Expert New Roofs And Re Roofing in Lostwithiel, Cornwall

Most homeowners I speak with in Lostwithiel only start thinking about their roof when they see a damp patch on the ceiling. But often, the signs have been there for a while. Have you noticed daylight peeking through into your loft? Or maybe you've found 'spalling'—where the faces of your tiles are flaking off and piling up in the gutters? These are clear indicators that the materials have reached the end of their natural life. If your roof is over 40 or 50 years old, it likely lacks a modern breathable membrane, leaving your roof trusses vulnerable to rot. While a small roof repair can sometimes bridge the gap, there comes a point where a full roof replacement is the only cost-effective way to protect your property and improve its energy efficiency. If you're constantly calling out roofers for minor leaks, it might be time to consider a more permanent solution.

Lostwithiel is famous for its history, and I take great pride in maintaining that aesthetic through expert heritage roofing. If your property requires traditional slate roofing, I ensure the sourcing and installation respect the character of the building while meeting modern standards. I also work extensively with concrete and clay tile roofs, which are fantastic for durability and come in a range of colours to suit any neighbourhood. Every project I undertake involves a complete 'strip and re-tile' or 'strip and re-slate' process. We don't just put new materials over old ones. I strip the roof back to the rafters, inspect the timber structure, install high-performance breathable membranes, and fix treated timber battens. This ensures your new roof isn't just a cosmetic upgrade, but a structural one that complies with all current building regulations.

It’s not just about pitched roofs. Many homes in Cornwall struggle with older felt roofs on garages or extensions that eventually crack and leak. I provide modern, seamless flat roofing solutions using GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber. These materials are incredibly hard-wearing and designed to withstand the salt-spray and high winds we get in the South West. Additionally, if you have a conservatory that's 'too hot in summer and too cold in winter,' I can help. By installing a conservatory warm roof, we can transform that space into a comfortable, year-round room. Whether it’s a full re-roofing project or a specialist flat roof installation, I bring the same level of care and attention to detail, including custom leadwork and high-quality fascia and soffit replacement.
