Expert New Roof Installations in Ivybridge, Devon

It's a question we get asked all the time: "Can I get away with another patch-up?" Usually, we'll be honest with you. If it's just a couple of slipped slates after a storm, a repair is fine. But if your roof is over 40 years old and you're finding bits of grit in the gutters or seeing daylight through the rafters, a full re-roofing project is often the smarter investment. It stops the cycle of throwing good money after bad. Plus, modern roofing technology is miles ahead of what was available decades ago, meaning better insulation and much lower energy bills for you.

Whether you're living in one of the lovely Victorian terraces near the town centre or a more modern family home on the outskirts, you want a roof that fits the character of Ivybridge. We specialise in traditional slate roofing—perfect for that classic Devon look—and durable tile roofing in a range of styles and colours. We don't just swap tiles, though. We install high-performance breathable membranes and counter-battening to ensure your home stays bone-dry and well-ventilated, preventing that nasty damp and rot from ever taking hold.

If you've got a garage, an extension, or even a conservatory that's seen better days, you've probably dealt with a leaking flat roof before. The old felt-and-bitumen style just doesn't like the Devon rain very much. That's why we champion GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber. These materials are incredible—they're laid as a single, seamless sheet, which means there are no joins for water to creep into. They're tough enough to walk on and can easily last thirty years or more without you having to lift a finger.

In the old days, roofers used mortar to bed down ridge tiles. The problem is that over time, the South West weather makes that mortar crack and fall out, leaving your roof vulnerable when the next big storm hits. When we install a new roof in Ivybridge, we prefer using dry ridge and dry verge systems. These are mechanical fixings that won't crack or blow away, keeping your roof secure even in high winds. It’s all about peace of mind—knowing that when the wind starts howling off the moor, your roof isn't going anywhere.
