Why Choose Us?

Signs your flat roof has reached the end of its life

It is easy to ignore a flat roof until water starts dripping through the ceiling. However, catching the warning signs early can save you from costly structural repairs to your timber joists and internal plasterboards. If you have found damp patches on your ceiling, noticed sagging in the roof deck, or spotted deep cracks and blisters in your old mineral felt, it is likely time for a full flat roof replacement. While minor roof repairs can patch up temporary issues, an aging roof eventually reaches a point where patch jobs are no longer cost-effective. Upgrading to a modern system ensures your home stays dry and warm for decades to come.

Who We Are

Modern flat roofing materials designed to last for decades

The days of leaky, short-lived bitumen felt flat roofs are long gone. Today, we install advanced, high-performance systems that form a seamless, watertight barrier over your home. We work with premium GRP fibreglass and durable EPDM rubber membranes, both of which offer exceptional weatherproofing and require virtually zero maintenance. These modern materials expand and contract with the changing UK seasons, meaning they will not crack in the winter frost or melt in the summer heat. We ensure every flat roof replacement we undertake is built to withstand the damp coastal winds of Devon & Cornwall, giving you complete peace of mind.

Managing the complex details from correct drainage to firewalls

A successful flat roof replacement is about much more than just laying down a waterproof sheet. Proper preparation and technical details are vital to ensure the longevity of the installation. Our skilled team assesses the structural timber rafters and installs high-quality OSB3 decking. If your old roof suffered from standing water, we create a gentle slope using timber firrings to guide rainfall directly into your guttering. We also pay close attention to critical details like lead flashing, edge trims, and where your roof meets a neighbouring property or a shared firewall. This meticulous approach guarantees a clean, highly professional finish every single time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Flat Roof Replacement Questions

Answers to common questions about our Flat Roof Replacement

Is It Time to Replace Your Flat Roof?

It can be difficult to know whether you need a simple repair or a full replacement. If you have found yourself dealing with any of the following issues, it’s a strong sign that your old roof has reached the end of its life:

  • Persistent Leaks: Regular water ingress, especially after heavy rain, that repairs no longer seem to fix.
  • Pooling Water: Large puddles of water that remain on the roof 48 hours after it rains, indicating poor drainage.
  • Visible Cracks and Bubbles: Blisters, cracks, or splits in the roof covering are a clear sign the material is failing.
  • Aged Felt: If your roof is covered in traditional felt and is over 10-15 years old, it is likely becoming brittle and ineffective.
  • Damp Patches Inside: Stains on the ceiling or walls of the room below are a classic symptom of a failing flat roof.
    Ignoring these signs can lead to much more expensive problems. We provide a free, honest inspection to assess the condition of your roof and will only recommend a replacement if it is genuinely the most cost-effective solution for you in the long run.

How much will a new flat roof cost?

The cost of a replacement depends on the size of the roof, the material you choose (GRP or EPDM), and the condition of the existing roof deck. We don't believe in estimates; we provide a fixed, written quote after our free inspection, so you know the exact price before any work begins. Our pricing is honest and transparent, with no hidden fees.

How long will my new flat roof last?

This is one of the main benefits of upgrading. A professionally installed EPDM rubber roof has a life expectancy of 50 years or more. A GRP fibreglass roof is also exceptionally durable, typically lasting for at least 25-30 years. Both options provide a much longer, more reliable service life than old torch-on felt.

Can you install skylights or Velux windows in my new flat roof?

Absolutely. Adding roof windows is a great way to bring natural light into your home. Our team is highly experienced in fitting Velux windows and skylights as part of a flat roof replacement. We ensure they are installed with precision, creating a perfect, watertight seal that integrates seamlessly with your new GRP or EPDM roof.

What areas do you work in?

We are a local Plymouth roofing company serving a 40-mile radius across Devon and Cornwall. Our primary areas include Plymouth, Plympton, Saltash, Tavistock, Ivybridge, the South Hams, Liskeard, Looe, and Callington. If you're unsure if we cover your location, just give us a call.
