Comprehensive new roof / roof replacement solutions.
Full Re-Roof (Like-for-Like)
Complete strip and replacement using matching materials, ideal when the existing roof has reached the end of its life but the style suits the property.
Roof Upgrade
Replacing an old concrete tile roof with natural slate, or upgrading from felt to a modern breathable membrane for better performance and appearance.
New Build & Extension Roofs
Pitched and flat roofing for new builds, loft conversions, and home extensions, designed to complement the existing property.
Timber & Structural Repairs
Rotten rafters, sagging joists, and damaged battens are replaced as part of a full re-roof. We fix the structure, not just the surface.
Conservation & Listed Buildings
Sensitive roof replacements on heritage and listed properties using period-appropriate materials and techniques that satisfy planning requirements.
Insulation & Ventilation Upgrade
Modern insulation fitted during the re-roof process to bring older properties up to current Building Regulations standards.
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 use precise drone imaging to inspect every angle of your roof safely and thoroughly. Zero risk to your property, zero pushy sales pitches. Just an honest, plain-English report showing you exactly what we see.
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 10-year guarantee handed over once you're happy.
Signs Your Roof Needs Replacing
Widespread Nail Sickness
Corroded fixings cause slates and tiles to slip repeatedly across the whole roof. Patching individual slates is no longer viable.
Multiple Leaks in Different Locations
When leaks appear in several places at once, the underlying felt and battens have typically failed across the roof.
Sagging Roofline
A visible dip or bow in the ridge or roofline indicates structural timber problems that require a full strip-back to address.
Daylight Visible Through Roof Boards
If you can see daylight from inside the loft, the roof covering has failed beyond the point of localised repair.
Roof Over 60 Years Old
Most concrete tile roofs and many older felt-battened roofs reach the end of their life in about 50 to 70 years, especially in coastal Devon conditions.
Previous Patch-Over-Patch Repairs
When a roof has had multiple overlapping repairs, the integrity of the whole system is compromised and a clean start is more cost-effective.

The true cost of cheap work.
A roof replacement is a significant investment, and it can be tempting to go with the lowest price. But cutting corners on a new roof creates problems that cost far more to fix later.
Substandard Timber
Cheap quotes often use undersized or untreated battens and rafters. These deteriorate quickly in Devon's damp climate, leading to premature failure.
No Breathable Membrane
Some budget roofers skip the breathable membrane or use low-grade felt. Without proper ventilation, condensation rots the timber structure from the inside.
Poor Flashing Details
Lead flashing around chimneys, walls, and valleys is where most leaks originate. Rushed or inexperienced installation means leaks within months.
No Building Regulations Sign-Off
A full re-roof is notifiable work under Building Regulations. Cheap operators skip this step, leaving you with compliance problems at sale.
