Living so close to the sea means our roofs face unique challenges that homes further inland just don't see. High winds often lead to slipped slates or tiles, especially on the older, characterful properties that make Kingsbridge so beautiful. We also see a lot of lead flashing being pulled loose around chimneys and valleys, which is a prime spot for water ingress. Have you noticed your ridge tiles looking a bit wonky? If the mortar has perished, a heavy gust can easily dislodge them. We handle everything from simple tile replacements to urgent structural repairs, ensuring your property is secure against the elements.

One of the biggest headaches after a storm is actually seeing the extent of the damage. In the past, this meant putting up expensive scaffolding or clambering up ladders in potentially dangerous conditions. We do things differently. By using high-resolution drone surveys, we can get a bird’s-eye view of your entire roof in minutes. It is safer, much faster, and allows us to show you exactly what’s wrong without you having to take our word for it. Whether it is a blocked gutter or a cracked chimney stack, we catch the details that are often missed from the ground.

Why does local knowledge matter? Because a roof in the South Hams has to work harder than a roof in the Home Counties. We understand the 'coastal battering' our buildings take. When we carry out repairs, we don't just patch things up; we use materials and fixings designed to withstand salt spray and high-velocity winds. From ridge tile re-bedding using high-grade mortar to installing EPDM rubber on flat roofs that won't crack in the sun or lift in a gale, we make sure our repairs are built to last. It is about giving you peace of mind that your home is genuinely protected.

Most homeowners we speak to are worried about two things after storm damage: the cost and the paperwork. If you are planning to claim through your buildings insurance, we are here to make that process a lot smoother. We provide detailed damage reports and clear, transparent quotes that your insurance provider will actually understand. Because we use drones, we can also provide high-quality photographic evidence of the damage, which often helps speed up the approval process. We believe in honest pricing with no hidden surprises, so you'll know exactly where you stand from day one.
