Expert Roof Repairs in Launceston, Cornwall

It's a familiar story for many homeowners: you notice a tiny water stain in the corner of the spare room and think, 'I'll look at that later.' But in Cornwall, 'later' often comes after a heavy South West gale. Water ingress can be sneaky, finding its way through tiny gaps in your leadwork or around your chimney stack. By the time you see a drip, the timber beams underneath could already be soaking up moisture. We specialise in track-and-trace leak detection, finding the exact spot where the barrier has failed. From fixing perished underlay to sealing up leaky valleys, we'll make sure your home is completely watertight. Why risk the structural integrity of your property when a simple repair could save you thousands in the long run?

Launceston is famous for its beautiful traditional architecture, which often means working with classic Cornish slate. These roofs look stunning, but over time, the old nails can perish, leading to slipped slates that let in the rain. Our team knows exactly how to handle these materials, sourcing the right match to ensure your repair doesn't look like an eyesore. We don't just stop at slate, though. If your home has modern concrete tiles or clay pantiles, we've got the expertise to swap out cracked units and secure your ridge tiles. We often find that mortar-bedding on older roofs starts to crumble after years of frost and rain. We can re-bed your tiles or even upgrade you to a modern dry-fix system, which is much better at standing up to the local weather without the need for constant maintenance.

When a storm hits, the last thing you want is a hole in your roof and a long wait for help. We provide a rapid-response emergency roofing service for Launceston and the surrounding villages within a 25-mile radius. If a tree branch has come down or the wind has ripped away a section of felt, we're here to help. Our first priority is always to make your property safe and prevent further damage. We'll carry out an immediate assessment and provide a temporary fix if a full repair isn't possible right away due to the weather. We're also experienced in dealing with insurance claims, providing the detailed reports and clear quotes your providers need to get things moving. Have you checked your roof after the last big blow? Sometimes the damage isn't obvious from the ground, which is why a quick professional check can offer such peace of mind.

Flat roofs have a bit of a reputation for leaking, but usually, it's just a case of aging materials or poor initial installation. If your garage, extension, or porch roof is starting to pool water or show signs of cracking, we can help. We work with all the modern, high-performance systems, including GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber, and traditional high-performance felt. Sometimes a simple patch is all that's needed to extend the life of your roof by several years. Other times, we might suggest a more permanent solution if the decking underneath has started to rot. We'll always give you the options straight, explaining the pros and cons of each so you can make the right choice for your budget.
