Expert Flat Roofing Specialists in Okehampton, Devon

Most homeowners I speak to in Okehampton are fed up with traditional felt roofs that crack and leak after just a few years. That is why I specialise in high-performance materials like GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) and EPDM rubber. GRP fibreglass is a fantastic choice because it's completely seamless. There are no joints for water to find its way through, and it's tough enough to walk on, making it perfect for balconies or frequently accessed areas. On the other hand, EPDM rubber is incredibly flexible and won't crack under the sun or during a sharp frost. If your roof is suffering from poor drainage, I can also install 'firrings'—these are tapered timber strips that create a slight slope, or 'fall', to ensure water runs straight into your gutters rather than sitting in pools. Whether you're in the town centre, Hatherleigh, or North Tawton, I can help you decide which system fits your property and your budget best.

Not every flat roof needs a full replacement. Sometimes, a well-timed repair can save you a fortune and add years to your roof's life. Have you spotted a bit of peeling leadwork or a crack in your roof's edge? Don't wait for the next big storm to find out how bad it is. I provide honest, straightforward advice on repairs for everything from leaking kitchen extensions to old asbestos garage roofs. I also offer drone roof surveys, which are a real game-changer for taller properties or awkward spots where scaffolding would be too expensive just for a look. I can fly a drone up, get high-resolution photos of the problem, and show you exactly what's going on without you even leaving the ground. It's safe, fast, and gives you total peace of mind before any work starts. If you're worried about a leak or just want a professional condition report before buying a new home in West Devon, I'm just a phone call away at 01392 542323.

One of the biggest complaints I hear about flat-roofed rooms is that they are freezing in the winter and like an oven in the summer. This is usually down to poor insulation. When I carry out a re-roofing project, I often recommend a 'warm roof' construction. This involves placing high-quality insulation above the roof joists, which keeps the entire structure of your house warm and significantly reduces your energy bills. It's a brilliant way to transform a cold conservatory or a draughty home office into a space you can actually use all year round. I handle everything from the vapour control layer to the final waterproof membrane, ensuring your home meets modern building regulations. Being fully covered by public liability insurance, I make sure every detail, from the kerbs to the drips, is finished to the highest standard, protecting your property for decades to come.

Why choose a local sole trader over a large company? It comes down to trust and local knowledge. I live and work in the area, covering a 30-mile radius around Okehampton, including Bridestowe, Sourton, and the surrounding moorland villages. I understand how the salt spray and high winds in the South West can batter a building. When you hire Devon and Cornwall Roofing, you are hiring a tradesman who takes personal pride in every single slate and seal. I'll turn up when I say I will, keep the site tidy, and I won't disappear halfway through the job to start another one. You'll get a clear, transparent quote with no hidden extras, and you'll know exactly who is on your roof. If you need a reliable roofer who knows the West Devon landscape inside out, give me a call today on 01392 542323 for a no-obligation chat about your project.
