Expert Pitched Roofing in Salcombe, Devon

A new roof is a big investment, and we want to make sure you get it right the first time. In Salcombe and the surrounding Devon villages, natural slate is a popular choice for its classic look and incredible durability. However, modern clay and concrete tiles are also brilliant options for many South Hams homes. When we install a new pitched roof, we don't just slap on some tiles. We look at the whole system—from the breathable membrane that prevents condensation to the sturdy battening that keeps everything secure. It’s all about creating a roof that adds value to your property and actually helps with your energy efficiency. Are you planning an extension or a full renovation? We'll guide you through the materials that best suit your home’s character and the local climate.

We’ve all seen how quickly the weather can turn in Devon. One minute it's a calm afternoon, the next you're hearing tiles rattling in the wind. If you've got slipped slates or cracked tiles, it’s best to get them sorted before the next big downpour. We provide a rapid-response service for emergency roof repairs across Salcombe, Kingsbridge, and the South Hams. Most homeowners we chat with are worried about the cost of repairs, but often, a simple fix like re-bedding ridge tiles or replacing a few slates can save you thousands in the long run. We pride ourselves on being honest; if it can be repaired, we’ll fix it. If it’s truly reached the end of its life, we’ll explain why and give you a clear, no-nonsense quote for the replacement.

The trickiest parts of any pitched roof aren't the flat surfaces—it's where the roof meets a wall, a chimney, or another roof slope. These spots, like valleys and abutments, need specialist leadwork to stay watertight. Our team is skilled in traditional lead welding and flashing, ensuring that those vulnerable joints don't let a single drop of water through. We see a lot of older properties in the South Hams where the lead has perished over decades, leading to sneaky leaks that are hard to track down. Using the right techniques and high-quality lead, we can secure your chimney stacks and roof valleys so they’re ready to face another fifty years of Devon weather. Is your chimney looking a bit weathered? We also handle re-pointing to keep everything solid and safe.
