Flat roofs that stand up to the seafront
New flat roofs for Dawlish, Dawlish Warren and Holcombe, in EPDM rubber, single ply or GRP fibreglass, from Chris Ayre and his team in Chudleigh. Chris trained with Firestone on RubberCover EPDM and with Restec on Flexitec GRP, and each roof we fit is guaranteed for at least 5 years.
We replaced a flat roof for Stefan in Dawlish over the winter of 2023 to 2024. Six months later he wrote that there was no sign of any further leaks and the site had been left clean and tidy. That's what we aim for on every job.

EPDM flat roofing in Dawlish
For most garages, extensions and dormers in Dawlish we recommend EPDM rubber. It goes down in one sheet, so there are no seams across the roof, and it stays flexible through frost, heat and salt spray. The edges and upstands are where coastal wind gets in, so that's where we take the most care. See EPDM flat roofing.
Single ply roofing in Dawlish
Single ply membranes suit bigger roofs, balconies and commercial buildings. They're lightweight, quick to lay and can be welded neatly around rooflights and railings, which is useful on balconies with a sea view. See single ply roofing.
GRP fibreglass
For balconies and roofs that get walked on, GRP fibreglass is seamless and tough. Chris is a Restec trained installer for the Flexitec GRP system.

Flat roofing in Dawlish: common questions
Which flat roof is best near the sea?
EPDM rubber and single ply both cope well with salt, UV and temperature changes. On the coast, the edge trims, upstands and fixings matter as much as the membrane.
Can you replace a flat roof on a bungalow or porch?
Yes. Small roofs are welcome, and they get the same care as big ones.
Can you remove an asbestos garage roof?
Yes. We remove old asbestos cement sheets safely and fit a new roof, often EPDM. See asbestos roof removal.
How long will a new flat roof last?
A properly fitted EPDM or single ply roof can last 25 years or more.
How much does a flat roof cost in Dawlish?
It depends on the size, the system, the access and the deck. We give a free, no-obligation written quote.

“Undertook work as advised late 2023/early 2024 and right from the start Chris was proactive in keeping me up to speed with progress and requesting instruction when the inevitable snag was encountered. Site was left clean and tidy despite it being a fairly messy job! It's been 6 months now and no sign of any further leaks from the roof so I'm very happy with the outcome.”
