New Roofs

New Roofs in Exeter

When a roof has reached the point where repairs no longer hold, replacing it is the safer option and, over the long run, usually the cheaper one. Many older roofs were simply not built for the heavier rain and stronger winds Devon now gets, and a roof that lets water in a little at a time does its damage out of sight.

As a roofing company working in Exeter, we strip the old covering, check the timbers underneath and fit a modern roof that is made to last: new underlay, new battens and new tiles or slates, with the ridges, hips, valleys and leadwork renewed at the same time.

We will also tell you plainly when you don’t need one. If the survey shows that a repair will do the job, that is what the written estimate will say.

  • Tiled and slate roofs
  • New underlay and battens
  • Ridges, hips and valleys renewed
  • Leadwork and flashings
  • Written estimate before work starts
  • All work guaranteed

Roof Repairs

Roof Repairs in Exeter

Most calls to a roofer in Exeter start the same way: a damp patch on a ceiling, a tile on the lawn after a windy night, or moss building up where it shouldn’t. Roof repairs are a core part of our work, and the sooner a fault is dealt with, the less it costs to put right.

We carry out roof repairs and maintenance to fix leaks, mend general wear and tear and restore damage caused by the weather. That means replacing broken, slipped and missing tiles and slates, re-fixing ridge and hip tiles, renewing flashings and valleys, and clearing moss where it is holding water against the roof.

A well-repaired roof keeps your home insulated, structurally sound and protected from the elements, and regular maintenance is what stops a simple repair becoming a re-roof.

  • Leaks found and fixed
  • Missing, slipped and broken tiles
  • Ridge, hip and verge repairs
  • Flashings and valleys
  • Weather damage
  • Moss and general wear and tear

Flat Roofs

Flat Roofs in Exeter

We replace and repair flat roofs using a number of systems, including EPDM rubber roofing, traditional felt and asphalt coatings. Which one suits your roof depends on its size and shape, what sits on or around it, and your budget.

Flat roofs are prone to leaking, mainly through age, poor maintenance and years of exposure to the weather. If a leak goes unnoticed, water soaks into the decking, the insulation and the woodwork beneath it, and the rot that follows is far more expensive to deal with than the roof covering. Damp inside the building is a health risk too.

Seen cracks or splits around the edges of a flat roof, or a damp patch on the ceiling below? We are happy to come out, survey the roof and give you a free estimate for the work we recommend.

Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Fascias, Soffits & Guttering in Exeter

Replacing the uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering is a cost-effective way to smarten up a house and protect the edge of the roof at the same time. We use quality uPVC products that are low-maintenance, economical and long-lasting, in a choice of styles and colours to suit the property.

Modern fascia boards, soffit boards and guttering can all be replaced quickly and with little disruption. Bargeboards and dry verges on the gable ends can be renewed in the same visit.

Guttering does a vital job. A build-up of leaves and debris leads to blockages and overflowing rainwater, which damages the roof and raises the risk of damp and mould inside. We clear gutters and downpipes and carry out minor repairs to keep the whole rainwater system working.

  • uPVC fascia and soffit boards
  • Guttering and downpipes
  • Bargeboards and dry verges
  • Choice of styles and colours
  • Gutter and downpipe clearing
  • Minor gutter repairs

Chimney Repairs

Chimney Repairs in Exeter

The chimney is the most exposed part of any roof, and it is often where a leak starts. We handle most kinds of chimney repair: repointing the brickwork, renewing the flaunching that beds the pots, replacing chimney pots, capping, and renewing the lead and step flashing where the stack meets the roof.

Where a chimney is no longer used, some owners prefer to remove the stack altogether. We take off the pots, cowls and flaunching, then take the stack down brick by brick, safely and carefully.

Chimneys give a house much of its character, so we do our best to find materials that match the original stack and the building it belongs to.

  • Chimney repointing
  • Flaunching renewed
  • Chimney pots and capping
  • Lead and step flashing
  • Chimney stack removal
  • Materials matched to the original

Roofs and details

What a roofer looks at

Most roofing problems start at a joint, an edge or a fixing. These are the details a roofer checks first on any roof in Exeter, and why they matter.

A tiled hip roof with a roof window. Hips and the flashing round a window are the places a re-roof has to get right.
Close-up of terracotta roof tiles with one tile slipped out of line
One slipped tile. A gap this size lets wind-driven rain reach the underlay and loosens the tiles around it.
