in Crownhill, Plymouth

Why Choose Your Local Bovey Tracey Roofing Expert?

When you call Devon and Cornwall Roofing, you're not getting a faceless national company or a subcontractor. You're dealing directly with me, the roofer who will personally assess your leak, provide a clear quote, and carry out the repair from start to finish. This direct approach means clear communication, consistent quality, and genuine accountability. I live and work in the South West, so I understand the unique weather challenges your roof faces, from the driving rain to the strong winds that sweep across Dartmoor.

Pinpointing the Problem: Our Leak Detection Process

Finding the source of a roof leak can often be trickier than it seems. Water can travel a long way from its entry point before showing up inside your home. I don't just patch a visible damp spot; I conduct a thorough inspection to trace the water's path back to its origin. This might involve checking the roof structure, examining tiles and slates, inspecting leadwork around chimneys and valleys, and assessing your guttering. My goal is to find the root cause, ensuring a long-lasting and effective repair, not just a temporary fix.

Common Causes of Roof Leaks in the South Devon Climate

Over the years, I've seen countless roof leaks across Bovey Tracey and nearby towns like Newton Abbot, Chudleigh, and Ashburton. Many are caused by issues common to our climate:

  • Slipped or Cracked Tiles/Slates: High winds can dislodge tiles, or frost can cause them to crack, creating an opening for water.
  • Failed Leadwork: The lead flashing around chimneys, dormer windows, or in roof valleys can crack or lift over time, allowing water to penetrate.
  • Damaged Flat Roofs: Bitumen felt or older flat roof materials can blister, crack, or tear, leading to leaks, especially in pooling areas.
  • Blocked or Damaged Gutters: Overflowing gutters can cause water to run back under the eaves or damage the fascia boards, leading to leaks.
  • Chimney Stack Issues: Crumbling mortar, damaged brickwork, or faulty chimney pots can allow water to seep down into your home.

Comprehensive Roof Leak Solutions for All Roof Types

No matter the type of roof or the nature of the leak, Devon and Cornwall Roofing has the expertise to get it fixed. I work on all kinds of properties, from traditional stone cottages in rural Bovey Tracey to modern detached homes. My services include:

Your Questions Answered

Roof Leak Repair Questions

Find clear answers to common questions about our roof leak repair services for homeowners and businesses in Crownhill, Plymouth, and across Devon and Cornwall.

What should I do first if I discover a roof leak?

+

The immediate priority is to stop the water causing further damage inside your home. Grab a bucket or a large container and place it directly under the leak to catch the dripping water. If it’s soaking through, use old towels or cloths to absorb the moisture. It’s vital not to attempt to get onto the roof yourself – it’s incredibly dangerous, especially if it's wet or windy. Once you’ve contained the leak, your next step should be to call a professional roofer. Here at Devon and Cornwall Roofing, we're ready to take your call and help you out today. We can talk you through the situation and arrange a visit to assess the roof and start the repair work quickly.

What's the typical cost for a roof leak repair?

+

The cost of a roof leak repair can vary quite a bit, as it depends on what's causing the leak and how extensive the damage is. It could be something straightforward like a few slipped slates or cracked tiles that need replacing, or it might involve more complex issues like failing leadwork around a chimney, or a problem with a flat roof. We believe in honest, transparent pricing. That’s why we offer a clear, detailed, and no-obligation quote after we’ve properly inspected your roof. We’ll explain exactly what needs doing, why it needs doing, and the cost involved, so you know exactly what to expect from our quality services.

My chimney seems to be leaking – can you fix that?

+

Yes, absolutely. Chimneys are a common source of leaks because they’re exposed to all the elements and have various points where water can get in, like flashing or failing mortar. We regularly carry out chimney repairs, from re-pointing crumbling brickwork to replacing damaged lead flashing. Diagnosing a chimney leak requires a professional eye, and we’ll meticulously inspect the chimney stack to pinpoint the exact cause of the water ingress before recommending the best course of action. Our team has years of experience tackling all sorts of roof and chimney-related issues.

Do you repair all types of roofs, including flat roofs?

+

Yes, we certainly do. Our expertise covers the full spectrum of roofing. Whether you have a traditional pitched roof with tiles or slates, or a modern flat roof, we have the knowledge and skills to carry out lasting repairs. For flat roofs, this includes working with contemporary materials like GRP fibreglass and EPDM rubber, as well as traditional felt. Whatever the type of roof, you can trust Devon and Cornwall Roofing to provide a top-quality, durable repair that protects your home for years to come.
