Expert Pitched Roofing in Sherford, Devon

Are you wondering whether to go for natural slate or modern concrete tiles? It is a question we get asked a lot by Sherford residents. Natural slate looks stunning and can last a lifetime, making it a favourite for heritage projects or anyone wanting that classic Devon look. On the other hand, concrete and clay tiles offer fantastic versatility and durability for modern family homes. We will help you weigh up the costs and benefits, ensuring your new roof installation does not just look the part but stands up to the toughest South Hams weather. We specialise in both, so whether you are looking for that sleek, dark slate finish or a more textured tile appearance, we have got the expertise to deliver a flawless result.

Have you noticed a slipped slate or a bit of damp appearing on the ceiling after a heavy downpour? It is easy to put off small repairs, but in our experience, a tiny leak can quickly turn into a major headache if left alone. Our team is out in Sherford and the surrounding South Hams villages every week, fixing everything from loose ridge tiles to blocked valley gutters. We also specialise in storm damage repairs, so if the latest gale has left your roof looking a bit worse for wear, we are only a phone call away to get things secured and watertight again. Regular maintenance is the best way to avoid the stress of a sudden leak, and we are always happy to pop by for a quick check-up to ensure everything is as it should be.

Roofing has come a long way from the old days of heavy mortar and non-breathable felt. Today, we use high-quality breathable membranes to stop condensation from building up in your loft, which is essential for modern energy efficiency. We also highly recommend dry ridge and dry verge systems. These are mortar-free ways of securing your roof edges and peaks, which means no more worrying about old cement cracking and falling out over time. It is these modern touches, combined with traditional battening and counter-battening, that make our installations some of the most reliable in Devon. By upgrading your roof structure, you are not just protecting your home; you are likely improving your EPC rating and saving on heating bills too.

It is often the areas where your roof meets a wall or a chimney—the abutments—that are the most vulnerable. That is where expert leadwork comes in. We do not just 'patch things up'; our roofing contractors provide specialist lead welding for valleys and flashings to ensure a permanent, watertight seal. If your leadwork is perishing or you have noticed water ingress around your chimney stack, it is worth getting it looked at by a professional. Our Sherford roofing specialists take pride in the precision of our leadwork, ensuring your home stays dry in even the toughest South West rain. It is that attention to detail on the 'small' things that prevents big water damage issues down the line.
