About Sharples Roofing
A family roofing business, two generations strong
Sharples Roofing is a family-run roofing company serving Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Dorset. The skills have been passed down, the standards have stayed the same — and flat roofing has become our speciality.
Our story
Built on craft, honesty and recommendations
Sharples Roofing began the way many of the best trade businesses do: with a roofer who believed in doing the job properly, treating customers fairly and letting the work speak for itself. Word spread, one recommendation led to the next, and a reputation was built across the local area.
Today the business is in its second generation. The tools and materials have moved on — modern EPDM, GRP and warm roof systems have transformed what a flat roof can do — but the principles haven’t. We still turn up when we say we will, explain things in plain English and don’t leave a job until we’d be happy with it on our own home.
Because our family name is on every roof, every job matters. That’s the simplest way we know to explain how we work.
Every roof we finish carries our family name — so every lap, upstand and edge is done properly.

Two generations
Why we specialise in flat roofs
Flat roofs have a reputation for trouble — usually because they’ve been treated as an afterthought, with the cheapest materials and the quickest methods. We’ve seen the results first-hand.
So we made flat roofing our speciality. We learned the systems in depth, invested in doing the details properly and focused on building roofs that last. It means we can recommend the right flat roof for your home with confidence — and we bring the same care to every pitched roof, repair and emergency too.
