Three steps. No surprises.
Most roofers vanish between the quote and the invoice. We don't. Here's exactly how a job goes from your call to a finished roof.
Free consultation & inspection
We come out, climb up, and look at your roof properly — no obligation, no hard sell. You get a plain-English assessment of what we found and what (if anything) needs doing.
Itemised quotation
A written quote with materials, labour, scaffolding and timeline broken out line by line. We name our materials and our suppliers — no mystery line items.
The job, properly done
Same lead tradesman from quote to handover. Site cleaned daily, neighbours considered, and a 25-year guarantee handed over once you're happy.
Roof issues in Exeter.
Period slate roof deterioration
Exeter's Georgian and Victorian properties around Southernhay and Pennsylvania use Delabole or Welsh slate that develops nail sickness after a century, causing slates to slip and expose the roof to Devon's persistent rain.
Sandstone chimney decay
Many older Exeter properties are built with local red sandstone. Chimney stacks in this stone weather faster than brick, requiring regular repointing and occasionally partial rebuilds.
Valley gutter failures
The complex rooflines on Exeter's Victorian villas in St Leonard's and Mount Pleasant create valleys where lead or zinc linings corrode, causing leaks that track into party walls.
Modern estate tile lifting
Newer developments in Pinhoe, Topsham, and Cranbrook use interlocking concrete tiles that lift in high winds if clips or dry-fix systems are under-specified.
Trade is full of uncertainty. We remove it.
"Plymouth and Devon properties demand specialist knowledge — from coastal weathering to heritage stonework. We've built our team around getting it right first time, every time."
Written warranty on every job
All work comes with a written warranty covering materials and workmanship.
