The wind coming up the River Dart can be brutal, often catching the edge of a roof and causing havoc. We see a lot of water ingress caused by lead flashing that has been pulled away from chimneys or ridge tiles that have been lifted clean off. Our team handles everything from a few simple tile replacements to more complex structural repairs. We also look after your fascias, soffits, and guttering, which are often the first things to suffer when a storm hits. If your gutters are hanging off or blocked with debris after a blow, it can lead to serious damp issues. We'll get them cleared, repaired, and flowing properly again before the next downpour.

In the past, checking a roof for damage after a storm meant putting up expensive scaffolding or clambering up ladders in potentially dangerous conditions. We do things a bit differently. We use drone roof surveys to get a high-definition, bird's-eye view of your entire roof safely from the ground. It is faster, safer, and often much cheaper for you. These surveys are incredibly helpful for insurance claims, too. Most homeowners we speak to find that having clear, dated photos of the damage makes the whole process with their insurance company much smoother. We can provide a full report that shows exactly what needs doing, so there's no guesswork involved.

Totnes is full of beautiful, historic buildings, from the timber-framed houses in the Narrows to the traditional slate roofs of the South Hams. These older properties need a specific touch. We understand the heritage materials used in our area and ensure that any slate repairs or chimney re-pointing work we do matches the character of your home. We also know which modern materials, like GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, are best for flat roofs that need to stand up to the 'coastal batterings' we get down here. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions; we recommend the materials that we know will actually last in the Devon climate.

We've all heard the stories about 'storm chasers'—builders who suddenly appear after a gale, offering quick fixes for cash. We are a local, fully insured business with a reputation to protect. When we come out to see you, we provide a free, no-obligation quote that explains exactly what the job entails. There are no hidden fees or 'extra' costs added on at the end. We pride ourselves on being tidy, turning up when we say we will, and leaving your home exactly as we found it (minus the leaks, of course). Whether it is a minor leak repair or a larger project, you'll get the same level of care and professional service.
