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 Tavistock.
Dartmoor weather exposure
Tavistock sits at 150m elevation on the western edge of Dartmoor. Properties face significantly more rainfall and stronger winds than lowland Plymouth, demanding robust roofing details.
Granite building movement
Tavistock's granite buildings are rigid structures where thermal expansion opens gaps at roof junctions. Flashings need to accommodate this movement without cracking.
World Heritage Site requirements
Parts of Tavistock 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 Tavistock have been converted to residential use, with new roof structures inserted into historic stone shells that need careful waterproofing.
Trade is full of uncertainty. We remove it.

"Our stone cottage gutters were in a state -- sagging, leaking onto the bay window below. Tamar Roofing replaced the lot in a day, even matched the cast-iron profile. Tidy work."
