Expert New Roofs And Re Roofing in North Tawton, Devon

How do you know when it’s time to stop patching up and start fresh? Sometimes the signs are obvious, like water dripping through the light fittings, but often the damage is more subtle. If you head up into your loft on a bright day and see pinpricks of daylight through the rafters, that’s a clear indicator that your underlay has failed. You might also notice 'spalling'—where the faces of your concrete tiles begin to flake off due to years of frost damage—or a persistent sag in the roofline. In West Devon, our properties take a beating from the Atlantic weather, and once the structural integrity of your battens or timber trusses is compromised, a full re-roof is often the most cost-effective long-term solution. I can provide a thorough inspection to let you know exactly what’s happening up there, giving you an honest assessment without the jargon.

Choosing the right material for your new roof is about more than just looks; it’s about durability and local character. In North Tawton and the surrounding rural villages, many traditional properties look their best with natural slate roofing, which offers an incredible lifespan and a classic aesthetic. If your home is a more modern build, I can install high-quality concrete or clay tiles in a range of finishes to suit the street scene. Every re-roof I undertake includes the installation of a modern breathable membrane. This high-performance underlay acts as a secondary line of defence against water ingress while allowing moisture to escape from your home, significantly improving your property’s 'U-value' and overall energy efficiency. I also specialise in dry-fix systems for ridges and verges, which do away with messy mortar and provide a much more secure, maintenance-free finish.

Do you have a leaking garage or a conservatory roof that’s seen better days? Flat roofing has come a long way from the old felt and bitumen days. I provide expert installation of GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber roofing—two of the most durable systems on the market today. GRP is fantastic because it’s a seamless, cold-applied liquid that cures into a tough, impact-resistant skin, making it perfect for balconies or roofs with lots of detail. EPDM, on the other hand, is a highly flexible rubber membrane that handles extreme temperature changes without cracking. If you’re looking to transform a cold, underused conservatory into a comfortable year-round room, I also offer conservatory warm roof conversions. By replacing the old glass or polycarbonate with a fully insulated solid roof, you can finally enjoy your space in the depths of winter and the heat of summer.
