Roof issues in Callington.

Moorland weather exposure

Callington sits between Dartmoor's eastern edge and Bodmin Moor's western edge. Properties face significantly more rainfall and stronger winds than those in lowland areas, so they require robust roofing details.

World Heritage Site requirements

Parts of the Callington area fall within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, requiring sensitive treatment of historic rooflines and materials.

Converted barn roofing

Many agricultural buildings around Callington have been converted to residential use, with new roof structures inserted into historic stone shells that need careful waterproofing.

Ridge and verge deterioration

Because Callington’s location in East Cornwall is exposed, deteriorated mortar at exposed ridges and verges can eventually let wind-driven rain into the roof structure, so verge mortar maintenance and ridge-tile repairs should be a priority.
