Expert Roof Replacement in Totnes, Devon

Have you noticed yourself checking the ceiling every time it pours? Or maybe you've spotted more than a few slate fragments on your driveway after a breezy night? Most homeowners we chat with in Totnes tell us they've been worried about a 'recurring' leak for years before finally deciding to go for a full re-roof. If your roof is over 60 years old, or if you're constantly calling out someone for minor repairs, it might be time for a fresh start. A full strip and re-tile doesn't just stop the drips; it solves underlying issues like rotting battens or a perished underlay that's no longer doing its job. Think of it as a permanent weight off your shoulders.

Totnes is famous for its unique character and heritage, so you'll want a roof that fits in perfectly with the local aesthetic. We specialise in natural slate roofing, which is ideal for those Victorian terraces and older cottages that give our town its charm. If you're looking for something a bit more modern or cost-effective, we also offer a wide range of concrete and clay tiles in various colours and profiles. When we carry out a replacement, we don't just swap the top layer. We install high-performance breathable membranes to prevent condensation and replace old timber battens, ensuring your new roof is as technically sound as it is beautiful. It’s about getting that perfect blend of 'kerb appeal' and modern efficiency.

Flat roofs have a bit of a bad reputation for leaking, don't they? That’s usually because the old felt systems of the past weren't built to last. If your garage, extension, or dormer roof is starting to bubble or pool water, we can replace it with modern, high-performance materials like GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber. These systems are incredibly durable and, unlike old-fashioned felt, they don't have seams that can easily pull apart. Imagine never having to worry about your flat roof again. Whether you’re near the Dart or up towards Harberton, our flat roofing solutions are designed to withstand the dampest Devon winters without breaking a sweat.

Working on a property in the Totnes conservation area? We understand the extra care (and paperwork) that often comes with heritage roofing. We’re well-versed in traditional techniques, including bespoke leadwork and flashings around chimney stacks and valleys. We know how important it is to respect the architectural history of the South Hams, which is why we source authentic materials that local planning officers approve of. We can even help you navigate the process of keeping your home’s character intact while upgrading its thermal performance with modern insulation. It’s the best of both worlds: a historic look with the warmth of a 21st-century home.
