Roof issues in Barnstaple.

North Devon slate-hung elevations

Many Barnstaple and North Devon properties have slate-hung upper storeys that act as weather shields. These vertical slates need periodic re-fixing and replacement as nails corrode.

Cob wall and thatch interfaces

Traditional North Devon cob buildings have thatched or slate roofs where the junction between cob wall and roof covering is critical to prevent moisture entering the earth walls.

Estuary exposure and salt air

Properties along the Taw and Torridge estuaries face both salt corrosion and high humidity, accelerating deterioration of metal flashings and fixings.

Period commercial premises

Barnstaple's historic high street has period commercial buildings with complex roof structures, parapet walls, and hidden flat roof sections behind ornamental facades.
