Guttering is vital in directing rainwater away from your roof, and therefore saving you from such problems as leaks and penetrating damp. We install a range of guttering and rainwater goods for our clients locally in Plymouth, and throughout Devon and Cornwall. We are able to provide fascia and rainwater goods in plastic, plastisol covered steel and powder coated aluminium. Galvanised steel concealed gutters are also available. These can be covered in curved or sloping architectural profiled fascias.

Velux™ are a leading name in roof windows for a very good reason - their products are high performing and incredibly versatile. Take a look at the windows we can install for you, here at Clegg & Shortman Asphalt Co. Centre-pivot windows are easy to operate - even if you have furniture underneath them! The beauty of this window option is the fact that it can be rotated 180 degrees, which means you can clean both sides of the window from the inside of your home. The window can be opened outwards for clear views and it comes with a tasteful handle at the foot of the frame.

Felt/flat roofs don't last forever. As such, once they've reached the end of their lifespan, they become subject to leakage. It's best to avoid this occurrence and get your flat roof replaced before the real problems start. On the other hand, the cause of the problem could simply be a rip or a tear, which can be easily repaired without replacing the whole roof. Slate is such a strong material that it often outlives the fixings and supporting timbers that keep it in place. Nevertheless, if the slates have slipped, split or been dislodged entirely, we'll get to the root of the issue to get your roof back into shape.

Cladding provides your building with thermal and weather resistance, and at Clegg & Shortman Asphalt Co. we offer a variety of systems - from built-up to composite sheets. Plymouth-based, we serve Devon and Cornwall. Built up roof systems comprise a steel liner sheet, spacer bar system to form a void for the insulation and an outer sheet made from steel or aluminium. The outer sheets are generally profiled and in 0.7 mm thick steel. Fixings are surface fixed and visible although secret fix options are available, both in a number of finishes and colours.

Polyester felt is a strong, durable and cost-effective method of waterproofing flat and shallow pitched roofs. Each layer is bonded to the previous layer to create a tough, watertight, long-lasting surface. Clegg & Shortman Asphalt Co. have been installing and repairing flat roofs since 1975 and are approved installers for flat roof system suppliers such as Bauder and IKO. We're also members of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors and have been vetted and given the seal of approval by Competent Roofer for the quality of our flat roofing work.

Mastic Asphalt is an ideal building material for a whole range of construction applications, both new build and refurbishment projects, where a smooth, seamless, durable surface is required. It offers total waterproofing for roofing and tanking and acts as a tough working surface in flooring and paving. Widely used on roofs, balconies and car parks. Roofing grade asphalt can last for up to 30 years and is perfectly weighted, neither being too heavy nor too light. It's leak-resistant, maintenance free and extremely reliable, as well as being environmentally friendly.

There are plenty of options available when it comes to roofing tiles and slate - each type has its own unique properties and benefits. Take a look at the materials in which Clegg & Shortman Asphalt Co. specialises. Concrete tiles are a popular choice for roof coverings due to their versatility, performance and cost effectiveness. We offer new installations, as well as re-roofing, using the existing concrete tiles if required. A manmade tile, which is made to look like natural slate. Cambrian tiles capture all the beauty and character of natural slate, with proven levels of performance when it comes to wind and rain resistance.
