Expert Flat Roofing in Callington, Cornwall

Have you noticed water sitting in deep pools on your roof after a downpour? In the trade, we call that 'ponding,' and it is usually the first sign that your roof is starting to struggle. The good news is that flat roofing technology has come a long way from the messy bitumen and gravel of the past. We specialise in high-performance materials like GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber. These aren't just patches; they are complete, seamless skins for your home. Whether you are building a new extension in Saltash or need to rescue a porch in the centre of Callington, we will help you pick a system that fits your budget and will still be doing its job twenty years from now.

Why is GRP such a hit in Cornwall? It is essentially the same stuff they use to build boat hulls, so it is more than a match for a bit of rain. When we install a GRP fibreglass roof, we apply it as a cold liquid that cures into a single, solid sheet. Because there are no joins or seams, there is nowhere for the water to get in. It is incredibly tough—you can walk on it without causing damage, which makes it the perfect choice if you have a balcony or a roof that needs regular access. Plus, with its sleek dark grey finish, it looks fantastic on modern Callington properties.

If you are looking for something with a bit more give, EPDM rubber roofing might be the answer. We use high-quality membranes, like Firestone, which are designed to expand and contract as the temperature changes. Think about those freezing winter nights and the scorching summer days we occasionally get; EPDM won't crack or go brittle under that stress. It is a brilliant, cost-effective option for larger flat roofs, like shops in Liskeard or big garage blocks. Most people we talk to love it because it is virtually maintenance-free. Once it is down, you can pretty much forget about it and get on with your day.

Is there anything more stressful than hearing that 'drip, drip, drip' in the middle of a storm? We know that when a roof fails, you don't want to wait weeks for a quote. We offer a rapid-response service for roof repairs in Callington and the surrounding villages. From replacing a few square metres of storm-damaged felt to fixing a faulty lead flashing around a chimney, we get the job done quickly to prevent further damage to your ceilings and electrics. We will always give you an honest assessment—if a simple repair will solve the problem, that is what we will recommend. We aren't here to upsell you a whole new roof if you don't need one.
