At Gwella Contracting, we deliver reliable, high-quality roofing solutions for homes, businesses, and public sector clients across Cornwall & Devon. As proud members of the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), our customers can trust that every project is carried out to nationally recognised standards of quality and professionalism.
Great roofing isn’t just about the quality of our workmanship — it’s also about safety. That’s why our approach is guided by our company-wide Safety Always commitment, which ensures that every member of our team, every project, and every customer is protected through strict safety practices and a culture of care.

Every installation follows NFRC guidelines and our Safety Always principles, giving you total peace of mind.

From storm damage to wear and tear, our repair services restore your roof’s integrity quickly and effectively. Safety is at the forefront of everything we do — protecting our team, your property, and those around it while we carry out the work.
Flat Roofing
Flat roofs need specialist care. Our experts install and maintain flat roofing systems designed to withstand Cornwall’s changing weather. With NFRC membership and a Safety Always approach, you can be sure of a watertight finish delivered responsibly.

Fascias & Soffits
Fascias and soffits are essential for protecting your property’s roofline and improving its appearance. We supply and install high-quality systems that enhance both function and style — all fitted with safety and care as standard.
Commercial Roofing
Our commercial roofing services cover everything from major installations to maintenance contracts. We work with landlords, local authorities, and businesses across Cornwall, always prioritising the wellbeing of our workforce and the safety of those around our projects.
Why Safety Always Matters
Roofing is a trade where safety cannot be compromised. Working at height, handling heavy materials, and operating in challenging conditions all bring risks. At Gwella Contracting, we embed safety into every stage of our work — from planning and preparation to on-site operations and final checks.
Our Safety Always culture isn’t a box-ticking exercise. It’s a company-wide commitment to:
Protect our people through training, equipment, and safe systems of work.
Keep our customers and the public safe on and around our projects.
Promote health and wellbeing as part of every job we do.

An excellent outcome
“I’ve felt the need to write this email to convey how pleased I am with your installation of the W08 spray booth access walkway. I have just spoken to the Building Manager and he is also over the moon.
Considering yourselves and STQ had a late start yesterday morning due to logistical reasons, the engineers have pushed on and just completed the install in record time.
Please give my thanks to the relevant engineers and thanks to all involved in getting this over the line to an excellent outcome.”

“Just a quick note to say how smoothly and safely the investigations went today at 66 St Nicholas. Colin was organised, safety first and as always just a very pleasant person to work with. The operative, Trevor, from Gwella, was safe, tidy and got what we were trying to do immediately; hats off to him also. So just a big thank you from me to you and the team.”
It would be great to work together in future
