Expert New Roof Installations in Tavistock, Devon

Why is everyone in West Devon talking about their EPC ratings lately? It's usually because they've realised that an old, drafty roof is basically like wearing a woolly jumper with a giant hole in the top. When we handle your re-roofing project, we aren't just making the place look better—though the boost in kerb appeal is a nice bonus. We're actually upgrading your home's thermal efficiency. By installing modern breathable membranes (like Tyvek) and ensuring your insulation is up to scratch, we help keep your heating bills down and your living room cosy. Imagine sitting through the next Atlantic storm knowing your roof is watertight, secure, and properly ventilated. It's a great feeling, isn't it?

Does your property need that classic West Devon look? Many homes in Tavistock sit within conservation areas where the aesthetic is just as important as the durability. We're experts in traditional slate roofing, using high-quality natural slate that looks right at home amongst the town's historic architecture. If your home is more suited to clay or concrete tile roofs, we've got a massive range of colours and styles to choose from. We pay close attention to the details that often get overlooked, like expert leadwork around chimneys and valley gutters. Plus, we use modern dry ridge and dry verge systems wherever possible. These are mortar-free, meaning you won't have to worry about bits of cement cracking and falling off in ten years' time.

Are you tired of that old felt roof on your garage or extension leaking every time it drizzles? We've all seen those ugly bubbles and cracks in traditional bitumen roofs. That's why we specialise in modern, high-performance systems like GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber. These materials are game-changers for flat roofing in Devon. EPDM is a durable synthetic rubber that's applied in large, seamless sheets, meaning there's nowhere for water to get in. If you want something incredibly tough that you can even walk on, GRP fibreglass is the way to go. Both options are virtually maintenance-free and come with long-term guarantees. No more worrying about the garage roof failing just when you've stored your winter gear away.

What actually goes on under those tiles? A lot of the most important work on a new roof installation is the stuff you'll never see from the street. We take great pride in the 'bones' of the roof. This means using treated timber for our batten and counter-batten work to prevent rot, and ensuring the breathable membrane is perfectly tensioned to allow moisture to escape without letting the rain in. Our team handles everything from the initial site survey right through to liaising with building control for that final sign-off. We're a family-run business, not a faceless national firm, so we care about the quality of every single nail we drive. We treat your home with the same respect we'd show our own, keeping the site tidy and the disruption to a minimum.
