Why Choose Us?

Our Step-by-Step Pitched Roof Replacement Process

Replacing a roof is a significant investment, which is why we handle every stage of the project with transparency and precision. Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your existing roof structure, checking the integrity of your gable, hip, and valley sections to identify any hidden issues.Once we safely strip away old materials and slipped slates, we install high-grade breathable membranes to prevent condensation and improve ventilation. This is followed by fresh, treated battening to provide a robust framework. Finally, we lay your chosen slates or tiles using modern dry ridge and dry hip systems, which offer a secure, mortar-free finish that withstands high winds far better than traditional methods.If you are simply looking for maintenance rather than a full replacement, we also offer targeted roof repairs to keep your property watertight.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Expert pitched roof installations and replacements in St Austell, delivering durable and energy-efficient slate and tile roofs for your home. Questions

Answers to common questions about our Expert pitched roof installations and replacements in St Austell, delivering durable and energy-efficient slate and tile roofs for your home.

Do you offer emergency roof repairs for storm damage?

Yes, we provide an emergency roof repair service across Plymouth and Cornwall. We know that high winds and heavy coastal rain can cause sudden damage to slate and tile roofing. If you spot a leak or a missing tile after a storm, do not let a minor leak cause major structural damage. Call our team immediately, and we will secure your property to stop water ingress before carrying out a permanent fix.

What is the best material for a flat roof replacement in St Austell?

The best material depends on the location and use of the roof, but we highly recommend GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber. Both modern materials outperform traditional felt. GRP fibreglass creates a seamless, tough surface perfect for balconies or garages, while EPDM rubber flexes with temperature changes to prevent cracking. We can talk you through both options during your free survey.

Will I need a completely new roof or just a roof repair?

We will only suggest a completely new roof if your current one is beyond saving. During our inspection, we look at the condition of the underlay, the strength of the timber joists, and the state of the slates or tiles. If the damage sits in one small area, a simple repair usually works perfectly. If the timber is rotting or the roof constantly leaks, replacing it will save you money and stress in the long run.

Can you upgrade my old polycarbonate conservatory roof?

Absolutely. Many homeowners find their older conservatories too hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. We specialise in conservatory roof replacements, swapping out thin plastics for solid, insulated roofing systems. Make your conservatory usable all year round—cooler in summer, warmer in winter—by upgrading your roof with our skilled team.

Do you handle chimney repairs and leadwork?

Yes, your chimney takes the brunt of the coastal weather and often acts as a common source of leaks. We repair crumbling mortar, fix storm-damaged chimney pots, and replace worn-out lead flashing. Proper leadwork creates a watertight seal between your chimney and the pitched roof, keeping your home completely dry.
