Roofers in Exeter
We work on roofs right across Exeter, from the Victorian and Edwardian terraces in St Thomas, Newtown and Heavitree to the interwar semis out at Pinhoe and Whipton.
Much of Exeter is natural slate over timber, with clay ridges bedded in mortar. On the older terraces the roofs are steep, the valleys run between properties, and access usually means scaffolding or a tower rather than a ladder from the pavement.

What we see most
Common roof problems in Exeter.
Slipped and cracked slates
Nail fixings rust through over decades, so slates start letting go one or two at a time. Spotting the pattern early is the difference between a patch repair and a re-roof.
Loose ridge and hip tiles
Old mortar bedding cracks and lets water and wind underneath. Re-bedding, or a dry ridge system, keeps them where they should be.
Valley and chimney leaks
Terraced roofs leak most often where two pitches meet or where lead abuts a chimney stack. It usually shows up as a damp patch nowhere near the actual fault.
