s basically a single 'skin' for your roof that’s tough enough to walk on. On the other hand, EPDM rubber is brilliantly flexible; it expands and contracts with the Devon seasons, meaning it won't crack over time. When I install these systems, I pay close attention to the 'falls'—using tapered timber firrings to ensure that rainwater flows straight into your gutters rather than sitting in puddles. Have you noticed water 'ponding' on your roof after a heavy downpour? That standing water is often the first sign that your roof structure is sagging or was never laid with the correct fall, and it’s something we can fix properly during a replacement.

Not every flat roof needs a full replacement. Sometimes, a leaking extension or a bit of failed leadwork just needs an expert eye and a targeted repair. If you've spotted a drip or noticed that the felt around your chimney stack is starting to lift, it's always better to act fast before the timber rafters underneath start to rot. I provide honest assessments for flat roof repairs throughout North Tawton, Okehampton, and the neighbouring areas. I’ll never tell you that you need a new roof if a simple, high-quality repair will do the job. From re-bedding edge kerbs to fixing leaks around roof lights, I focus on finding the source of the water ingress rather than just slapping a temporary patch over it. I also look at the 'drip' edges and guttering to make sure the whole system is working together to keep your home dry. If you're worried about a leak, just give me a call at 01392 542323 and I'll come out to take a look.

Is your extension or conservatory freezing in the winter and like an oven in the summer? This is a common complaint in West Devon, and it’s usually because the old roof has zero insulation. When I carry out a re-roofing project, I often recommend a 'warm roof' construction. This involves placing high-quality insulation boards above the roof joists but beneath the waterproof membrane. It keeps the heat inside your home where it belongs and prevents condensation from forming in the roof void. It’s an investment that pays for itself in energy savings and makes that extra room a comfortable place to be all year round. Whether we’re using GRP or EPDM, a warm roof upgrade is the most effective way to modernise an older property while meeting current building regulations. I’ve transformed many cold, draughty utility rooms and garages in North Tawton into dry, thermally efficient spaces.
