High winds don't just blow through; they create a massive amount of suction that can lift even the heaviest tiles. Most homeowners we speak to in Salcombe notice the damage only after the rain starts coming through the light fittings. Whether it’s a row of slipped slates or your lead flashing has been peeled back like a tin can, water ingress moves quickly and doesn't wait for a convenient time to stop. We don't just slap a bit of sealant on and hope for the best. Our team finds the root cause—maybe it’s a perished nail or a ridge tile that's lost its grip—and fixes it properly so you can sleep soundly during the next storm.

After a big blow, the last thing you want is someone clambering over potentially loose tiles just to give you a quote. It's often dangerous and can actually cause more damage to an already fragile roof. That’s why we use high-definition drone roof surveys to get a bird's-eye view of your chimney stacks and valleys. It’s faster, safer, and it means we can show you exactly what’s wrong on a screen while we're standing in your garden. Have you ever wondered what the state of your chimney pointing or guttering really looks like from above? Now you can see the evidence for yourself without anyone needing to set up expensive scaffolding just for an inspection.

Dealing with insurance companies after your property has been damaged is usually the last thing anyone wants to do. It’s a bit of a headache, isn't it? To make your life easier, we provide detailed damage reports backed up by our drone footage and photos. We’ll document every dislodged tile, cracked chimney pot, and twisted piece of leadwork so your insurer has everything they need to process your claim without the usual back-and-forth. We've helped plenty of neighbours in the South Hams navigate this process, ensuring they get the professional repairs they're entitled to without the stress of proving the damage was storm-related.

A roof in Salcombe has to do a lot more work than one in a sheltered inland town. Between the salt air and the constant humidity, standard materials often just don't cut it. We focus on using high-grade slates and salt-resistant fixings designed to withstand the unique pressures of the Devon climate. From re-bedding ridge tiles with modern, durable mortar mixes to repairing your fascias and soffits, we build for longevity. Why settle for a quick patch-up that might fail during the first big blow of next winter? We're experts in both heritage slate and modern tile replacement, ensuring your home stays protected and looks the part too.
