Roof issues in Ivybridge.
Leaking roofs and water ingress
Ivybridge’s location in one of the wettest areas of the UK and its elevated position on the edge of Dartmoor mean homes here suffer from roof water ingress, resulting in water staining, mould, and damaged coverings.
Slipped, cracked and missing tiles or slates
This is a particularly relevant problem for Ivybridge due to the older age of many properties with slate roofs, which can suffer from "nail sickness", where deteriorating nail heads and weathering eventually cause slates to become loose and slip.
Chimney and lead-flashing failures
Leaking chimneys and defective lead flashings are common causes of damp in older properties, especially those found in Ivybridge and across the South Hams, where wind-driven rain can cause internal damp.
Ridge and verge deterioration
Due to Ivybridge’s exposed location in the South Hams, deteriorated mortar at exposed ridges and verges can eventually allow wind-driven rain into the roof structure, meaning verge mortar maintenance and ridge-tile repairs need to be a priority.
