Flat-roof extensions, garage roofs and outbuildings are common across Pinhoe’s 1960s and 1970s housing stock. When the original felt covering fails, GRP fibreglass is the right upgrade — its seamless surface lasts 25+ years and eliminates the laps and joints where felt failure begins. We install GRP and EPDM flat roofing across Pinhoe with a 10-year workmanship guarantee. Call 01392 759 295.
Pinhoe’s 1960s and 70s estate housing produced a wave of rear extension flat roofs in the same era. These extensions were built to the standards of their time — which means a felt covering on a timber deck that is now 40–50 years old. When we survey these roofs in Pinhoe, the deck condition is the key variable: if the deck boards are sound, GRP can be installed on top with minimal preparation. If previous felt failure has softened the deck, we replace the decking before the new membrane goes on.
Pinhoe’s slightly elevated position means flat roof drainage must be specified correctly for the wind and rainfall exposure level. Standing water on a flat roof in Pinhoe’s slightly more exposed position exerts more stress on the membrane at the waterline than equivalent ponding on a sheltered suburban site. We calculate falls and outlet sizing for each Pinhoe flat roof individually and design out the ponding risk at installation rather than leaving it as a maintenance problem.
A standard GRP flat roof installation in Pinhoe is completed in one to two days. Existing covering is stripped, the deck inspected and repaired where required, GRP laminate applied with correct overlaps, and topcoat finished the following morning. The roof is walkable within 24 hours and fully cured in 48. We carry out a final inspection with the homeowner before leaving and issue the 10-year workmanship guarantee on the day the job completes.

“Deck needed partial replacement before the GRP went on. They included this in the original quote rather than adding it as an extra. Good honest approach.”
“EPDM on our outbuilding roof. Clean installation, no mess, drainage designed correctly this time.”
GRP flat roofing from £900–£3,500 depending on size. Free survey and quote. Call 01392 759 295.
25–30 years with correct installation. GRP is significantly more durable in Devon’s wet climate than felt systems.
If the flat roof has been re-covered once already, GRP is the better investment. Another felt cover provides 8–10 years vs 25 for GRP.
A standard rear extension or garage flat roof is typically completed in a single day.
