Expert Flat Roofing in Lostwithiel, Cornwall

If you're tired of worrying every time the wind picks up, GRP fibreglass might be exactly what you need. It's essentially a cold-applied, seamless skin that's laid over a new deck. Because there are no joins or seams, there's nowhere for the water to get in. Think of it like a boat hull turned upside down on top of your house. It's incredibly tough—you can even walk on it—making it a brilliant choice for balconies or walkways. Plus, it comes in a smart dark grey finish that looks fantastic against the traditional stone and slate you see around Lostwithiel and the wider Cornwall area.

Most homeowners we talk to are looking for something that just works without any fuss. EPDM rubber is a bit of a hero in the roofing world for that very reason. We install it as one single, large sheet, which means we can often cover your entire extension or porch without a single seam. It's made of a highly durable synthetic rubber that doesn't crack or peel, even when the sun finally decides to come out and bake the roof in the summer. It’s flexible, handles the Cornish gales with ease, and is widely considered one of the most environmentally friendly options on the market today.

Don't confuse modern high-performance felt with the thin, papery stuff from decades ago. The systems we use today are 'torch-on', consisting of three thick layers of bitumen-reinforced felt that are heat-welded together. It creates a incredibly strong, multi-layered barrier that's perfect for domestic garages or commercial units in Lostwithiel. It's a cost-effective way to get a solid, dependable roof that will last for years. We often recommend this for properties where budget is a factor but quality can't be compromised.

Have you noticed water sitting in big pools on your roof long after the rain has stopped? This is what we call 'ponding', and it's usually a sign that your roof's structure is sagging or the drainage is blocked. Left alone, that weight can cause real damage. Our team is out across Cornwall every day tackling everything from emergency storm damage to simple patch repairs. We’ll never tell you that you need a whole new roof if a clever repair will do the job. We'll give you an honest assessment and a clear, fixed price to get things watertight again before a small leak becomes a massive headache.
